The RTDS Simulator takes advantage of a custom parallel processing hardware architecture assembled in modular units called racks. Each rack contains slot (max. 20) and rail-mounted cards. The racks are installed in one of four sizes of cubicles. The specific composition of an RTDS Simulator depends on the processing and I/O requirements of the intended application. A common communications backplane links all rack mounted cards facilitating information exchange. Each rack's backplane functions independently so that communication of data can be done in parallel thereby reducing communication bottlenecks. , @4 Q9 T9 w3 `2 [) K7 n ; u" o+ H# H* m i' FRTDS has a number of different types of cards available including:" ~: ^1 F' h0 ^1 R: N: j V
