  • Page 7: Chapter 1 - Introduction

    This section describes the architecture of the XVME-655 processor module. CPU Chip The XVME-655 supports 75 MHz, 100 MHz, 133 MHz, 166 MHz, and 200 MHz Pentium processors, in addition to 200 MHz and 233 MHz MMX Pentium processors. The Pentium processor features a supescalar architecture with two pipelined integer units and a pipelined floating point unit which allows two instructions to be executed per clock cycle.

  • Page 8: Pci Local Bus Interface

    PIO to standard. VMEbus Interface The XVME-655 uses the PCI local bus to interface to the VMEbus. The VMEbus interface supports full DMA to/from the VMEbus, integral FIFOs for posted writes, block mode transfers, and read-modify-write operations. The interface contains four master and four slave images that can be programmed in a variety of modes to allow the VMEbus to be mapped into the XVME-655 local memory.
