DESCRIPTION
A COMPUTER MODULE IN A SINGLE CARD
Field of the Invention
The present invention relates a computer module in a single card compatible with VITA 46.0 6U VPX standard designed to realize the functions of image and signal processing, control, data transfer and general purpose systems management in military naval and land platforms.
Background of the Invention
In the applications present in the previous art, signal processing, graphics rendering and running mission software tasks in military platforms are carried out on different modules/cards. The software running on the general purpose processor card provided at least one on the unit manages the data transfer between the graphic processing card, signal processing card and the other control cards and determines the inputs/outputs of the system. Furthermore, in order to digitize the analog audio or image data coming to the system from outside and to transfer the system outputs in analog format, interface cards taking on this duty are added to the system.
In the previous art, electronic cards used in large numbers and interface cards used for communicating these cards in the background effect the cost and credibility of the system negatively as well as making the data flow and management in the system difficult. The systems comprising many cards demand significantly higher volume, therefore the fields of use for such systems are limited. Additionally, the power consumed in systems comprised of many cards being higher than the functionally equivalent compact systems create disadvantage for such systems. In such systems, realizing applications requiring high capacity and process capacity is not possible since the delays between cards is high and the sufficient data bus width cannot be provided.
Summary of the Invention
The objective of the present invention is to provide a computer module in a single card compatible with VITA 46.0 6U VPX standard designed to realize the functions of image and signal processing, control, data transfer and general purpose systems management in military naval and land platforms.
A further objective of the present invention is to provide a computer module in a single card wherein the additional functions are easily be adapted without changing design with expansion interface compatible with VITA 42.0 XMC Standard.
