Automation real-time target machine - Performance
This real-time target machines gets its processing power from an Intel Pentium-M processor. Pentium-M CPUs are ideal for real-time applications like for rapid-prototyping based on Simulink® and xPC Target. xPC Target benchmarks show that this CPU keeps up easily with the Intel Pentium 4 family of CPUs clocked at much higher rates.
The machine comes standard with a Celeron M clocked at 1.0GHz. A Pentium-M CPU running at 1.4GHz or at 1.8GHz can be installed as an option. All CPUs are sourced from Intel's Embedded Program which guarantees long term supply. For I/O expansion through PMC modules the 32-bit/33MHz PCI bus is used. This significantly reduces latency when software drivers like xPC Target driver blocks access the I/O modules.
The standard CPU comes with 512MB of 2nd level cache. This is enough to hold the xPC Target's kernel image and even larger target applications (models) without the need to access the 'slower' RAM during real-time execution. If required nevertheless, the RAM can be increased up to 2GB.
