Intel Releases Xeon D Processor Family

Intel has just unveiled a new range of Xeon brand processors. The new processor family, known as Xeon D, are a series of system-on-chip server processors designed specifically for blade and high density server systems.

Intel rarely announce new integrated platforms, and the Xeon D has caused a bit of excitement in the industry. Hailed as the previously unoccupied middle ground between Xeon E3 and Atom SoCs, the Xeon D takes the best bits of both and slots neatly into the market for the low-end server market, prioritising efficiency and networking.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________

Xeon D, also known as Broadwell-DE, combines up to eight high performance Broadwell desktop cores and the PCH onto a single die, reducing both down to 14 nm for power consumption/die area. Dual integrated 10 Gigabit Ethernet ports natively support XAUI/KX4/KR to further enhance I/O capabilities, while reducing SWaP-C concerns. 24 PCI Express (PCIe) 3.0 lanes, eight PCIe 2.0 lanes, six SATA 6 Gb/s ports, four USB 3.0 ports, and four USB 2.0 ports provide many options for system expansion, connectivity, and storage. In addition to multiple 10 Gigabit Ethernet ports, the Xeon® D employs a Non-Transparent Bridge for PCIe to enable advanced connectivity options for multiprocessor systems.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________ 

Alongside the announcement from Intel, Extreme Engineering Solutions, Inc. (X-ES) has introduced the XPedite7670 3U OpenVPX™ REDI single board computer module and its 6U VPX companion, the XCalibur4640, both based on the Intel® Xeon® D (formerly Broadwell-DE) processor family.

The XPedite7670 is a high-performance, 3U OpenVPX™ REDI, single board computer with support for up to 8 GB of DDR3-1600 ECC SDRAM.

PCIe/104 OneBank - What's It All About?

The PC/104 Consortium has announced the latest version of the PCI/104-Express and PCIe/104 Specification which offers a new option called OneBank.

The PCIe/104 OneBank uses a smaller bus connector which is compatible to the full size PCIe/104 connector currently in use. It allows designers to stack boards using a complementary format, freeing up valuable space for additional components with the removal of the PCI bus from the PCB.

The OneBank connector has evolved from the standard PCIe/104 connector with the removal of two of the three "banks", resulting in a 52-pin connector as opposed to the full-size 156-pin connector. The OneBank connector will plug straight into bank 1 of the standard PCIe/104 connector. The signals of the OneBank are the same as found on the first bank of the standard PCIe/104 bus, making them plug-in compatible.

As with all of the stackable buses adopted by the PC/104 Consortium, the PCIe/104 OneBank connector can be combined with PC/104, EPIC, and EBX form factors, as well as a number of other form factors not supported by the Consortium, providing easy and inexpensive I/O expansion.

VersaLogic has recently introduced the Bengal — a rugged new PCIe/104 Single Board Computer (SBC). Based on Intel's highly anticipated “Bay Trail” System-on-Chip (SoC), Bengal combines high performance, low power consumption, enhanced security and small size for an unbeatable combination in most applications.

Designed and tested for industrial temperature (-40° to +85°C) operation the Bengal meets MIL-STD-202G specifications to withstand high impact and vibration, and is covered by VersaLogic's 5-year product warranty and 5+ year availability guarantee.

Particle Accelleration Controls Ghostly Activity..... In Theory!?

As All Hallows Eve approaches, vampires, witches and things-that-go-bump-in-the-night are at the forefront of every kid's (and us bigger kids) imaginations.  A crucifix on the door and a garlic rosary might scare off old Dracula, but what about the ghosts and ghouls that aren't so frightened of a humble vegetable? Who ya gonna call? 

Ghostbusters use a specialized set of equipment to aid in the capture and containment of ghosts.

The Proton Pack, designed by Dr. Egon Spengler, is an unlicensed, man-portable, nuclear particle accelerator system, that is used to create a particle beam composed of protons which polarizes with the negatively charged energy of a ghost, allowing it to be held in the stream while active. The beam allows a Ghostbuster to contain and hold "negatively charged ectoplasmic entities". The stream "lassos" the entity until it can be contained in a trap. The trap is a box with a hinged lid, remote-controlled by a simple pedal switch, attached to the end of the box by a long cable. When a ghost is brought close to the trap in the particle beam, the ghost trap is activated, its lid opens, and a force field draws the ghost inside.

In order to understand the technology behind the proton pack, you need to understand the basics of quantum physics...... At its most basic (and let’s face it, that’s about our level) - all materials in the universe are composed of atoms, with each atom consisting of three individual subatomic particles: protons, (positive) neutrons, (neutral) and electrons (negative). It’s pretty tough to split an atom, but it can be done.....

As the proton pack is initially powered, the booster begins to provide heavily-charged power to the system; accentuators just below the booster cylinder provide amplification, and alignment of power for use in particle collision within the cyclotron. (FYI - A cyclotron is a type of particle accelerator in which charged particles accelerate outwards from the centre along a spiral path. You probably knew that already…).

As particles are fed into the cyclotron, they are guided via alternating magnetic currents through the spiral, increasing particle speed exponentially. At the point of ideal speed, the atoms are ‘smashed’, breaking them down into their individual parts. As the loose particles are guided through an electromagnetic channel to the neutrona wand, they go through a filter, removing the negatively-charged electrons and neutrally charged neutrons. As the neutrona wand is fired, the stream of positively-charged protons is released from the wand tip, and the “negatively charged ectoplasmic entity”, more commonly called ‘a ghost’, is caught and trapped.

"Theres something very important I forgot to tell you! Don't cross the streams... It would be bad!"

Of course, this is all just theoretical. As are Ectoplasmic Entities. Or are they?

It doesn’t matter - I’m with Ray Parker Jr. on this one.

I Ain’t Afraid of No Ghost!!
