The Abaco Systems / VMIC PMC-5565PIORC-210000 is a RoHS-compliant Reflective Memory PMC Node Card engineered for deterministic, low-latency data sharing across distributed systems. Operating as a PCI Mezzanine Card, it enables up to 256 independent nodes to exchange data transparently, with writes to onboard memory automatically mirrored across the network. No host processor overhead is required for network operation, making it ideal for real-time applications demanding hardware-transparent synchronization.
