6U OpenVPX HPEC Starter System

The 6U OpenVPX HPEC Starter System is the first member of the HPEC Application Ready Platforms (HARP) product family providing modular open system architecture (MOSA) platforms featuring 2nd and 3rd generation Intel Core i7 processors; CUDA GPGPU processors from NVIDIA; 10 Gigabit Ethernet and PCI Express fabric support; multiple hard disk drives; full user I/O via rear panel; the AXIS Advanced Multiprocessor Integrated Software development environment and 64-bit Linux. 

Included with each system is Abaco Systems' AXIS application development framework, which shortens time-to-solution and reduces risk and cost by providing a user friendly interface to the scalable multiprocessor platform. Application developers can become productive faster by using preconfigured DSP examples and performance libraries to harness the full potential of the underlying hardware.

Development time is also reduced by the availability of support and training from Abaco Systems' recently opened HPEC Center of Excellence, which provides in-depth expertise in supporting customers in the design and testing of advanced, high performance systems.
