The AMC121 is a 64-bit AdvancedMC™ (AMC) single board compute module with the Intel® Core™ 2 Duo processor, which features a dual-core 1.5 GHz processor and is designed for high performance embedded applications. The AMC121 provides equipment manufacturers with the ability to extend and tailor the performance of their AdvancedTCA® and MicroTCA™ systems to meet the increasing need for cost-effective and modular processing capabilities.

The Intel Core 2 Duo processor provides a highly scalable x86 architecture that delivers next generation performance and a flexible upgrade path from 32- to 64-bit computing. Its dual-core architecture offers advanced processing speed while addressing the power and heat constraints of the AMC form factor. Designed to run Linux®, Solaris™, and Windows®-based applications, the AMC121 is the ideal processor for the high-end packet processing or multi-threaded software applications found in IMS, wireless, softswitch, defense, or any other compute-intensive application.

Hardware Features

The AMC121 features the Intel Core 2 Duo processor that supports dual-core operation with up to 4 GB DDR2 with ECC memory for unparalleled performance. The CPU is linked to the Intel 3100 embedded chipset via a 667 MHz front side bus. The 3100 supports two SATA interfaces and eight-lane PCI Express® to the AMC card edge connector. The AMC interface also includes dual 1 GB/2.5 Gb Ethernet ports with support for TCP/IP Offload Engine (TOE), iSCSI, and Remote Direct Memory Access (RDMA). Connectivity on the front panel includes dual 1 Gb Ethernet ports, USB 2.0, and a serial console port.

Flexible I/O and Super Computer Performance

The AMC121 is designed for use in AdvancedTCA carriers or MicroTCA chassis, and allows system designers to build NEBS-complaint, highly reliable solutions that combine state-of-the-art management with the highest performance power and cooling. A clustered computing architecture built with the AMC121 and a standards-compliant Advanced Managed Platform™ offering can outperform proprietary blade server architectures from both a computing-density-per-rack and a total-cost-of-ownership perspective.

NexusWare® Software Support

The AMC121 features support for Performance Technologies’ Linux-based NexusWare® software development environment. NexusWare is an integrated, CGL-Registered, and POSIX-compliant Linux OS and development environment that features a graphically integrated toolset.
