Extreme processing performance

 

Give your application the most powerful embedded general processing power available. Powered by a 22-core Intel Xeon Scalable processor with Deep Learning Boost, which extends Intel’s Advanced Vector Extensions-512 (AVX-512), accelerates inference applications and other big data processing and AI applications. New embedded Vector Neural Network Instructions (VNNI) accelerators speed up dense computations, characteristic of convolutional neural networks (CNNs) and deep neural networks (DNNs), delivering up to a 14x improvement in inference performance compared to first-generation scalable processors.

Embedded Composable Data Center

HDS6605 data center server blades are the cornerstone of a truly composable high performance embedded edge computing (HPEEC) solution. When combined with other EnsembleSeries high-performance compute modules, including the latest data center GPU coprocessors, and interconnected with wideband, low-latency PCIe switch fabrics, your application leverages the power of a data center. These big data processing solutions can be tailored to your specific platform and deployed in the harshest and most SWaP-constrained environments.

Affordable, Interoperable and Upgradable

Deploy faster by building your next HPEEC processing solution with EnsembleSeries server blades. The HDS6605 is based on open architecture standards including Sensor Open System Architecture (SOSA) for interoperability, scalability and reuse. Drive affordability, performance and lower your program risk by using an architecture that evolves at the speed of technology, follows Intel’s technology roadmap and leverages commercial data center hardware, software and IP.

The Anatomy of a Rugged Blade Server

EnsembleSeries server blades use proven liquid and air cooling, rugged packaging and high-speed in-system switch fabric interconnect technologies that are open systems compliant and have a technology readiness level of nine (TRL-9). The HDS6605, available with 100 Gbps in-chassis fabrics and MOTS+ technologies, is well-suited for systems that require the utmost in reliable processing performance and protections for extreme environment operation.

BUILT FOR TODAY, READY FOR TOMORROW

By combining our OpenVPX multiprocessing and SBC modules with a complementary portfolio of storage, I/O, networking, GPUs, and software, we create customizable, rugged embedded subsystems that securely operate at the tactical edge.
