Overview

The PCIE-5565RC low profile PCI Express (PCIe) Reflective Memory node card provides highly scalable technology supporting up to 256 nodes.
PCIE-5565RC node card

 

Each Reflective Memory board may be configured with 128 MB or 256 MB of onboard SDRAM. The local SDRAM provides fast Read access times to stored data. Writes are stored in local SDRAM and broadcast over a high speed fiber-optic data path to other Reflective Memory nodes. The transfer of data between nodes is software transparent, so no I/O overhead is required. Transmit and Receive FIFOs buffer data during peak data rates to optimize the host computer and bus performance to maintain high data throughput. PCIE-5565PIORC is RoHS compliant. It has improved PIO read performance and firmware that can be upgraded in the field.
