Capable of delivering up to 1.4TFLOPs from a 6U chassis slot, the IPN252 joins the recently announced DSP282 multiprocessor, SBC627 single board computer and the GBX460 10Gbit Ethernet switch. Between them, says Abaco, engineers can create systems capable of responding to the most exacting embedded computing challenges.
“Feedback from our customers consistently tells us that, in order to solve the kind of embedded computing problems they’re facing that will allow them to deliver optimum solutions to the armed forces, they need as much performance as we can deliver,” said Chris Lever, VP, Product Management at Abaco Systems. “The IPN252 is our innovative response to those needs, leveraging our close relationships with both Intel and NVIDIA to create a platform that is unmatched in the industry.”
Alongside processor technologies from Intel and NVIDIA, the IPN252 draws on Abaco’s innovative cooling techniques. It also benefits from AXIS, Abaco’s range of development tools that reduce risk and time to deployment.
The Intel Core i7 CPU and NVIDIA Maxwell GPU are connected via a 16 lane PCI Express Gen 3 switch, which also provides a 16 lane PCI Express Gen 3 port to the VPX expansion plane, and an 8 lane PCI Express Gen 3 port to a dual channel 10Gbit Ethernet and InfiniBand NIC. The PCI Express switch also provides a Gen 3 x8 port to an XMC site.
Multiple operating system support is provided, including Windows and Linux.
