SBCs From Abaco deliver 100GbE performance
Two rugged computers featuring the recently introduced Intel Xeon D-2700 processor have been announced by Abaco Systems.
The 3U and 6U Intel-based OpenVPX computers are aligned to the Sensor Open Systems Architecture (SOSA) standard while the Intel Xeon D-2700 processor delivers a powerful 100Gb Ethernet (100GbE) capability.
The HPC2812 is a 6U VPX high performance computer (HPC) and the SBC3612D is a VPX single board computer (SBC). They are Abaco’s first 100GbE computationally intensive 6U and 3U SOSA-aligned boards. They are intended for use in 6U and 3U form factors for high performance, mission-ready systems.
The computers are deployable across a wide range of applications from commercial and industrial projects to transportation and infrastructure. They are also deployable on aerospace and defence applications including ISR (intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance), radar and EO/IR (electro-optical / infra red). According to the company, they deliver increased compute density in fewer physical slots, to meet demands for single slot compute density and remedies to throughput bottlenecks.
The HPC2812 and SBC3612D plug-in cards (PIC) include the Intel Xeon D-2700 processor (formerly known as Ice Lake) to form the multi-processing compute engine core of Abaco’s OpenVPX high performance and 100GbE-capable product portfolio.
The 6U HPC2812 multiprocessor PIC is designed with dual (20 cores per node) Xeon D-2700 CPUs, per node 100GbE with RDMA data plane and dual PCIe Gen4 expansion planes (P2 and P5). The computer also includes 128Gbyte DDR4 memory per node.
The 3U SBC3612D compute intensive PIC (plug-in card) offers a 16-core Xeon D-2700 CPU, 100GbEwith RDMA data plane and PCIe Gen4 expansion plane (x8 or x16 widths).
