During the next few years there will be a great deal of innovation surrounding VMEbus, significantly improving performance while protecting existing investment. This seminar brings Shlomo Pri-Tal, an acknowledged VME industry guru, to provide details of these changes. He will present a new PCI-X to VMEbus bridge ASIC, an implementation of the 2eSST standard that can provide an 8-times increase in data throughput. This presentation will also outline a major initiative to create an open standard for switched serial interconnects on the VMEbus. Finally, you will see a roadmap of further VME technology enhancements planned for implementation over the next 5 years.
