NVIDIA Tegra 2 integrates a 1 GHz dual-core ARM Cortex A9 and an ultra-low power GeForce GPU onto the same chip, making it the most powerful ARM based system-on-chip available today. Trim-Slice is designed to unleash the full potential of NVIDIA Tegra 2 said Irad Stavi, Director of Business Development at CompuLab. Trim-Slice feeds the Tegra 2 with all the ingredients for supporting high performance CPU: 1 GB RAM, SATA SSD and dual SDHC for storage and GbE networking. Users can experience the outstanding multimedia capabilities of the NVIDIA Tegra 2 through full-HD HDMI, dual-head display and 5.1 channels digital audio.



CompuLab demonstrated many times over its expertise in power-efficient system design. said Igor Vaisbein, Trim-Slice Project Manager at CompuLab. The ultra-low power of NVIDIA Tegra 2 enabled designing Trim-Slice into a miniature form-factor with unprecedentedly low-power envelope while providing rich multimedia capabilities and PC-like user experience.



High performance, low-power, rich I/O and miniature rugged design, position Trim-Slice as an attractive solution for a variety of applications - media players, IPTV, infotainment systems, signage, gaming or even as a desktop replacement to name a few.



Trim-Slice differs from most other ARM based solutions by being a commercially available open platform for software developers.



The software eco-system on ARM is evolving quickly said Mike Rapoport, Director of SW Development at CompuLab. The open-source community and ISVs need an ARM development platform that is versatile, open and powerful. Trim-Slice meets these requirements by incorporating PC-like performance, memory, storage, display, I/O and networking in an open platform that allows installation of any supported OS and application. CompuLab will offer more than one OS working on Trim-Slice out-of-the-box.



CompuLab will cooperate with ISVs that select Trim-Slice as a reference platform.
