ATCA Media Resource Module

The RadiSys Promentum ATCA-9100-F is an ATCA media resource module that provides the highest density of media processing through the use of latest multi-core DSP silicon from Freescale (MSC8144). It incorporates a powerful architecture to enable media processing for thousands of channels, yet offers flexibility in its design through modularity to provide smooth migration to future DSPs. Its AdvancedTCA form factor makes it appropriate for use in Carrier Grade network elements such as Media Gateways and high density Media Servers in Wireless, Broadband and IPTV applications. The AdvancedTCA module is available fully integrated into the award winning RadiSys Promentum SYS-6010 10 Gigabit Application Ready Platform to enable faster time to market for TEMs to develop their next generation network elements.

The ATCA-9100-F is a single slot ATCA Media Resource Module/Blade compliant with PICMG 3.1 Option 9 interface specification. It is based on a modular design for the DSP farms, and uses two purpose-built mezzanine cards to house up to 10 quad-core Freescale MSC8144s. Each multi-core DSP device is capable of processing hundreds of voice or video codec channels. The media resource module includes 10GE fabric capability (PICMG 3.1 Option 9) thus enabling high bandwidth connectivity to the DSPs for processing multi-media channels requiring direct high bandwidth connections to DSP. The ATCA-9100-F also incorporates Serial RapidIO (sRIO) connectivity to each DSP device, supporting management and debug of DSP code. The sRIO path enables loading code into DSP memory, DSP access to the application flash, and communication between the DSPs and the Local Management Processor (LMP).
