New TRENTON System Host Board Delivers 80 Lanes of PCI Express
Atlanta, GA [May 14, 2015] – The HEP8225 HDEC Series system host board is the first in a series of next generation single
board computers to deliver eighty (80) PCI Express 3.0 interfaces to an HDEC Series® backplane using proven, high-density
PCIe interconnect technology. Trenton Systems' new HEP8225 HDEC Series system host board builds upon the basic
goodness of PICMG® 1.3 SHB's faster system MTTRs, expanded support for industry standard PCI Express plug-in cards,
and built-in system longevity. The HEP8225 accomplishes this by increasing the base number of PCIe lanes between an SHB
and a backplane from 20 lanes to 80 lanes. This HDEC Series 300% PCIe expansion over the previous PICMG 1.3
architecture significantly increases overall system bandwidth while lowering data latencies.
The HEP8225’s new PCIe link expansion capability; along with additional system I/O capability, is provided by two, long-life
Intel® Xeon® E5-2600 v3 series processors (Haswell-EP), and the board's Intel® C226 platform controller hub. The 22nm
Intel® Micro-Architecture design (Haswell-EP) doubles the number of execution threads and processing capability compared
to previous Intel® processors. Trenton's HEP8225 HDEC Series system host board also features:
