CRS 48.5 Air-Flow-Through VITA 48.5 HPEC Rugged Subsystem

Eletter Product

The CRS 48.5 is a High Performance Embedded Computing (HPEC) Rugged Subsystem. A complete, integrated, tested, ready-to-run subsystem, it uses the most advanced VITA 48.5 compliant air-flow-through cooling to allow the integration of up to eight quad core Intel® Core™ i7 processing nodes, dissipating up to 1,200 watts. This makes it capable of satisfying the most demanding rugged embedded computing requirements such as ISR (intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance) and electronic warfare (EW) in the harshest, most challenging environments.

The CRS 48.5 ATR subsystem features the GE DSP280 multiprocessor with two quad core Intel Core i7 processors. The DSP280 is capable of more than 260 gigaflops peak performance and delivers main memory bandwidth of up to 21GBytes/second per CPU node.

A broad range of highly flexible configurations is available. The CRS 48.5 can be upgraded to take advantage of the even more powerful DSP281 multiprocessor which is based on 4th generation Intel Core i7 ('Haswell') technology. Up to four DSP281s can be configured, for a total peak performance in excess of 2.4 teraflops. Both the DSP280 and DSP281 support a broad range of I/O options including Ethernet interfaces, serial I/O ports, USB ports, DVI ports and audio ports.

Additionally, the CRS 48.5 rugged subsystem takes advantage of the connectivity and performance of GE's switch fabric module (SFM) family such as the GBX460 fully managed 10 Gigabit Ethernet data plane switch or the IBX400 InfiniBand SFM for increased data plane bandwidth with lower latency.
