NM4 is an advanced ultra-high performance multi-DSP CompactPCI board designed for hard real-time video and image processing, signal processing and artificial neural networks.

Features:

• Four 64-bit NeuroMatrix® NM6403 RISC/DSP processors;
• Scalable performance from 160 up to 46.000 MMAC;
• Vector matrix calculations over elements of variable bit length (Pat. 2131145 RU);
• Optional IndustryPack® (IP) mezzanine modules expansion;
• 24 Mbyte of static memory (SRAM);
• 128 Mbyte of synchronous dynamic memory (SDRAM);
• 1 Mbyte of Flash memory;
• Eight external communication ports with speed up to 20 Mbyte/sec each;
• CompactPCI bus with speed up to 30 Mbyte/sec.

NM4 enables software engineers to use vector-matrix calculations in their own applications most efficiently than ever. NM4 is supplied with strong software development tools including C++ compiler, assembler, debugger, low-level vector matrix libraries and high-level Image Processing Blocks.

NM4 contains four high-performance 64-bit NeuroMatrix® NM6403 RISC/DSP processors. The processors are supported by 4 MB of SRAM on a local 64-bit bus, and 2 MB of SRAM on a global 64-bit bus. 1 MB of Flash memory and 128 MB of shared SDRAM memory permit a read/write access both from processors and from CPCI controller. The NM4 has eight external communication ports hardware compatible with TI TMS320C4x DSP and site for optional IndustryPack® (IP) mezzanine modules expansion. A broad selection of Video/AD/DA/DIO mezzanine modules for Industrial Control, Data Acquisition, Digital, Analog, Serial, Motion Control, Data Storage and Networking is available at RTSoft company.
