1 Introduction
RGS-8805GC is a rugged HPC server powered by the AMD EPYC™7003 series
"MILAN" processor with up to 64-core/ 128-thread unparalleled computing power and
512GB memory capacity. Utilizing a unique partitioned enclosure design, it provides a
highly effective airflow for CPU and other components to guarantee a reliable -25°C to
60°C operation for field deployment.
To fuel versatile advanced edge AI applications, RGS-8805GC can host one high-end
NVIDIA® RTX A6000 or A4500 GPU which provides up to 38.7 TFLOPS FP32 or 309.7
TFLOPS tensor performance. It comes with a unique enclosure design that creates a
sealed tunnel to efficiently dissipate the heat generated from the RTX GPU.
RGS-8805GC offers an exceptional balance of CPU and GPU for modern edge AI
applications, such as autonomous driving, DL-based vision inspection, and intelligent
video analytics.
RGS-8805GC has two 10G Ethernet ports for high-speed data transmission that are
backward compatible with 5GBASE-T and 2.5GBASE-T to work with NBASE-T industrial
cameras. It also has four Gigabit PoE+ and four USB 3.1 Gen1 ports for connecting
additional devices, and four easy-swappable 2.5" HDD trays for data storage. The
system provides two x16 PCIe slots for installing additional I/O cards such as frame
grabber or GMSL image capture cards. As one of few HPC servers that accept
wide-range DC input, it can adapt to versatile deployment environments.
RGS-8805GC addresses the challenge of deploying a CPU/ GPU server to the field,
where installation space, operating temperature, and power supply are some of the most
commonly faced issues. A rugged HPC system that can be installed outside of an
air-conditioned environment and capable of operating in harsh environments opens the
door to new AI-assisted edge computing for more advanced telecom infrastructure,
factory automation, ADAS, and V2X applications.
