DS1006 Processor Kit
Computing power for complex real-time models
The DS1006 Processor Board is dSPACE’s flagship for high-end real-time applications. The DS1006 is designed for calculating complex, precisely detailed simulation models that require enormous computing power. The processing power and I/O capacity can be boosted even further by linking up to 20 DS1006 Processor Boards in a multiprocessor system.
At A Glance
Application Areas
The DS1006 Processor Board is one of the processor boards that form the heart of dSPACE’s PHS hardware. It is our flagship for very complex, large, computation-intensive models – like the ones found in powertrain and virtual vehicle simulations. In such simulations, the DS1006 provides the computing power for the real-time system and also functions as an interface to the I/O boards and the host PC. It can be directly connected to all dSPACE I/O boards via PHS bus.
Key Benefits
The DS1006 Processor Board is based on a quad-core AMD Opteron™ x86 processor with 2.8 GHz clock frequency. Thus, it always delivers a high level of processing power, even for large-scale real-time applications. If required, you can add an Ethernet I/O interface for Gigabit data streaming or a flash memory for automatic, host-independent booting of the real-time applications.
Multicore Processor for More Computing Power
You can set up a multiprocessor system by using the individual cores of the multicore processor, and assign the I/O boards easily by graphical programming via RTI-MP. With the possibility for parallel computing and a high performance data exchange between the cores, the DS1006 multicore board speeds up all your applications.
Multiprocessor Setup
If you need even more performance, you can build a multiprocessor system by connecting several DS1006 boards via an additional optical interface. Synchronization between the boards is guaranteed, since interrupts can be sent to other processor boards via hardware, with minimal latencies.
