For the acceleration programs involving artificial intelligence (AI) and 5G contracts at the Curtiss-Wright Corp. Defense Solutions Division in Ashburn, Virginia, an enhanced version of the PacStar 451-NR system client module is being introduced.
This sturdy computer server is equipped to support high-speed NVMe data storage and the Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI) for remote management. It also features Intel Xeon D-1700 (Ice Lake) processors, available in 4 and 8 core configurations.
By leveraging Curtiss-Wright’s IQ-Core Software, this module can facilitate rapid application deployment at the edge, ensuring access to cutting-edge technology even in disjointed, intermittent, and constrained (DIL) environments.
The advancement in high-performance embedded technology is on the horizon.
With support for Intel’s AVX-512 Vector Neural Network Instructions (VNNI), the Intel Xeon D-1700 processors in the single-slot module deliver a 2x increase in floating-point processing performance.
Curtiss-Wright offers the PacStar 453 and Pacstar 454 NVIDIA GPU enhanced server modules tailored for demanding applications that require GPU-class processing capabilities.
