What other functions could benefit from CompactPCI?
CompactPCI can benefit all applications requiring very high data transfer rates. Data communication interfaces such as ATM and broadband ISDN are good examples. In the field of high energy physics research, very fast multi-channel data acquisition cards will benefit from CompactPCI. Many of the most exciting applications are probably yet to be invented, but if history is any indication, the sophistication of systems will increase to use all available computing bandwidth that CompactPCI computers have to offer.
