The DSP-8901 is designed with 20 TI TMS320C6678 DSPs. With its twenty onboard TMS320C6678 DSPs at 1.0 GHz core frequency, the DSP-8901 provides 160 cores of processing
power to reach the higher levels of performance density needed to build the highest capacity wireless media gateways. The DSP-8901 significantly reduces overall system power dissipation and system cost, and frees up valuable slots in gateway elements for additional subscriber capacity and throughput. The DSP-8901 includes a high-performance Freescale QorIQ P2020 processor. The powerful Broadcom BCM56321 switch terminates the 10 gigabit Ethernet fabric connections and distributes traffic to the twenty DSPs. The DSP-8901
offers unrivaled packet and media processing capabilities.
For increasing demand in high end video conferencing, broadcasting and telepresence fields, the DSP-8901 ATCA blade also offers unrivaled image processing performance for compression and decompression, image analysis, filtering and format conversion.
