Each one of the two OCTEON II CN6880 processors integrates 32 enhanced cnMIPS64 v2 cores with up to 48GHz of 64-bit computing power in a single chip. It also combines over 85 L3-L7 application acceleration engines, virtualization features, 100Gbps of connectivity, and a new real time power optimizer that dynamically adjusts power depending upon the application-level processing requirement.
Customers can use the Kontron 40GbE ATCA packet processor blade AT8242 in combination with the new Kontron 14-slot ATCA platforms OM9141-40G and/or OM9141-10G, featuring market-leading switch management software and up to four times the I/O switching bandwidth than the previous platform generation.
The AT8242 complies to the following standards: PICMG 3.0 R3.0 specification; PICMG 3.1 R1.0 specification, and eventually PICMG 3.1 R2.0; IPMI v2.0, and RoHS. Each OCTEON II is supported by one USB Flash drive (16GB) and 4 DDR3 DIMM sockets each supporting 32GB address range for a total of up to 256GB for both processors.
Each processor supports 2x 20Gbps and 2x 10Gbps for a total of up to 60Gbps to a Ethernet Multilayer Switch that has a bandwidth capacity of up to 320Gbps and is connected to the Fabric Interface with configurable 40/10 GbE links [2x (4x Gb / XAUI / 4x10G-KR / 40G-KR4)], and to the Base Interface with two 1GbE links.
Front panel access includes 2x RS232 – RJ45 ports – one to each OCTEON II processor – and 1x RS232 – RJ45 port to the switch management processor, and 1x 10/100/1000Base-T via RJ45 port to the switch management processor. For rear access there are two available Rear Transition Module units, each with different connector configurations.
