Ensemble 6000 Series OpenVPX Intel Core i7 Dual-Core LDS6520 Module

The Ensemble® 6000 Series OpenVPX™ (VITA 65) Intel® Core i7 Dual-Core LDS6520 Module integrates a high-end Nehalem-class dual-core Intel Core i7 processor, a next-generation FPGA for both fabric bridging and user-application functions, and high-bandwidth on-board and off-board communication fabrics in a single 6U OpenVPX slot. By leveraging Intel high-density Core i7 processing with on-board integrated highperformance PCI Express infrastructure and I/O mezzanine sites, the LDS6520 delivers a well-balanced and scalable computing architecture that can provide processing and I/O functionality for highendradar, signals intelligence, and image processing applications.
