COM-HPC
COM-HPC® (Computer on Module for High Performance Computing), as an independent new module standard, offers an evolutionary further development of the proven COM Express® standard for power-hungry applications. With COM-HPC/Client, COM-HPC/Server and COM-HPC/Mini, there are three module types.
COM-HPC/Client is designed for use in high-end embedded client products that require one or more displays, with low-, medium-, and very high-bandwidth I/O, powerful CPUs, and small size.
COM-HPC/Server covers the requirements when used in high-end headless (non-display) embedded servers that require high CPU capacity, large memory capacity, and many high-bandwidth I/O options – up to multiple 10 Gbps or 25 Gbps Ethernet ports and 65 PCIe lanes with speeds up to PCIe Gen 5.
COM-HPC/Mini with dimensions of 95 mm x 70 mm extends the COM-HPC standard to a more compact format. It offers a high-speed connector with 400 pins, supports two 10 GbE interfaces, 16x PCIe lanes up to PCIe Gen5 and 4 USB 4 interfaces, including Thunderbolt and DisplayPort Alternate Mode.
As a specialized and independent system integrator, we accompany you from product selection to series production and are personally available for both your technical and commercial needs during the product lifecycle and beyond.
