The first of a new line of hybrid embedded boards, the GT3U (GT-3UcPCI) features an Altera Stratix II GX FPGA, a four-DSP-TS201S-TigerSharc processor cluster, and 1Gbyte of DDR2 SDRAM. These processing clusters provide 14.4 GFLOPS of floating-point and 57.5 BOPS of 16-bit fixed-point processing power per board. Providing software support for the device, the vendor’s tools include host-interface libraries, diagnostic utilities, and configuration tools. Also available are the TS-Lib optimized libraries for TigerSharc; a board-support-package for Gedae; and third-party tools supporting the hybrid embedded boards, including Analog Devices’ VisualDSP++ and targets for the Mathworks’ Matlab and Simulink.
