ATCA is an industry standard specification developed by the PICMG for nextgeneration CG communications equipment. PICMG is an association of numerous companies and organizations, which collaboratively develop open standards for highperformance telecommunications, military, industrial, and general-purpose embedded computing applications. PICMG’s original motto was to extend the PCI standard to non-desktop applications. Some of the major standard families developed by PICMG comprise CompactPCI, AdvancedTCA, MicroTCA, AdvancedMC, CompactPCI Serial,COM Express, SHB Express, and HPM.The market is growing rapidly because of the increased adoption of ATCA CPU blades in numerous applications in the communication and network infrastructure sector, the transportation, military, and aerospace sector, and the industrial and medical equipment sector. These sectors are currently employing multi-core processor technology such as 3 or 4 core, dual core, 5 to 8 core, and more than 8 core processors.
