Mercury Computer Systems - PowerBlock 50 The world's smallest, high-performance embedded computer has made a big impression on one of the leading COTS publications in the military and aerospace industries.Mercury's PowerBlock 50 has received the Editor's Choice Award from Military Embedded Systems magazine for its maximum horsepower in a minimum-sized system envelope. Chris Ciufo, OpenSystems Publishing (OSP) Group Editorial Director and Editor of Military Embedded Systems magazine, selected the PowerBlock 50 from hundreds of new product introductions that ranged from hardware and software to connectors and cable assemblies. Said Chris Ciufo: 'I applaud Mercury Computer Systems for creating what is a unique product that solves a growing dilemma in defense systems: maximum horsepower in a minimum-sized system envelope. The PowerBlock 50 appears to be the next in a long line of Mercury-differentiated multiprocessing products aimed at high-reliability systems.' Click here for

In undisclosed negotiations, Universal Switching Corporation (USC) announced on April 16, 2007 that it has acquired all product lines and assets of switch module and system manufacturer, Matrix Systems Corporation (MSC) located in Calabasas CA. Founded in 1969 by Jack Singleton, MSC pioneered many advances in the manufacture of high-quality, standard and modified standard modular switching products. Many of the standard products began as a special build to meet specific customer needs. USC will support the current product line from their new facilities in Burbank CA. VP of Marketing at USC, Norton Alderson, indicated that "the acquisition of the MSC product line broadens the global client base for USC as well as adding strength the MSC line of products". Alderson outlines that "USC is planning to continue a good portion of the MSC line though some products will be discontinued, or available only to reorder clients". The continuing portion of the MSC product line will eventually be integrated into the USC offering. The original MSC core product, the 7000 Series, and its newer counterpart, the 70000 Series offer configurations that are unique and competitive in both the switching and relay industries with much of the product designed around high reliability reed-switch technology. The 70000 Series were designed to install into the standard control chassis, Model 11600. USC
will support "in-warranty" products shipped by MSC since
April 16th, 2006, and will continue to support most "out-of-warranty" issues
on an individual basis. For assistance with pre-sales support or reorders
of MSC products, clients should contact sales@uswi.com. For post sales
support with any existing MSC products, clients should contact the
USC support department directly at support@uswi.com.

Invitation to view Mercury Webcast: Mapping Multi-function Radar Algorithms Across a VPX-REDI System Mecury has a number of excellent webcasts available
on its website, including one that has been recently posted: Mapping
Multi-function Radar Algorithms Across a VPX-REDI System. Advanced
multi-function radar systems present enormous challenges, as they must
simultaneously provide multi-mode search, multi-target tracking, synthetic
aperture radar (SAR) imaging, and space time adaptive processing (STAP).
These systems will be deployed in some of the harshest and most demanding
environmental conditions inside unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), manned
aircraft, and ship- and ground-based radar systems. This webcast will
begin by examining the data processing functions needed to support
multi-function radar applications. Then three example algorithms will
be presented as efficient ways to manage that processing. Lastly, those
algorithms will be mapped across three different types of processors
- PowerPC, PowerQUICC, and FPGAs - in a rugged, deployable multiprocessor
adhering to the new VPX-REDI (VITA 46/48) standards. The focus of the
webcast is on providing practical, real-world approaches to addressing
complex system issues.

SouthTech Systems will exhibit at the SimTecT 2006 Simulation Conference and Exhibition being held in Melbourne Monday 29 May - Thursday 1 June 2006, at the Melbourne Convention Centre. The major theme of SimTecT 2006 is "Simulation - Challenges and Opportunities for a complex and networked world". Joey Sevin, Director of Business Development, Radar Business Segment, Mercury Computer Systems, will present a paper at SimTecT on applications for the revolutionary new Cell Technology that offers dramatically improved performance for graphic-intensive workloads and computationally intensive applications. The Cell Processor was developed originally for Sony's PS3 to solve the requirements of that most demanding consumer appliance, game consoles -- so drop by the SouthTech stand for a chance to win a PSP and find out how game consoles have led to tools that offer a major leap in processing performance and density. |

Mercury Computer Systems and IBM's Engineering & Technology Services are collaborating to develop solutions based on the Cell Broadband Engine™ (BE) processor that offer dramatically improved performance for graphic-intensive workloads and computationally intensive applications. Developed originally for Sony's PS3 to solve the requirements of that most demanding consumer appliance, game consoles, the Cell architecture of heterogeneous high-performance processing elements on a common interconnect has a structure that is designed for distributed processing. The Cell Architecture is a breakthrough technology that offers a major leap in processing performance and density. Mercury's white paper "Cell Architecture: Disruptive Technology for Processing C4ISR Data" describes battlefield imagery exploitation applications running on Cell Broadband Engine™ (BE) processors, and describes how processing performance is expected to improve by a factor of 10 or better. Click here to read the Mercury white paper "Cell Architecture: Disruptive Technology for Processing C4ISR Data". Mercury also has a range of information available on the Cell Processor, including a webcast and more product information.

Mercury has partnered with IBM to integrate the Cell microprocessor technology to build new breakthrough computer systems for data-intensive applications. The Cell processor, developed by IBM, Toshiba and Sony Group (originally for the PlayStation 3), is a breakthrough architectural design featuring eight synergistic processing elements plus a Power Architecture(TM)-based core that provides unmatched performance levels in many computationally intense applications. The Cell processor has peak performance in excess of 200 GFLOPS -- which equates to 200 billion floating-point operations per second -- as measured during initial hardware testing. Mercury has released four systems using Cell-Based technology, including the PowerBlock 200 system , which delivers 200GFLOPS within a rugged ATR chassis about the size of a toaster, and the Cell Technology Evaluation System, which offers developers the opportunity to evaluate and test Cell technology and gives them early access to the programming model for the Cell Broadband Engine (TM) processor. Using the evaluation system, developers can start evaluating Cell technology for future deployment and then use the same integrated system for application prototype development.
