Matrox Supersight e2 High-performance computing (HPC) platform for computationally-demanding industrial imaging. Benefits Tackle extreme applications with certainty using a high-performance compute cluster platform Harness the full power of today’s multi-core CPU, GPU, and FPGA technology to provide image processing offload and acceleration Eliminate I/O bottlenecks with a unique PCIe® 2.0 switched fabric backplane architecture Directly interface to external process equipment through the integrated Gigabit Ethernet, RS-232/485 and USB 2.0 connectivity Minimize the need for revalidation by utilizing a lifecycle managed platform with consistent long term availability Simplify system integration by using an integrated platform from a single vendor and pre-qualified third-party components Solve applications rather than develop underlying tools by leveraging standard Microsoft® development tools, Matrox Imaging Library (MIL) HPC for imaging Matrox Supersight brings together the latest technologies from multi-core CPUs to GPUs to FPGAs in a single pre-validated high-performance computing (HPC) platform, allowing OEMs to focus on developing applications with cutting-edge performance instead of integrating components. Matrox Supersight is fully supported by Matrox Imaging Library (MIL), an established collection of software tools for developing industrial imaging applications, in order to extract the maximum performance from the platform and deliver a complete solution in a timely manner. Backed by a carefully managed lifecycle and long term availability, the Matrox Supersight is a solid foundation for your next computationally-demanding application. Processing trinity Achieving maximum performance requires using the right technology in the right place within the application. FPGAs show great strength with image pre-processing tasks, general purpose CPUs are ideal for image processing and analysis, and GPUs provide substantial acceleration for image processing primitives. Matrox Supersight enables developers to put together all of these technologies into a complete HPC platform with enough compute density to surpass blade server offerings. Consistent long-term availability Carefully selected components are coupled with strict change control to ensure consistent long-term supply. Longevity of a stable supply lets OEMs maximize return on the original investment without incurring the additional costs associated with repeated validation of constantly-changing mainstream commercial platforms. Distinctive switched fabric A unique PCIe 2.0 backplane provides the switched fabric to group processing elements (CPUs, GPUs and FPGAs) into compute clusters. Utilizing the point-to-point full-duplex nature of PCIe , bus traffic from compute clusters is isolated ensuring optimal performance with increasing accelerator count. Unlike classical segmented backplanes, the Matrox Supersight backplane, through the Distributed MIL (DMIL) communication API, enables segments/clusters to look like a unified system. ® ®

PCIMG 1.3 Edge Connector Easy integration and management Matrox Supersight's high density makes it easy for OEMs to incorporate it into their systems. System health monitors including temperature, voltage and fan speed, in combination with a watchdog timer, allow the Matrox Supersight to detect, report and recover from errors and failures, quickly returning the system to operational status. System Host Board (SHB) With up to twelve 64-bit Intel* cores split between two processors, each directly attached to memory and two Quick Path Interconnects (QPI), the Matrox SHB-5520 is ideally suited...
