6U VPX Dual Intel Xeon D and FPGA Single Board Computer
The new VPX 6U Digital Signal Processor (DSP) Board IC-INT-VPX6d is the result of the experience and expertise gained by Interface Concept in the High Performance Embedded Computing (HPEC) field.
Taking advantages of the Intel’s latest 14nm Xeon enhancements and the intercommunication capabilities provided by the OpenVPX standard, the IC-INT-VPX6d is the current most comprehensive dual Intel® processors design for applications requiring the highest processing capabilities together with “controlled” power consumption.
In the same spirit, IC offers the users with its own boot loader the security of always being able to support them as expected.
