Myricom Announces FastStack™ MVA™ Software for Industrial Imaging Applications with Emergent Vision Technologies Ultra-High-Speed CamerasARCADIA, Calif. --(Business Wire)-- Myricom, the industry leader in delivering extreme performance Ethernet solutions for vertical market applications, today announced that its FastStack™ Machine Vision Acceleration (MVA™) software solution, running on Myri-10G 10-Gigabit Ethernet adapters, is shipping with systems from Emergent Vision Technologies, a leader in developing ultra-high-speed cameras for industrial imaging and machine vision applications. Myricom's (News - Alert) innovative architecture of hardware plus software leverages supercomputer-class networking for vertical market applications, now including machine vision. FastStack MVA delivers high bandwidth, lossless camera-frame capture for industry-standard GigE-Vision-enabled devices in machine vision systems. Emergent Vision's cameras are flexible platforms, equipped with on-board processing to handle complex imaging problems quickly and efficiently. Emergent Vision's customers utilize Myricom's FastStack MVA and high performance Myri-10G 10GbE adapters to ensure lossless frame capture including for high-resolution color images at high frame rates. This high-performance frame handling is critical for many different applications including video surveillance, and high-speed industrial imaging and quality control inspection within medical, semiconductor fabrication, food & beverage and automotive industries. Emergent's eSDK and eCapture viewer software have adopted the FastStack MVA Application Programming Interface (API). This integrated solution delivers substantial performance gains enabling a single Myricom dual-port 10GbE adapter to receive application frames from two Emergent cameras, each streaming at 9Gbps in standard GigE Vision pixel formats. At this near-line-rate throughput, frames are not dropped and CPU utilization is extremely low, even if the host servers are low-cost mini-desktop PCs. /p>
"Myricom is excited to partner with Emergent Vision Technologies to deliver extreme 10-Gigabit Ethernet performance with ultra-high-speed cameras for industrial imaging and machine vision applications," said John Hagerman, Vice President of Business Development of Myricom. "Emergent's new cameras combine the latest protocols such as GigE Vision with leading-edge networking technologies such as Myricom's FastStack MVA to provide best-in-industry performance for machine vision applications. Bringing our technology into this new vertical market fits Myricom's strategy of targeting our hardware + software at applications where high performance networking makes a strategic difference for customers." "FastStack MVA is indeed an enabling technology with unparalleled performance benefits," stated John Ilett, President of Emergent Vision Technologies. "Applications can now focus the full power of their systems and CPUs on the primary task of image processing, leaving complicated transport-related aspects of the application to FastStack MVA. Myricom's MVA addresses the shortcomings of using Ethernet for machine vision applications. Leveraging the vast resources of Ethernet will surely make GigE Vision the interface of choice for ultra-high-speed imaging."
