Introduction; Features Summary; Table 4-1. Mvme5100 General Features - Motorola AltiVec MVME5100 Series Installation & Use Manual

Introduction

This chapter provides a functional description for the MVME5100 Single
Board Computer. The MVME5100 is a high-performance product
featuring Motorola's PowerPlus II architecture with a choice of PowerPC
processors—either Motorola's MPC7400 with AltiVec™ technology for
algorithmic intensive computations or the low-power MPC750.
The MVME5100 incorporates a highly optimized PCI interface and
memory controller enabling up to 582MB memory read bandwidth and
640MB burst write bandwidth.
The optimization of the memory bus is as important as optimization of the
system bus in order to achieve maximum system performance. The
MVME5100's advanced PowerPlus II Architecture supports full PCI
throughput of 264MB without starving the CPU of its memory.
Additional features of the MVME5100 include dual Ethernet ports, dual
serial ports, and up to 17MB of Flash.
