Crystal Group FG2 2U GPU server

Equipped with up to four long-life GPUs, Crystal Group’s FG2 2U GPU server brings extreme, scalable compute power for demanding high-density graphics, virtual displays, situational awareness and artificial intelligence into the field.

Designed specifically to handle challenging yet critical inference obstacles, the platform is said to provide ultralow latency and seamless operation, even in the most volatile, mission-critical conditions. The server’s rugged design and durability delivers high tensor core performance allowing users to capture, analyse and prioritise massive amounts of data at the tactical edge, without compromising on speed or security.

The integrated system combines two 3rd Gen Intel Xeon Scalable processors and advanced GPUs in a compact rugged server that tackles workloads at 260 TFLOPS mixed precision using more than 10K CUDA cores and 1280 tensor cores. A dedicated air plenum prevents thermal throttling from the heavy GPU workload. At just under 12.7 kg, the configuration of the system is validated for optimal performance, manageability, security and scalability.

The platform can be configured for temporary or permanent data storage applications — including those requiring FIPS 140-2 certification — with up to six NVMe drives. InfiniBand I/O connectivity provides state-of-the-art, rapid data transfer for backhaul applications.

Suitable for the ever-changing landscape of battlespace management, command and control, intelligence gathering and dissemination, and sensor fusion across complex networks for pinpoint situational awareness, the 2U GPU server takes compute-intensive workloads out of the data centre and into the field for seamless operation in time-sensitive, unpredictable situations.
