Micro Memory's rugged MM-71xx CoSine FPGA PMC Compute Nodes series brings Xilinx V-4 FPGAs to 64-bit, 66-MHz PCI Mezzanine Card (PMC) sites.

The boards are available with 89k to 156k FPGA slices with up to 600 Xtreme DSP slices. The main FPGA has 1 Gbyte of DDR2 memory. Micro Memory's Cosine IP, a preconfigured system-on-a-chip (SoC), supports the board. With Cosine IP, developers can add custom logic without the need to configure things like DMA support. Pricing starts at $16,000.

I earned a Bachelor of Electrical Engineering at the Georgia Institute of Technology and a Masters in Computer Science from Rutgers University. I still do a bit of programming using everything from C and C++ to Rust and Ada/SPARK. I do a bit of PHP programming for Drupal websites. I have posted a few Drupal modules.

I still get a hand on software and electronic hardware. Some of this can be found on our Kit Close-Up video series. You can also see me on many of our TechXchange Talk videos. I am interested in a range of projects from robotics to artificial intelligence.
