The GE-Emerson IC697VRM015 Fiber-Optic Reflective Memory with Interrupts is a high-performance, multidrop VME-to-VME network. Data is transferred by writing to on-board global RAM. The data is automatically sent to the same location in memory on all Reflective Memory boards on the network.
The Reflective Memory concept provides a fast and efficient way of sharing data across distributed computer systems. Reflective Memory allows data to be shared between up to 256 independent systems (nodes) at rates up to 6.2 Mbyte/s. Each Reflective Memory board is configured with 256 Kbyte of on-board SRAM.
