Multicore processors contain two or more cores, or computing engines, in one physical package. These processors can simultaneously execute multiple computing tasks, which is advantageous in multitasking environments such as Windows XP, where several applications run simultaneously. Two applications, such as NI LabVIEW and Microsoft Excel, can each execute on a separate core at the same time, which improves the overall system performance. Multithreaded applications, such as LabVIEW, take full advantage of multicore processors as they automatically separate their tasks into independent threads. A multicore processor can simultaneously execute these threads. Rack-Mount 1U 2.4 GHz Dual-/Quad-Core Controllers for PXI and PXI Express Deterministic Performance with Real-Time OS and NI 8353 RT National Instruments offers a version of the NI 8353 rack-mount controller, called the NI 8353 RT, that works with the LabVIEW Real-Time operating system. With this development platform, you can build realtime measurement and control applications with high determinism. You develop your LabVIEW application with the LabVIEW Real-Time Module on Windows and download the program to your NI 8353 RT real-time controller via Ethernet. The embedded code executes on a real-time OS, so you can use powerful and flexible LabVIEW development tools to build reliable, real-time solutions. RAID Configurations Redundant array of independent disk (RAID) data storage schemes divide and/or replicate data among multiple hard drives. They are used to provide increased data reliability and/or increased I/O performance. The NI 8352 and NI 8353 (Windows version) support both RAID 0 (stripped) and RAID 1 (mirrored) configurations with multiple SATA II hard drives. A RAID 0 configuration increases the rate at which a computer can write data to and read data from disk by evenly distributing data among multiple hard drives. This is beneficial in applications that require high-speed data streaming to/from disk. The NI 8352 and NI 8353 are available with factory-configured RAID 0 configurations. Refer to the table for information on hard-drive configurations for these controllers.

You can populate this slot with a MXI-Express or MXI-4 card to create a software-transparent link, which requires no programming, to a PXI or PXI Express chassis. Refer to the PXI advisor for all possible configurations at ni.com/pxiadvisor. Applications and Acoustic Noise The NI 8352 and NI 8353 are designed to maximize performance in automated and manufacturing test applications. They are optimized purely for performance, and, like other server-class computers, use high-speed cooling fans, which are relatively noisy. Memory Options The NI 8352 and NI 8353 have four DIMM sockets (dual-channel) for high-bandwidth DDR2 SDRAM. The following memory options are available for both of these controllers: • 1 GB standard (2 x 512 MB DIMMs, two sockets empty) • 2 GB upgrade – 3 GB total (2 x 512 MB and 2 x 1 GB DIMMs) • 4 GB upgrade – 4 GB total (4 x 1 GB DIMMs) MXI-4 for PXI 78 MB/s BW, copper ........................................................778640-03 78 MB/s BW, fiber ............................................................778641-10 Step 4.
