There are a few new boards based on P.A. Semi's 1682M board. First we have some
from Mercury, who
previously have used 970 processors. Mercury also had previously verified their
Scientific Algorithm Library (SAL) on P.A. Semi's core, and will be using 1682M
in signal and image processing.
Next is the Themis PrPMC
Module, which they have named "TPA-XMC" (and you thought 1682M didn't roll
off the tongue). Themis is going after networking, wireless infrastruction,
storage, and military/aerospace with the PrPMC-XMC form factor.
Finally, an
18-core ATCA card named XCalibur1411, from Extreme Engineering. Since
the 1682M doesn't support off-chip coherence, this is more like a
cluster-on-a-board rather than SMP. According to Extreme Engineering, this is
the fourth P.A. Semi board they've designed.
