The VME-5588 Reflective Memory interface allows data to be shared between up to 256 independent systems (nodes) at rates up to 29.5 Mbyte/s. Each Reflective Memory board may be configured with 256 Kbyte to 16 Mbyte of on-board SRAM. The local SRAM provides fast Read access times to stored data. Writes are stored in local SRAM and broadcast over a high-speed data path to other Reflective Memory nodes. The transfer of data between nodes is software transparent, so no I/O overhead is required. Transmit and Receive FIFOs buffer data during peak data rates to optimize CPU and bus performance to maintain high data throughput.
