Overview: The SPIRIT-40 AT/ISA is a dual C40 board designed for advanced parallel-processing topologies such as rings, lattices, trees, or hypercubes. Six bi-directional 20 MByte/sec Comm Ports with individual DMA controllers, provide high I/O bandwidth capability. One set of Comm Ports are interconnected to the C40, the others are brought to individual connectors. By using a passive back plane ISA system, eight SPIRIT-40 cards and a control CPU can provide up to 800 MFLOPS capability in a desktop package. The board is expandable from a base memory configuration of 1024 kBytes of zero-wait-state SRAM up to 16 MBytes. The SPIRIT-40 is an ideal platform for real-time signal processing and application acceleration. Integrated solutions include a 10-MHz A/D and a frame grabber. A variety of tools are available for application development on the SPIRIT-40. Comprehensive software support includes the highly-optimized SPIRIT run-time library, several operating systems for parallel processing, a high-level language debugger, and general-purpose and optimized DSP libraries. The host has the capability to reset, interrupt, enable/disable, and read SPIRIT-40 status. SPIRIT-40 operations can be controlled from the host system via a control register. Similarly, the SPIRIT-40 can interrupt the host via one of four interrupt levels.
