FLY5G6 structure:

The FLY-5G6 VME boards utilized fully the concept of processing clusters. The ADI SHARC processors forming the clusters use the distributed bus scheduling logic and fast link-ports for intensive exchange of data.

The FLY5G6 consists of 6 clusters:

Cluster A:	4 SHARC 21161 (S-AA, S-AB, S-AC, S_AD) processors external memory - 256 MB SDRAM 32 bits bus, throughput - 200 MB/s,
Cluster B:	4 SHARC 21161 (S-BA, S-BB, S-BC, S_BD) processors external memory - 256 MB SDRAM 32 bits bus, throughput - 200 MB/s,
Cluster G:	4 SHARC 21160 (S-GA, S-GB, S-GC, S_GD) processors external memory - 16 MB SBRAM 64 bits bus, throughput - 400 MB/s,
Cluster X:	1 SHARC 21160 (S-X) processor 32 bits bus, throughput - 200 MB/s, Common cluster with daughter-board FLY-D (X - upper)
Cluster Y:	1 SHARC 21160 (S-Y) processor 32 bits bus, throughput - 200 MB/s, Common cluster with daughter-board FLY-D (Y- lower)
Cluster VME:	11 SHARC 21160 (S-VME) processor external memory - 16 MB EEPROM VME bridge (programmable logic)

FLY5G6 board provides inter-cluster communication via parallel ports LINK-PORT and serial ports - SPORT.

Inter-board communication is performed via parallel ports LINK-PORT and serial ports - SPORT over VME-64 backplane (special plane daughter board required)
