In fact, much effort went towards the development of highly integrated VME Single Board Computers (SBCs) and auxiliary local IO bus expansion capabilities, all to remove data traffic from its most fundamental resource — the bus itself.

PART I Janusz Zalewski Dept. of Software Engineering, Florida Gulf Coast University Fort Myers, FL 33965, USA [email protected], http://www.fgcu.edu/zalewski/ Abstract: The objective of this paper is to present a historical overview of design choices for data acquisition and control systems, from the first developments in CAMAC, through the evolution of their designs operating in VMEbus, Firewire and USB, to the latest developments concerning distributed systems using, in particular, wireless protocols and time-triggered architecture. First part of the overview is focused on connectivity aspects, including buses and interconnects, as well as their standardization. More sophisticated designs and a number of challenges are addressed in the second part, among them: bus performance, bus safety and security, and others.

It is thus perfectly suited for data-intensive applications which require high computing- power. The CPU card is equipped with the Intel® third-generation Core i7 processor running at up to 3.3 GHz maximum turbo frequency and offering the latest multi- core processor architecture from Intel® with full 64-bit support. The processor frequency can be stepped down via the BIOS to lower power consumption and make the board more suitable for high temperatures. The G22 supports the Intel® Active Management technology which makes it possible to access the board via the network even when it is in soft-off or standby state. For system security, a Trusted Platform Module is available on request. The memory configuration of the G22 includes a state-of-the-art fast DDR3 DRAM which is soldered to the board to guarantee optimum shock and vibration resistance. An mSATA disk connected via a SATA channel and a microSD™ card device which is connected via a USB interface offer nearly unlimited space for user applications. The board delivers an excellent graphics performance. Two DisplayPort® interfaces are accessible at the board front. Using an external adapter two HDMI or two DVI ports can also be realized.
