The VF360 is a 3U OpenVPX module that leverages on Altera Stratix® V FPGA and Texas Instruments Key- Stone® Multicore DSP technology to provide an ultra-high bandwidth processing platform, ideally suited for computation and bandwidth intensive applications. The KeyStone provides the flexibility to perform complex post-processing functions more suited for the processor domain. The Stratic has two banks of dedicated DDR3 and QDRII+ memories for algorithms with high bandwidth and/or large memory size requirements. Highspeed serial interfaces to the OpenVPX data plane and the FMC-HPC Module site creates abundant IO throughput.
