VPX6-1959

Rugged, high performance 6U OpenVPX Intel Core i7 Broadwell Single Board Computer (SBC) excels in harsh environments, making it ideal for architecting high performance computing and processing systems.

Overview

The VPX6-1959 Single Board Computer is a rugged, high performance 6U OpenVPX unit that combines Intel’s powerful Core i7 processor with the power and flexibility of the VPX platform’s high speed fabric interconnects. The VPX6-1959 supports Intel’s 5th Generation Core i7 processor. Utilizing this advanced quad-core CPU and Curtiss-Wright’s proven ruggedization technology, the VPX6-1959 excels in harsh environments, making it ideal for architecting high performance computing and processing systems utilizing DSP, GPGPU and FPGA modules, and/or multiple SBC processors.

With a high speed, dual-channel DDR3 memory subsystem connected directly to the processor supporting up to 32 GB SDRAM, the VPX6-1959 Single Board Computer is able to maximize the performance of the multiple processing and GPU cores and AVX2 floating-point processing units of the Core i7 processor.

The VPX6-1959 includes dual mezzanine sites – two XMC or one PMC and one XMC module – supporting a wide variety of mezzanine daughter cards.
The VPX6-1959 supports a host of standard I/O including four independent Gigabit Ethernet ports, multiple RS-232, RS- 422, SATA and USB ports, discrete DIO, DVI and dual-mode DisplayPort and VGA, and analog audio ports.

A wide range of popular operating systems are supported, including Linux (Fedora and RHEL), VxWorks, Microsoft Windows Embedded Standard and LynxOS.
