RPA-200 ATCA Dual Netlogic XLP Packet Processor 40G Hub or Full Mesh Node Blade

Scheduled for release in Q3-2010, the JumpGen Systems RPA-200 Dual XLP Packet Processor 40G ATCA Hub or Full Mesh Node Blade is a high-performance network 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 Netlogic XLP832 eight-core processors with up to 2GHz clock rate, the RPA-200 can carry up to 32GB of quad-channel 72-bit wide DDR3 ECC memory running at 1600 MHz per XLP processor.

The two XLP processors can be operated as a single large CPU by virtue of Interchip Coherency Interface (ICI) seamless connections, ensuring chip-to-chip coherency, and global shared memory and I/O resources.

The RPA-200 supports a unique and powerful stacking option to extend this seamless connection to 4 XLP CPUs within a dual-slot ATCA space, and thus operate 4 XLP processors as a single very large CPU.

The Netlogic XLP832s are multi-core, multi-threaded MIPS64® processors with up to 40 Gbps bulk encryption (DES / 3DES, AES 128/192/256, ARC4 and others) via 10 high-speed crypto cores and integrated security acceleration (RSA / DH Exponentiation for SSL / IPSec). The RPA-200 is ideal for security applications in wireless and wireline access points, switches, routers, radio network controllers, media gateways and video processing.

The R7A-200 will support the following configuration build options

  1. The RPA-200 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).
