70 -- ARRAY PROCESSOR BOARDS SOL N66604-97-R-0150 DUE 112996 POC Contact Elaine Medeiros, Contracting Officer, at (401) 841-2442 X282. Fax number (401) 841-4820. 17. DESCRIPTION: The Naval Undersea Warfare Center Division, Newport, RI, anticipates award of a 100% Small Business Set-aside, Firm Fixed Priced (Supply) contract on a Brand Name Or Equal basis, for the following: 0001 Mercury Computer MCV9-16X8 (or equal), 9U Form Factor 16 Compute Element (CE), Multicomputing Board with a Run Time License per CE, and a one-year hardware warranty, 4 each. 0002 Option I - Two additional Mercury Computer MCV9-16X8 (or equal). 0003 Option II - Two additional Merc ury Computer MCV9-16X8 (or equal). SALIENT CHARACTERISTICS: Hardware. --80 MFLOPS single precision per compute element (CE). --60 MFLOPS double precision per CE. --8 Mbytes of main error correcting memory per CE. --VME bus interface with VME64 capability with 70 MB/s sustained I/O. --On-board DMA controller per CE which transfers data at the maximum rate of the bus(es) being accessed independently of CE processing. --Separate inter-board private bus with a minimum throughput of two 160 MB / sec cha nnels between boards. These channels must support an interrupt priority scheme which allows deterministic transfers. --Hardware and software support to allow a minimum of 64 compute elements units to work simultaneously on a single application (5.12 GFlops) with a minimum aggregate I/O bandwidth of 10 GB /sec (broadcast by a single CE to the other 63 CE's). --160 MBytes / sec CE to memory bandwidth for all tranfers, including transfers to shared memory located on another board. --Configurations which ha ve fewer than 16 compute elements per board and / or power consumption greater than 100 W per board will be subject to added costs when the proposal is technically evaluated. --Compatible with existing front end development system which runs on a SUN 4/260 and under SUN OS 4.1.3. Software Requirements. --VXWorks version 5.1 or greater license(s) and driver. --Run time license for the array processors' operating system and high level languages listed below. --Optimizing C compiler witl1 standard I/O. --Optimizing Scientific algorithm library. --Enhanced Scien tific algorithm library which allows program control of the CE's memory cache and with documented execution times. --An Application Programming Interface (API) which is Graphical Use Interface (GUI) based which supports the native operating system, Unix and VxWorks and includes a source-code debugger with multiprocessor support. --Code profiler. --Assembler, linker, and librarian. Installation Requirements. --Must be installable by WAF technical personnel (typically BS-EE's with a minimum of 2 years hardware /software experience). Maintenance Requirements. --Standard return to factory hardware maintenance must be provided for one year after acceptance. --Turn-around time should not exceed 10 working days. --Standard warrantees covering this period should be noted as a no-cost item. Delivery required 60 days after award of contract. FOB Destination at NUWC Division, Newport. See Note 1. SIC Code 3679, 500 Employees. (0285)
