AdvancedTCA multicomputer systems with 40-gigabit InfiniBand and Intel Xeon processors introduced by CSPI

Oct. 14, 2010
BILLERICA, Mass., 14 Oct. 2010. The CSP Inc. MultiComputer Division (CSPI) in Billerica, Mass., is introducing the 4000 Series mobile scalable computers that target high-performance embedded computing (HPEC) applications where NEBS compliance meets critical environmental requirements for defense and commercial mobile applications. The FastCluster 4000 Series AdvancedTCA (ATCA) platforms from CSPI (NASDAQ: CSPI) integrate the established PICMG 3.1 Ethernet ATCA architecture, Intel Xeon processors, and 40-gigabit quad data rate (QDR) InfiniBand scalable interconnect.

The FastCluster 4000 Series AdvancedTCA (ATCA) platforms from CSPI (NASDAQ: CSPI) integrate the established PICMG 3.1 Ethernet ATCA architecture, Intel Xeon processors, and 40-gigabit quad data rate (QDR) InfiniBand scalable interconnect. Initial systems support as many as 12 Intel Xeon processing blades with 40-gigabit QDR InfiniBand rear transition modules (RTM) and two 10 Gigabit Ethernet switch blades.

The scalable InfiniBand fabric supports a multi-chassis architecture to deliver the low power, low latency, and high bandwidth necessary for deployed HPEC mobile platforms. These systems have the ability to scale processing, I/O and storage capacity supporting thousands of Intel MultiCore nodes with terabytes of memory, hundreds of Advanced Mezzanine Card (AMC) modules for real-time I/O, and multiple high density 10-gigabit ATCA iSCSI edge storage blades.
