Abaco Systems PCIE-5565RC-200000 PCI Express (PCIe) Reflective Memory (RFM) Node Interface Card

The Abaco Systems PCIE-5565RC-200000 is a PCI Express (PCIe) Reflective Memory (RFM) node interface card designed for high-speed, low-latency, deterministic data sharing between multiple systems. This card facilitates the creation of an optical ring-based, ultra high-speed shared memory network, allowing for real-time data exchange irrespective of bus structures or operating systems. The Reflective Memory technology ensures that data written to the memory in one node is automatically broadcast to all other nodes on the network, with minimal to no host processor involvement. This transparency in data transfer eliminates I/O overhead and optimizes host computer and bus performance for high data throughput.
