Barcelona-HS

Spectrum’s Barcelona-HS board is a Quad ‘C6201 or ‘C6701 DSP processing engine provided in a Hot Swap 6U CompactPCI form factor. Barcelona-HS combines all the necessary multiprocessor DSP hardware and software tools to begin development for high availability (HA) systems. This board comes equipped with either four TMS320C6201 fixed-point DSP processors, or four TMS320C6701 floating-point DSP processors from Texas Instruments. The ‘C6201 and ‘C6701 DSP uses TI’s high-performance VelociTI™ VLIW architecture which includes 32 general purpose 32-bit registers, 6 arithmetic logic units (ALUs), and two 16-bit multipliers which generate a 32-bit result. When combined with Spectrum’s Hurricane PCI bridge ASIC in a distributed shared memory architecture, the Barcelona-HS board provides more than twice the inter-processor communications bandwidth of traditional architectures.
