MVME51005E Single Board Computer Installation and Use (6806800A38D) 67
Functional Description
4.1 Introduction
This chapter provides a functional description for the MVME5100 Single Board Computer. The
MVME5100 is a high-performance product featuring PowerPlus II architecture with a choice of
PowerPC processors—either the MPC7410 with AltiVec™ technology for algorithmic intensive
computations or the low-power MPC750.
The MVME5100 incorporates a highly optimized PCI interface and memory controller enabling
up to 582MB memory read bandwidth and 640MB burst write bandwidth.
The optimization of the memory bus is as important as optimization of the system bus in order
to achieve maximum system performance. The MVME5100’s advanced PowerPlus II
Architecture supports full PCI throughput of 264MB without starving the CPU of its memory.
Additional features of the MVME5100 include dual Ethernet ports, dual serial ports and up to
17MB of Flash.
