Raptor High-Performance Processing Platform

The Raptor Processing Platform is an entirely programmable architecture based on the Raptor PCIe card and a high-performance commercial server. It leverages the Raptor software suite of circuit-switched and packet-switched products adapted to this state-of-the art computing and FPGA technology.

 

The Raptor architecture provides large FPGA resources for the high-speed line rate processing and multi-core, multi-threaded computing for C/C++ applications.

 

Features

  • Powerful Raptor series processing integrated into a single, low-cost multipurpose commercial server
    • Leverages both Circuit Raptor and Packet Raptor firmware/software applications
    • Provides demux, grooming, survey, selection, and follow-on processing in a single 1U chassis
    • Supports converged signal processing (future)
    • Architecture enables using multiple cores and threading to scale processing needs
    • Maximizes server resource utilization while saving power, space, and maintenance costs
  • Based on the Raptor PCIe accelerator card
    • Supports concatenated STM-N inputs
    • One or two PCIe cards can be installed per server
    • Accepts one pair per PCIe card STM-16/4/1/GigE optical or electrical GigE
    • State-of-the-art reprogrammable FPGA technology for demultiplexer and high-capacity selection at line rate
    • Programmable architecture
    • Visual LED indicators for signal input status, power, and application health
