PRA-210 Dual Intel® Xeon® LC5518 / LC5528 Processor 40G ATCA Hub or Full Mesh Node Blade

Scheduled for release in Q3-2010, the JumpGen Systems PRA-210 Dual Intel® Xeon® Processor 40G ATCA Hub or Full Mesh Node Blade is a high-performance processor AdvancedTCA™ blade designed for use in ATCA systems and compliant with PICMG 3.0 Revision 3.0 single slot form factor standards. Featuring two LC5518/LC5528 4-core processors with up to 2.13GHz clock rate, each processor can have up to 24GB of triple-channel 72-bit wide DDR3 ECC memory running at 1600 MHz. The Intel® Xeon® LC55xx processors are 4-core 8-thread processors with 256k of L2 cache per core and 8M of L3 cache.

The PRA-210 can be delivered in a configuration with two independent LC55xx processors or with the two processors tied together via the 4.8GT/s QPI Interface, thus operating as a single 8-core CPU.

  1. The PRA-210 supports the following I/O Options:
    1. Node Board – full mesh supporting 14 40GigE fabric slots (also useable as a dual-star node board), 2 base ports, optional RTM with 10 x 1GigE SFP bays.
    2. Hub Board – supporting 13 40GigE fabric slots, 13 1GigE base slots, 1 GigE to Shelf Manager, and RTM featuring 2 x 1GigE, and 4 x 40GigE (or 4 x 10GigE).
  2. The PRA-210 supports the following build options for the processor configuration: • Two independent 4-core processors each with its own Platform Controller Hub (PCH) • Two processors tied via fast QPI interface and functioning as a single SMP 8-core processor, with one common PCH
