Modular high-end Micro-ATX carrier for more sustainable and ultra-scalable COM-HPC based system designs
congatec – a leading vendor of embedded and edge computing technology – enters the high-end industrial workstation and desktop client market by introducing its first modular Micro-ATX compliant carrier board with COM-HPC interface. The board is designed for embedded long-term availability of at least seven years, which eliminates the design risks, revision requirements and supply chain uncertainties of standard or semi-industrial-grade motherboards that are usually only deliverable for three to five years. As it is processor socket and vendor independent, the board can be equipped with any high-end Computer-on-Module available in COM-HPC Client Size A, B or C, making OEM designs even more flexible and sustainable. Impressive scalability across the…

An advance into the world of mixed-critical real-time servers
congatec – a leading vendor of embedded and edge computing technology – extends its Intel Xeon D-2700 processor based Server-on-Module portfolio by launching five new modules in the compact (160x160mm) COM-HPC Server Size D performance class. The launch underlines the massive industry demand for edge server performance in a small form factor that is rugged and outdoor capable. It also takes the Intel Xeon D-2700 processors, with up to 20 cores even deeper into the realm of real-time demanding mixed-critical applications. Compared to the already available larger (200x160mm) COM-HPC Server Size E modules, the number of supported DRAM modules is halved from 8 to 4 bars. Nevertheless, impressive 512 GB of…

Highly powerful, yet passively cooled
congatec – a leading vendor of embedded and edge computing technology – introduces seven less power-hungry variants of the 12th Generation Intel Core IOTG mobile processors (formerly codenamed Alder Lake) on 7 new COM-HPC and COM Express Computer-on-Modules each. Featuring the new Intel hybrid architecture with its mix of performance cores (P-cores) and efficient cores (E‑cores), the BGA-solderable processor variants consume just 15 to 28 W base power, which enables engineers to utilize them in fully passively cooled embedded and edge computing platforms. This eliminates the need for costly cooling options and improves the ruggedness and MTBF of system designs. The lower energy consumption is mainly achieved by reducing the number…

Functional safe computing platforms for mixed-critical applications
At embedded world Hall 5/Booth 135, congatec – a leading vendor of embedded and edge computing technology – announced that it is making massive investments in functional safety (FuSa). Functionally safe embedded computing platforms are needed in many new applications ranging from industrial machinery and collaborative robotics to autonomous vehicles on shopfloors, rails, and roads. For all of these applications there is also a trend towards hardware consolidation that leads to the need to operate mixed-critical applications on functionally safe multicore embedded systems to manage multiple safety and non-safety critical tasks in parallel. Embedded x86 multicore platforms deliver a solid basis for such applications, which is why congatec now qualifies…
