The SVME/DMV-1905 SBC, now with expanded memory support, Brings Latest Dual-Core Intel® Core™ i7 Processor and Exceptional Floating Point Performance to Demanding Military Applications
SAN DIEGO, CA – December 23, 2010 – Curtiss-Wright Controls Embedded Computing (CWCEC), a business group of Curtiss-Wright Controls and a leading designer and manufacturer of commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) VME, OpenVPX™ and CompactPCI products for the rugged deployed aerospace and defense market, has expanded the onboard memory capacity of its dual-core Intel® Core™-based SVME/DMV-1905 VME64x single board computer (SBC) with support for up to 8GB of SDRAM. The rugged SVME/DMV-1905 features a dual-core Intel® Core™ i7-610E processor and brings the low-power, high-performance advantages of Intel architecture to demanding harsh environment compute applications. The Intel® Core™ i7 processor is equipped with more cache memory than any previous Intel CPU, enabling it to process larger vectors at peak rates than previous processor technologies. Now with 8GB of SDRAM and 8GB of Flash, the SVME/DMV-1905 is ideal for handling applications with demanding storage, data logging and sensor processing needs.
“The combination of Intel® Core™ i7 processor performance, along with Intel’s commitment to long life-cycle supply, has propelled us to choose Intel as the best technology choice for our rugged single board computer product line,” said Lynn Bamford, vice president and general manager of Curtiss-Wright Controls Embedded Computing. “This multi-core processor board brings the unmatched performance of Intel’s multi-core Core™ i7 processor to VME systems, helping to bring advanced computing, such as virtual machine applications, to the embedded military market.”
The SVME/DMV-1905 utilizes the latest Intel® Core™ i7 processor with exceptional floating-point performance. Combining this advanced dual-core CPU and CWCEC’s proven rugged deployed technology, the SVME/DMV-1905 is designed for high performance operation in harsh, demanding rugged environments. With a direct connection to a 17GB/s (peak) DDR3 memory subsystem, the Intel® Core™ i7 processor is able to maximize the throughput of its SSE 4.2 floating point processing units.
The SVME/DMV-1905 complements CWCEC’S popular CHAMP-AV5 VME64x DSP engine, utilizing dual Intel® Core™ i7 processors. As a board set these two cards represent an industry milestone in bringing the myriad advantages of the Intel 32nm process technology to the rugged deployed COTS signal processing space.
The SVME/DMV-1905 features a high-bandwidth PCI Express® (PCIe) architecture with on-board PCIe connections between processor, mezzanine sites and the backplane. This high-bandwidth connectivity optimizes data communications between the SVME/DMV-1905 and additional boards integrated in a computing environment, including any mezzanine cards installed on the SVME/DMV-1905 and other boards installed on the system backplane.

About the CHAMP-AV5
The CHAMP-AV5 multi-processing board brings the floating-point performance of the Intel® Core™ i7 processor to the VME64x form factor standard. Utilizing a pair of 2.53 GHz dual-core Intel® Core™ i7-610E processors, the CHAMP-AV5 delivers performance rated up to 81 GFLOPs. With a 17GB/s (peak) DDR3 memory subsystem connected directly to the processor, the Intel CPU is able to optimize the throughput of its SSE 4.2 floating point processing units. With 4Mbytes of shared cache and two hardware threads per core, the Intel CPU can process larger vectors at peak rates significantly greater than was possible with previous AltiVec™-based systems.
