Advantech, Irvine, Calif., launched the 4U, dual-node, short-depth, industrial chassis ACP-4D00, designed for high-end machine automation applications that require two computers in one piece of equipment for workload sharing or parallel computing.
The innovative dual-node architecture allows users to install two half-size slot SBCs in two sub-systems and integrate them in a compact 4U cage. Each node supports a CPU card with desktop Core i processor, 6-slot backplane and up to 350W power supply, so the computer node can be used for either traditional control applications or for high-end CPU/GPU computing.
