Themis' new TPA-XMC™ is the first in a new family of PrPMC/PrXMC modules based on P.A. Semi's PA6T-1682M™ Power Architecture processor. The TPA-XMC provides powerful dual-core 64-bit processing, flexible high-speed I/O, and low power consumption in a small form factor. The P.A. Semi PWRficient-1682M processor, based on the industry standard 64-bit implementation of the Power Architecture, redefines power, cost, and throughput efficiency in high-performance computing. The unique dual core, system-on-chip architecture, underpinned by 50 patents (filed and pending), delivers high performance at very low power consumption. The PWRficient-1682M includes the ENVOI™ I/O subsystem enabling a configurable mix of Gigabit Ethernet, 10 Gigabit Ethernet and PCI-express. The TPA-XMC features the PWRficient-1682M on a PrPMC/PrXMC form-factor. It delivers higher 32-bit integer and floating point performance than existing PowerPC-based PMC modules, while consuming 30 percent less power. The TPA-XMC also provides the best 64-bit performance/power ratio in the industry. As energy costs continue to climb, Themis' energy efficient TPA-XMC is a practical upgrade for performance hungry, power constrained applications. Themis' TPA-XMC is designed for a wide range of networking, wireless infrastructure, storage and military/aerospace systems that run PowerPC® applications. Eighteen user-configurable SERDES lanes are available on the TPA-XMC to serve a wide range of high-speed requirements. Serdes I/O options include Gigabit and 10 Gigabit Ethernet and PCI-Express. Since the PWRficient-1682M achieves dramatically better performance per watt than competing multigigahertz microprocessors, equipment manufacturers can use the TPA-XMC as the basis for products that run cool and efficiently, yet provide high performance. The TPA-XMC provides support for many new or existing 32 or 64-bit PowerPC applications and Operating Support for Linux® and VxWorks®. • P.A.

This new P.A. Semi Platform Processor is Power Architecture compatible, and runs new or existing 32 or 64-bit PowerPC code. This new device also features VMX (AltiVec™ compatible) SIMD Vector Processing Units and features industry leading processing performance per watt.

The P.A. Semi PA6T-1682M RISC Processor – which combines two 2GHz enhanced Power Architecture CPU Cores, two DDR2 memory controllers, 2MB of L2 cache, and a flexible I/O subsystem – is a versatile building block for high performance computing and embedded applications. PWRficient provides industry-leading performance per watt for multi-gigahertz computational applications and multi-gigabit throughput applications. This is the result of a ground-up design that optimizes power dissipation in all aspects of its novel system architecture which comprises an entire platform on a chip.
