The AMC121 is a 64-bit AdvancedMC™
(AMC) single board compute module with
the Intel Core 2 Duo processor, which
features a dual-core 1.5 GHz processor and is
designed for high-performance embedded
applications. The AMC121 provides
equipment manufacturers with the ability to
extend and tailor the performance of their
AdvancedTCA® and MicroTCA® systems
to meet the increasing need for cost-effective
and modular processing capabilities.
The Intel Core 2 Duo processor provides a
highly scalable x86 architecture that delivers
next-generation performance and a flexible
upgrade path from 32- to 64-bit computing.
Its dual-core architecture offers advanced
processing speed while addressing the power
and heat constraints of the AMC form factor.
Designed to run Linux®, Solaris™, and
Windows®-based applications, the AMC121
is the ideal processor for the high-end packet
processing or multi-threaded software
applications found in IMS, wireless,
softswitch, defense, or any other computeintensive application.
Hardware Features
The AMC121 features the Intel Core 2 Duo
processor that supports dual-core operation
with up to 4 GB DDR2 with ECC memory for
unparalleled performance. The CPU is linked
to the Intel 3100 embedded chipset via a 667
MHz front side bus. The 3100 supports two
SATA interfaces and eight-lane PCI Express®
to the AMC card edge connector. The AMC
interface also includes dual 1 GB/2.5 Gb
Ethernet ports with support for TCP/IP Offload
Engine (TOE), iSCSI, and Remote Direct
Memory Access (RDMA). Connectivity on the
front panel includes dual 1 Gb Ethernet ports,
USB 2.0, and a serial console port.
Flexible I/O and Super Computer Performance
The AMC121 is designed for use in
AdvancedTCA carriers or MicroTCA chassis,
and allows system designers to build NEBScomplaint, highly reliable solutions that combine
state-of-the-art management with the highest
performance power and cooling. A clustered
computing architecture built with the AMC121
and a standards-compliant Advanced Managed
Platform™ offering can outperform proprietary
blade server architectures from both a
computing-density-per-rack and a total-cost-ofownership perspective.
NexusWare® Software Support
The AMC121 features support for PT’s Linux
OS and development environment. NexusWare
is an integrated, CGL Registered, and POSIXcompliant Linux OS and development
environment that features a graphically
integrated toolset.
