Back to Coreco Frame Grabbers

The MDSP is a TMS320C44 based multi-DSP processing board for the PCI bus. Available with up to four DSPs, the MDSP can have up to 24 MB of zero wait-state memory. The MDSP features true asynchronous 4-port shared memory of 8 KB used specifically for multiprocessing environments. A programmable interconnection topology enhances the performance of the algorithms specific to the customer's applications. An optional MDSP-I/O module provides an external interface via IP, TIM-40 and customer specific modules. The MDSP-I/O can have up to 32 MB of additional global memory for storage hungry applications. Coreco Imaging also provides turnkey systems. Development Tools Coreco Imaging's MDSP is supported by a complete set of development tools for custom DSP code development including: C compilers, Linkers, Libraries, Debugging Tools and Operating Systems for single and multiprocessing environments. Comprehensive software tools such as 3L's Parallel C, Jovian's Pegasus and Spectron's SPOX ensure quick time-to-market and reduced development costs. Coreco Imaging also provides drivers for DOS, Windows NT and Windows 3.x.
