Concurrent Technologies releases their Fabric Interconnect Networking Software (FIN-S, pronounced ‘finesse’) to complement their range of Single Board Computers and Fabric Switch products employing high speed serial backplane interconnect fabrics i.e. VPX, VXS, AMC product ranges. FIN-S provides a high performance, low latency, communications mechanism for multiple host boards to intercommunicate across high speed serial fabrics i.e. PCIe, SRIO and 10GigE.
The FIN-S software offers a portable and scalable communications software stack for inter-board communication. This is achieved by abstracting the physical communications channel (backplane fabric) and providing a standard API for inter-board communication. FIN-S provides the choice of two communications interfaces – use of the ubiquitous TCP/IP sockets interface suited to high performance embedded computing or a message based Direct IPC Library interface suited to highly embedded applications. Both provide feature-rich, high throughput, low-latency solutions incorporating DMA and Multicast capability. FIN-S is supported on Windows, Linux and VxWorks operating systems.
