Abaco Systems announced the IPN254, a rugged fourth generation 6U OpenVPX/SOSA aligned heterogeneous multiprocessor solution that leverages Abaco’s partnership relationships. It demonstrates Abaco’s commitment to continuing innovation with the latest technology and performance standards, while aligning with relevant industry standards.
This innovative combination of the latest NVIDIA® Turing TU106 embedded/chip-down GPGPU with the latest generation Intel® Xeon® E CPU yields maximum processing performance in a rugged, single 6U VPX slot. Additionally, the IPN254 utilises Mellanox ConnectX-5, facilitating dual 40 GigE KR4 data plane fat-pipes for increased bandwidth across the system.
The IPN254 addresses the customer requirement for data plane bandwidth, as well as increased application- and mission data security. It increases overall system performance to contribute to customers’ success in data-intensive digital signal processing applications including intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR), high performance airborne radar, synthetic aperture radar, and ground moving target indicators.
Technical Overview
The IPN254 features the NVIDIA® Turing TU106 embedded/chip-down GPGPU (6.4 TFLOPS peak performance) and the Intel Xeon E CPU with 64GB DDR4 with ECC, 32 MB Flash, and up to 256 GB SSD. It includes the Xilinx Zynq Ultrascale+ FPGA with its advanced security features, and delivers a multi-fabric architecture on the data, control, and expansion planes. The IPN254 provides support for the latest DisplayPort™ 1.4 outputs capable of 4K @ 120 Hz or 5K @ 60 Hz, in line with the latest display standards. It also provides a dual 40 GbE data plane, plus dual 10GbE ports on the control plane, and 16 lanes of PCIe on the expansion plane enabling the IPN254 to move unprecedented amounts of data within the IPN254 itself as well as around the wider ecosystem of which it is part. The IPN254 is available as a SOSA aligned offering.
