MCEVALHPC2-7448: High Performance Computing Platform II (HPC II)

Overview

The High Performance Computing Platform II (HPC II) is a high-performance server reference design which is optimized for high speed throughput between the processor and the memory, disk drive and Ethernet port subsystems.

HPC II is designed to the micro-ATX chassis, allowing it to be used in a standard ATX/Micro-ATX chassis.

In addition, advanced thermal management demonstrates the low power consumption and minimal cooling requirements needed for NXP^® Semiconductors built on Power Architecture technology.
