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. $ O }5 ?, U6 P1 j6 `9 U% k 9 u) A* j+ D8 [7 X& c& i& S: b7 SRTDS has a number of different types of cards available including:; A5 k: y- ~- U2 S+ |; H4 S
