1. AdvancedTCA Summit 2007Leading the Way to New Standards-based Solutions What to Look for in Best-in-Class AdvancedMCs ? A.G. Karunakaran, President & CEO – Agk@gdatech.com Sept 19, 2007 | Session 202 – Hardware |

2. Agenda • ATCA and MicroTCA - Emerging Market Segments • What To look For in AMCs, for each Segment • Suitable Examples www.gdatech.com

3. Pervasive Computing Web Servers  Financial and Scientific Data Analysis Military Aeronautics Thin Client Media Gateways Home Media Centers Telecom & Wireless Infrastructure GPRS Support Nodes- GGSN &SGSN VoIP Gateways and IP-PBX Application Servers IM Media Gateways and MGCF Multimedia Resource Funtions - MRFC and MRFP Broadband Remote Access Servers CSCF &Signaling Gateways ATCA & MicroTCA - Emerging Market Segments Radio Network Controllers SGSN &GGSN Routers Media Gateway Military Aerospace www.gdatech.com

4. What to Look For in AMCs, for Computing ? • Performance Density is Crucial Demand for higher performance, in limited form-factor • And, Thermal fulfillment is Critical • Speed of operation vis-à-vis thermal balance. • Multi-Core Processor is the Key • Multi-core processors • Single vs Multiple processors • Multiple processors vs Multi-core • Multi-processing capable OS • The multi-core processor performance is always predicated upon availability of OS support and intelligent compilers. • Asymmetric Multi-processing (AMP) • Symmetric Multi-processing (SMP) • Multi-core programming tools • Tool chain support (parallel compiler, linker, optimizer, etc) www.gdatech.com

6. What to Look For in AMCs, for Telecom &Wireless Infrastructure • Both the above are Important • Performance Density • Thermal fulfillment • Yet, Connectivity is Foremost • Demand for Fast and Ubiquitous Access • Scalable Connectivity is the Key • Multi-Gigabit Ethernet • PCI-Express • Others : Limited in Scalability • RapidIO • Hyper Transport • Infiniband • Advanced Switching www.gdatech.com

7. What to Look For in AMCs, for Telecom &Wireless Infrastructure • Additionally, • High Memory Bandwidth • L1 Memory Latency • Large L2 Memory • Hardware Vector Processing engines • Hardware Security Features • Voice/ Media Encryption, etc www.gdatech.com

8. Suitable Example #1 • Freescale PowerPC™ Dual Core e600 processor, with each core operating up to 1.5GHz. • XOR via AltivecTM - vector processing engine. One AltivecTMengine per core. • Four Gigabit Ethernet ports • Two 10/100/1000 Ethernet ports in Front Panel • Eight lane PCI Express • IPMI power management • Temperature monitoring • Hot-swap support • Configurable Network interface, • Gigabit Ethernet • PCI Express • Serial RapidIO • Standard AMC connector interface • Embedded Linux, GDA Diagnostics GDA 8641D AMC www.gdatech.com

9. Highlights Four Gigabit Ethernet ports, and eight PCI Express lanes, combined with IPMI power management for ATCA applications. Hardware support for Katsumi (“Misty”) for 3G GSM voice encryption, DES, 3DES, MD-5, SHA-1/2, AES, RSA, RNG and ARC-4 Additional Features Freescale MPC8548E integrated host processor at 1,333 MHz JTAG interface Supports 256 MB/512 MB onboard DDR1 SDRAM memory and 167 MHz Standard AMC edge connector interface Software Embedded Linux, GDA Diagnostics Form Factor AMC.0 Complaint, Single width, Full height Suitable Example #2 GDA 8548E AMC www.gdatech.com
