The CPC5564 is the first 64-bit single-slot CompactPCI® single-board computer designed for high-performance embedded applications and features either the AMD Opteron™ 940 singlecore 1.8 GHz/2.2 GHz processor or the dual-core 1.8 GHz processor.

The AMD Opteron processor provides a highly scalable x86 architecture that delivers nextgeneration performance and a flexible upgrade path from 32- to 64-bit computing. Its multi-core architecture offers advanced processing speed while addressing the power and heat constraints of the CompactPCI form factor. Designed to run Linux®, Solaris™, and Windows® applications, the CPC5564 is the ideal processor for the high-end packet processing or multi-threaded software applications found in IMS, wireless, softswitch, defense, or other compute-intensive applications. Memory is accessed directly by the CPU without passing through a separate North Bridge, which dramatically improves performance.

Paired with the CPC5910 storage expansion module, the CPC5564 can support full RAID arrays, disk hot-swap, and 2 TB of high-performance SATA storage, which makes it an ideal embedded database server.

Hardware Features

The CPC5564 features AMD Opteron processors that support either single- or dual-core operation. The Broadcom HT-2000 server I/O chipset is linked to the CPU through a 16-lane HyperTransport™ bus running at 1000 MHz. This front-side bus is completely non-blocking to the array of I/O that the HT-2000 supports, including dual 1000 Mbps Ethernet, PCI-X™ 64/133, and eight-lane PCI Express®.

The HT-1000 South Bridge is connected to the HT-2000 through an eight-lane HyperTransport bus running at 800 MHz, and also provides additional USB 2.0 and serial ATA to support a variety of devices, including a rear transition module for hard disk storage, CompactFlash®, and static cabling off the back panel of a chassis.

The onboard layer-two switch provides two PICMG® 2.16 GbE connections to the backplane, two GbE connections to the PMC mezzanine site, one GbE routing to the front panel, and two GbE routings to the HT-2000, which allows total flexibility in routing IP traffic between all elements of the board without going offboard for switching. The switch can be configured with the desired switching options at boot through BIOS.

The PMC standard-compliant expansion site supports both dual TX GbE to the onboard switch and PCI-X 64/133 to the HT-2000 controller.

Performance Technologies works with industry partners to support a variety of I/O options that can function in this mezzanine slot, including 10 Gbps copper and fiber Ethernet, OC-192, fiber channel, and four-port GbE.

Flexible I/O and Super Computer Performance

The CPC5564 is designed for use with Performance Technologies' complete line of Advanced Managed Platform™ products such as the AMP5086 and AMP5095 chassis. It allows system designers to build NEBS-compliant, highly-reliable solutions that combine state-of-the-art management, the highest performance power and cooling, and integrated switching.

All of these solutions are compliant with the PICMG CompactPCI specification, which assures interoperability, broad vendor selection, and a range of choices to complement the CPC5564. A clustered computing architecture built with the CPC5564 and standards-compliant Advanced Managed Platform can outperform proprietary blade server architectures from both computingdensity-per-rack and total-cost-of-ownership perspectives.

The RTM4810, an advanced rear transition module, offers support for both SATA 2.5-in. hard drive disks, as well as CompactFlash memory, video, and USB. The CPC5564 can boot from any storage medium on this RTM or through a SATA connector on the rear face plate. By using the RTM 4810, the CPC5564 can be chained to a CPC5910 storage expansion module that contains two 3.5-in. hard drive disks to make a local RAID array with up to 2 TB of directly attached storage.

Thermal Design for Embedded Applications

The CPC5564 is designed to fit into the power and cooling capabilities of Performance Technologies’ Advanced Managed Platform solution, so customers can be assured that their applications will meet stringent requirements that include NEBS, UL, and ETSI. It is also designed from the ground up to be RoHS-compliant for systems that require toxic materials elimination. By employing advanced techniques that include the use of the onboard IPMC microcontroller to control CPU clock speed, Performance Technologies has designed the CPC5564 to automatically adjust to the most demanding environmental conditions.

No other computing solution in this form factor can match the CPC5564 for performance, throughput, and power and thermal efficiency.
