Basic real-time target machine - Mainboard & CPU

Inside, the Basic real-time target machine is equipped with a state-of-the-art industrial-grade mainboard in the ATX form factor. Speedgoat decided against the use of a passive or active bus backplane with a slot-CPU (PICMG SBC) because PCI bus signal integrity can't always be guaranteed by this setup (long bus signal lines). An ATX industrial mainboard doesn't show this potential problem because the PCI slots for the I/O modules are on-board and therefore closer to the chipset and their PCI bridges.

The standard CPU is clocked at 2.13GHz and with its 4MB of 2nd level cache slightly outperforms the fastest Pentium-M (1.8GHz) we use in most of our other systems. Its huge cache can easily hold the xPC Target's kernel image and even large target applications (models) without the need to access the 'slower' RAM during real-time execution. The front side bus is nevertheless clocked at 1066 MHz and the 1MB RAM module at 667 MHz. As an option RAM can be increased up to 4MB.

As options the Basic and the Performance real-time target machines are available with even higher clocked Intel Core 2 Duos offering 2.66GHz or 3.16GHz. This makes them the fastest machines available from Speedgoat and some of the fastest available on the entire market.
