Beckhoff: TwinCAT Core Boost for Greater Computing Performance in Real Time

April 24, 2024

TwinCAT 3 consistently supports modern multi-core processor technology. The multi-thread capability makes it possible to distribute the application across several cores. Supplemented by TwinCAT Core Boost, the computing performance of individual real-time or user-mode cores can now also be increased by up to 50% to maximize system performance and optimize it for specific requirements.

With TwinCAT Core Boost, the clock frequency of the processor cores can be configured individually and as required, so they no longer all have to be clocked at the same rate. The clock rate can be set for each core for real-time transmission and user-mode applications. It is also possible to operate individual cores continuously and in real time in what is known as Turbo mode. This offers a number of application advantages:

  • up to 50% more computing power for one or more processor cores
  • possibility to use more cost-effective CPUs

The permissible current consumption and temperature of each processor core (and of the overall system) is monitored by TwinCAT Core Boost, ensuring reliable operation even when Turbo mode is used. TwinCAT Core Boost can be used with all industrial PCs with Intel Core i processors in the 11th generation and up.
