  1. VXS Cover VME Switched Serial “VXS” is a trademark of VITA

  2. VXS Overview • Adds switched serial interconnect(s) to the VME architecture coincident with the VMEbus parallel bus. • Employs standard open technology for the serial switched links. • Accommodates multiple switched serial technologies, but not necessarily at the same time. • Utilizes MULTIGIG RT 2 connector in P0 position. Demonstrated to support 10 Gb/s. • Pulls additional DC power onto each VME card over existing P1/P2 pins (VITA 1.7). • Maintains backward compatibility.

  3. VXS Family of Standards ANSI/VITA Standard VXS 41.0 VMEbus Switched Serial Base Specification Draft Standard VXS 41.1 InfiniBand Protocol Layer VXS 41.3 GbE Protocol Layer VXS 41.5 Aurora Protocol Layer VXS 41.8 10GbE Protocol Layer VXS 41.2 Serial RapidIO Protocol Layer VXS 41.4 PCI Express Protocol Layer VXS 41.6 1x Gigabit Ethernet Control Channel Layer VXS 41.10 Live Insertion System Requirements

  4. Relative Bus Performance Bus performance is a reason to use VME!

  5. Why VXS? • The most demanding applications (e.g. SPE, radar, sonar, image processing, etc.) require: • High performance, scalable processing power • Very high data transfer capabilities • Extremely low latency • Currently these applications make use of: • VMEbus for “control plane” communication • A proprietary or quasi-standard bus for “data plane” communication • Standard interfaces are now able to address these needs and provide: • Less Contention • Increased Scalability • Less Routing Real Estate • Higher Bandwidth • Low Latency
