VME-5550 Reflective Memory interface allows data to be shared between up to 16 independent VMEbus systems (nodes) at rates up to 20 Mbyte/s. Each Reflective Memory board may be configured with 256 Kbyte to 4 Mbyte of on-board SDRAM. The local SDRAM provides fast Read access times to stored data. Writes are stored in local SDRAM and broadcast over a high-speed parallel data bus 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.
