Quad-core PXI controller
10 June 2009
Computer/Embedded Technology
New from National Instruments is the NI PXI-8110 embedded controller, said to be the industry’s first 3U quad-core embedded controller for PXI systems. Featuring a 2,26 GHz Intel Core2 Quad processor Q9100, up to 4 GB 800 MHz DDR2 RAM and a high-performance 7200 rpm drive, it is also said to be the industry’s fastest embedded controller in the 3U PXI class. The PXI-8110 provides an up to 80% performance improvement over dual-core controllers with similar CPU clock frequencies for applications that are optimised to use the controller’s four processing cores.
As an example of its performance, the PXI-8110 can process up to 215 000 1K fast Fourier transforms (FFTs) per second. It is also available in a version that supports the NI LabVIEW Real-Time and LabWindows/CVI Real-Time modules to deliver a flexible and rugged platform for deterministic and realtime measurement and control. With dual-core realtime systems, engineers are limited to a single CPU core to execute time-critical application segments because the other core is used for executing noncritical background services. With the new PXI-8110 quad-core embedded controller, engineers can allocate multiple CPU cores to run time-critical test sections while delegating noncritical services to the remaining cores. This capability helps engineers create powerful real-time and deterministic systems.
