Shared Memory — Speedgoat I/O modules for shared memory
Introduction
Speedgoat offers support for shared memory for high speed data transfer between
real-time target machines or third-party nodes.
Shared memory technology, also called reflective or replicated memory, is the most
efficient way to transfer data in real-time with low latency across two or more
target machines or third-party nodes. For this each target machine or node must be
equipped with a shared memory I/O module from the same family. Nodes are connected
via fiber-optic cables in various types of network topologies with up to 256
nodes.
The I/O modules support data transfer rates up to 2.5Gbit/s and data throughputs
exceeding 170-210MB/s, compared to 125MB/s using Gigabit Ethernet connections.
