1. System Introduction
AAD-C622AX is an in vehicle server which designed for autonomous vehicle
developer for collecting data sets, improving self driving algorithm and build up high
denition map.
This in vehicle server feature with Intel 2nd Gen. Xeon SP processor, a server
graded CPU, that can support multi-core with hyper threading. Thanks to Xeon SP
processor, this system can support three GPU card for intensive graphic processing,
image recognition, and even articial intelligence.
In addition to powerful high performance CPU and mutiple GPU cards, this system
supports two 10GbE and two GbE ports and four swappable SSDs to have collected
data set transferred to data center quicker and easier. More important, AAD-C622AX
is dedicated to operate in vehicle environment, not only anti-shock/vibration design
to ensure the system works well on the road, it also can endure -20~60°C without
problem. AAD-C622AX is the best PC server for autonomous vehicle.
