Parvus, the military-focused arm of the industrial-computer maker Eurotech Group, launched a high-performance computer (HPC) for “extreme military, aerospace and industrial” applications Wednesday.

The Intel Xeon-based embedded DuraHPC 5-1 has everything for extreme conditions: an ingress-protected aluminum chassis, hermetically sealed connectors, shock- and vibration-resistant solid-state disk (SSD) storage and an optional integrated liquid-cooling system.

Without the cooling system, the product’s size is 1U. Add cooling and it becomes a 2U set-up, according to Salt Lake City, Utah-based Parvus.

Besides being custom-built for extreme conditions, the system is designed for data-intensive tactical applications, such as intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance, digital-signal processing, simulation, energy exploration, situation awareness, vehicle electronics and radar-signal processing.

All processors are connected through Intel’s high-bandwidth Quick Path Interconnect. Each central processing unit (CPU) is connected to three channels of DDR3 memory.

It provides low-latency InfiniBand interconnectivity or 10Gb Ethernet as an option. This gives each unit parallel-computing capabilities if used as part of a cluster.

The electronics are tightly coupled to an aluminum cooling plate that extracts heat by circulating water through sealed micro-channels and connectors.
