CSPI is a leading supplier of rugged embedded clusters (FastCluster - 2000 SERIES) predominantly used for deployed DOD applications. FastCluster delivers the stable, scalable, dense, high performance and rugged Open Platform required by DOD programs. CSPI platforms address demanding real-time signal processing and data processing applications such as radar, sonar, SIGINT, and software defined radio. FastCluster offers a selection of single, dual and quad processor blades (VME 6U with P0 form factor) with 'Myrinet on VME' ANSI / VITA 26-1998 standard used as clustering technology. Systems and boards integrate the Motorola PowerPC AltiVec technology with optimal signal processing libraries, Linux and/or VxWorks support and PMC I/O solutions. CSPI offers decades of application experience, product innovation and a proven dedication to its customers.
