Emerson Technical Sales personnel visit
- Emerson purchased the division of Motorolla that supplied VME single board processors.
- They continue to design new PPC boards and have just introduced an Intel-based board (Core i7).
- All boards run Linux and VxWorks. The Intel-based boards can run Windows (sorry, Beni...).
- Dave Abbott wants to move everyone to Intel-based boards, although VxWorks will be around for a while.
- Dave will purchase Emerson, GE-Fanuc and other boards, test them, and make recommendations to the halls.
- Full order from JLab for 12 GeV will be large, perhaps as many as 150 boards (maybe more!).
- Order will involve staged delivery and payment, back-end loaded as much as possible.
- Hall D needs around 70 boards, maybe more for spares and test setups.
- Hall D owns two GE-Fanuc boards; one is at IU and Dave has the other (for software development).
- Embedded processors use less power, but are less powerful.
- Emerson expects seven year processor family lifetime from Intel.
- New boards have lots of on-board memory, can boot from local memory instead of network if desired.
