The GE Intelligent Platforms DSP281 is
a rugged 2nd generation, COTS
multiprocessor that brings data center
performance and scalability to deployed
defense and aerospace applications.
Designed for size, weight and power
(SWaP) sensitive applications, GE’s high
performance embedded computing (HPEC)
platforms deliver expanded mission
capabilities across a wide range of
manned- and un-manned, airborne,
ground and naval platforms.
More GigaFLOPS, same SWaP
The DSP281 delivers up to 614GFLOPS per
card slot, and increased system bandwidth
with two Intel 4th gen quad Core i7 CPUs,
up to 16GBytes DDR3L main memory per
processor, inter-node DMA over PCIe
™
gen 3
and OFED RDMA InfiniBand or Ethernet data
plane via the latest Mellanox ConnectX
™
-3
network interface controllers (rNICs).
Planned technology insertion
GE launched the DSP28x platform
architecture in 2011 with the DSP280
COTS processor.
Developers can leverage proven software
support from this open architecture now
with a clear path to the new DSP281 Intel
‘Haswell’ platform to capture the latest
micro-architecture/performance boost.
Open System Architecture (OSA)
GE Intelligent Platforms provides a
rugged, scalable solution that builds
on open standards from the wider high
performance computing (HPC) and ‘Big
Data’ communities to exploit widely used
application programing interfaces (APIs),
high performance middlewares, libraries
and productivity tools that greatly reduce
cost of ownership, technical risk and
time-to-deployment.
Sensor-, image- and data processing
GE goes further to fully exploit Intel’s
hyper-threaded multi-core platform with
AXIS Advanced Multiprocessor Integrated
Software. Developers can optimize and
scale applications across GE’s 3U and 6U
OpenVPX HPEC solution sets that include
Ethernet and InfiniBand SFMs, GPGPU
processors, SBCs and I/O modules.
Typical applications
• Back-end sensor and image processing
• Radar, sonar, multi-INT
• Display and mission computing
• Data and network gateways
• InfiniBand HPC clusters
• Distributed Ethernet clusters
