The HDS6601 is a high-density server signal and data processing engine harnessing two of the latest generations of server-class Sandy Bridge octal-core Intel Xeon processor introduced by Mercury Computer Systems Inc., and it is used for high-end embedded real-time applications.

Mercury claims that its server-class HDS6601 demonstrates levels of performance for both large and small 6U OpenVPX systems. Small subsystems are configured with one or two HDS6601 modules for up to 32 cores. Larger systems of up to 10 HDS6601 modules can be configured with up to 160 cores. The main features of the device include: (1)6U OpenVPX compliant; (2) Total of 460 GFLOPS peak in a single slot; (3) Up to 32 GB of DDR3-1600 SDRAM with 102 GB/sec peak performance; (4) Advanced system management subsystem; (5) Mercury MultiCore Plus software infrastructure support and so on.

The larger systems can be augmented with multiple Mercury GPGPU modules and high-performance switch modules to fill a standard 19" rack mountable OpenVPX chassis and meet extreme computing needs.

Utilizing the new Intel Xeon processor E5-2648L with Intel Advanced Vector Extensions (Intel AVX), the HDS6601 is a 16-core Intel architecture-based module. It delivers nearly half a teraflop in a single standard OpenVPX slot.
