VME Forever
Given the extensive deployed base of programs that rely on VME architecture, and given the often multi-decade nature of those deployments; given the familiarity with, and trust in, VME that exists widely within prime contractors, systems integrators and OEMs; and given VME’s inherent advantages for certain applications – it is clear that VME will continue to be a significant force for many years to come.

3U power supply combines XMC mezzanine slot expansion and 6-port PCIe switch
WASHINGTON. At the annual Association of the United States Army (AUSA) meeting, Curtiss-Wright’s Defense Solutions division introduced the 3U embedded power supply that also delivers system I/O expansion without increasing slot count. The PSU3-THOR power supply combines dual XMC mezzanine slot expansion and a 6-port PCI Express (PCIe) Gen2 switch into a 3U VPX slot unit.

High-Speed, Real-Time Recording Systems (Third Edition)
In today's world of high-speed A/D converters operating in the gigahertz range, real-time signal recording has become a challenging task that requires specialized hardware and intelligent application software. When designing a real-time recorder capable of streaming sustained data to disk at rates of up to 3 GB/sec and higher, the system developer has to consider the limitations presented by the recorder's operating and file systems, the limitations of disk drive technology, the hardware interfaces, and the RAID controller technology.
