With TwinCAT Core Boost, Beckhoff is supercharging its proven TwinCAT 3 runtime and robust multicore processing power with turbo mode. TwinCAT Core Boost increases the computing performance of individual real-time or user-mode cores by up to 50%. Now, systems can achieve maximum performance, adapt to unique application requirements, and possibly use lower cost CPUs while tapping into extra performance for specific tasks as needed.
TwinCAT software’s multi-thread capabilities have long enabled applications to be distributed across multiple cores. TwinCAT Core Boost takes that to the next level by enabling users to configure the clock frequency of individual processor cores. The clock rate per core can be defined for real-time transmission and user-mode applications. Individual cores can operate permanently and in real-time using this “turbo mode.”
TwinCAT Core Boost monitors the permitted power consumption and temperature of each processor core (and of the overall system) to ensure reliable operation even when turbo mode is used. TwinCAT Core Boost currently supports all Beckhoff Industrial PCs with Intel ® Core™ I processors from the 11th generation onwards.
