The June 2010 Sarsen Technology Update is now online. This months's newsletter features the VersaLogic Komodo Intel® Core™ 2 Duo Embedded Single Board Computer, Extreme Engineering Solutions XCalibur4331 - Intel® Core™i7 Processor-Based 6U Conduction-Cooled or Air-Cooled VME Module, the EVOC Rugged 15" LCD Portable Computer with Intel® Pentium / Core 2 Duo / Core 2 Quad Platform and BittWare's ATLANTiS FrameWork that simplifies FPGA Integration and Implementation.
I guess you would have to question this device's heritage.
It’s pretty clear to me that given the number of PCI Express plug-in cards available on the market today that PCI Express has won the high-bandwidth, serial interconnect wars of a few years ago. No doubt, there are specific application niches were InfiniBand, RapidIO or HyperTransport work the best.

Maybe you disagree, but next time you’re searching on-line or in your local Fry’s for a plug-in board let me know how many non-PCI Express high-bandwidth, serial interconnect boards you manage to find. I’m guessing that the number will be very small. Read more...
