Central HPC

High-performance computers

We provides central high-performance computers solutions, whereby different configurations are possible (e.g., central HPC with exchangeable modules or fully integrated central HPC).

This is how we serve the market trend to further centralize computing power.

Benefits and features

  • Space-saving due to integration of several HPC modules into one box
  • Flexible, modular approach with exchangeable HPC modules
  • Reuse of modules in multiple vehicles without re-design allows faster time-to-market
  • Thermal management by a powerful integrated fluid cooling system
  • Internal PCIe bus for high bandwidth communication between the several HPC modules
  • Integrated DC/DC power supply with redundancy for safety purposes
  • Modular or customer specific external connectors with high-speed communication interfaces and high-current power supply
  • Simplified warranty repairs

Each layer features multiple connector ports, including blue and black multi-pin sockets, as well as cylindrical connectors for power or data transmission. The design emphasizes modularity and high connectivity for advanced vehicle computing systems.
