Rugged OpenVPX processing module for defense and intelligence applications introduced by Mercury
March 26, 2015
CHELMSFORD, Mass., 26 March 2015. Mercury Systems Inc. in Chelmsford, Mass., is introducing the Ensemble LDS3506 rugged OpenVPX embedded computing module for defense and intelligence applications.
The module integrates the Intel Xeon processor D system-on-a-chip (SoC) product family with the Xilinx Ultrascale field-programmable gate array (FPGA) in a 3U package.
The Ensemble LDS3506 secures and cools commercial technology to produce a dense, powerful combination of general server-class and low-latency front-end FPGA processing in an open systems architecture module.
The LDS3506 provides x4 Gen3 PCI Express connectivity across the data plane via the Xilinx FPGA device, with several DMA-enabled non-transparent bridge (NTB) interfaces. The module's latest Xilinx FPGA hosts Mercury's Protocol Offload Engine Technology (POET).

The Ensemble LDS3506 supports open data movement middleware, including Open MPI and OpenMPI/OFED, VITA 46.11 system management, and standard optimized math libraries. Modules will be initially populated with the 45W TDP Xeon D-1540 processor and will be available with additional Intel Xeon D series processors as they become available.
