Flex RIO PXIe-7972R, Target to Host Continuous Transfer Speed,Maximum?

What is a reasonable fastest continuous DMA Target  to Host data transfer rate I can run?

Depends on chassis, controller, and operating system configuration.

 

With a 7976 I've seen 900 MB/sec but this was limited by the disk.  The 7972 is similar.

 

The shipping example "High Throughput Streaming.lvproj" is able to run tests up to 2 GB/sec.

 

Do you have your hardware?  You can run this example.

Thanks for the response....I'll take a look at "High Throughput Streaming.lvproj" once I have my hardware setup.

 

At this point of my design I am trying to figure out what is a reasonable data rate

Hardware this will run on is 

  • PXIe-1095, 18-Slot 3U PXI Express Chassis
  • PXIe-8880, Xeon 8-core 2.3 GHz controller, Red Hat
  •  6 PXIe-7972R, FlexRIO FPGA Module 
  • PXIe-8240, 40 Gb Ethernet Interface Module

I need to stream from one of the FlexRIOs back to the controller (which then sends it to the Ethernet Module)

 

If I don't compress I need to pass 32bit words at 20MHz......while other bus operations are happening on the other 5 FlexRIO
