Themis Computer Announces Gigabit Ethernet 650 MHz USPIIe VME Computer Boards

Sun’s UltraSPARC IIi CPU provides the reliability, scalability and highest performance of the industry-leading SPARC architecture for Themis’ new USPIIe-Gb Single-Board Computers

FREMONT, CA August 4, 2004 -- Themis Computer has announced a new family of USPIIe-Gb™ VMEbus single-board computers. The USPIIe-Gb provides users with 550 MHz, 600 MHz, and 650 MHz UltraSPARC® IIi+ RISC processing performance options, and compatibility with the Solaris™ 8 and Solaris 9 operating systems. These high-speed VME 64-bit architecture boards offer users configuration options designed to provide maximum I/O flexibility and performance.

The USPIIe-Gb is a high-performance VMEbus computer board based on Sun® Microsystems’ most advanced 64-bit embedded SPARC® superscalar processors. It demonstrates Themis’ commitment to provide embedded computing markets with the industry’s widest breadth of high performance UltraSPARC-based VME single board computers.

Designed for highest level of configuration flexibility and performance, the USPIIe-Gb integrates the 64-bit 650-MHz UltraSPARC IIi+ processor with a local PCI bus (PMC) peripheral controller slot, and a high performance bridge. Each of the USPIIe-Gb models includes a high performance VME64 interface, a dual Ultra3 160MB/sec SCSI port, two 10/100/1000Base-T and up to two 10/100Base-T Ethernet ports, and up to six RS-232 serial ports. Memory is expandable up to 4-Gbytes using memory mezzanine cards. This high speed VME64 board is available in one-slot and two-slot configurations that offer a wide range of I/O and performance options

The cost-effective USPIIe-Gb/1 single-slot configuration delivers low power dissipation and high flexibility for embedded computing applications. This USPIIe-Gb baseboard configuration provides a single 64-bit PMC slot for local I/O or graphics expansion. Further I/O expansion is available via a 64-bit PCI riser to the second VME slot.

The USPIIe-Gb/2P2 two-slot configuration offers significant I/O expansion options, including two additional PMC slots. This expanded I/O configuration provides AC97 audio, a second 10/100Base-T Ethernet port, two multiprotocol serial ports and a software readable front panel rotary switch. These features make it an ideal embedded processor for data and telecommunications applications.

The USPIIe-Gb/2P3 is a doublewide configuration providing users three additional PMC slots without the other I/O port expansion features of the USPIIe-Gb/2P2 configuration. The USPIIe-Gb may be configured with Themis’ optional TGA-100 or TGA3D+ graphics adaptors for graphics support. The high performance TGA3D+ uses one additional VMEbus slot and provides one additional PMC slot.
