Abaco Systems Inc. has unveiled the MAGIC1A 3U-VPX high-performance embedded computing (HPEC) system for military and industrial applications. The MAGIC1A small-form-factor (SFF) embedded computer takes a modular, scalable approach to system design and architecture to deliver graphics and computer processing in a rugged, small, and power-efficient design.

The MAGIC1A serves as an upgrade to its predecessor, the MAGIC1, by delivering increases in power-supply capability, an enhanced removable hard drive, and a more modular approach to system design allowing for upgrades over time.

The rugged computer provides increases in CPU and GPU performance, with the Quad Core Intel Xeon E3-1505M v6 that runs at 3-GHz base frequency to 4-GHz Turbo Boost.

Its Nvidia Pascal Quadro P2000 graphics processing unit offers with 768 cores, 4 GB of GDDR5 memory, and CUDA software support. It delivers as much as 2.3 TFLOPS of floating-point performance.
