DSP Cards

The ICE DSP cards are developed with a modular interface for both I/O and processing functions.  The processing elements on the PCI card include SHARC DSPs, FPGA based I/O Controllers, and Digital Tuners. These processors may be fed from the the I/O Modules (data acquisition), or from data resident in the host computer (attached processor functions).  For more complex processing, multiple cards may be linked together with point-to-point LVDS nodes, or through the host PCI bus. For software technical information see the ICE Midas option tree.
