Thomson-CFS chooses Dolphin SCI technology for its embedded systemsOslo 20 June 2000 Thomson-CSF has selected Dolphin SCI (Scalable Coherent Interface) as an intermodular, interconnection network, for Thomson-CSF's EMTI (Modular Assembly for Information Treatment). EMTI is a new core system targeting new modern combat airplanes like the Mirage 2000-9 and the Rafael. The system is specifically designed to assist the pilot in navigation, mission assignment, and maneuvering.
Dolphin SCI is a real-time interconnection network card supporting high bandwidths of 1.3 Gbytes/s and low latency
around 1.9 us. These characteristics are chosen by vendors like
Thomson-CFS in hard-constrained embedded real-time systems. Dolphin
technology is used as the main interconnect in a 18 processor parallel
computing engine. This network accomplishes the optimal topology for
EMTI at high performance levels in terms of redundancy and failover.
This represents a significant entrance for Dolphin into the COTS
marketplace, providing PMC and PCI network adapters for compact PCI and
VME chassis. Please go to www.dolphinics.com for more information on the
Dolphin technology and products.
