The VPX STANDARD and Its Use in Military Applications

Originally Broadcast: July 29, 2009
Overview:
The VITA standard VPX - also known as VITA 46 - provides military VME bus-based systems with support for switched fabrics over a high-speed connector. It promises near-supercomputer performance in small embedded form factors such as 3U that never took off with traditional VME. While VPX systems are already in development for U.S. defense programs there are still many technological issues ...
