Mixtile Blade 3 is an affordable, power-efficient SBC built around the next-generation, 8 nm Rockchip RK3588 processor. Perfect for rapid development, AI-application prototyping, and edge computing, it allows you to cluster multiple Mixtile Blade 3 SBCs to scale your deployment.
Out-of-the-box, Mixtile Blade 3 is a stackable computer with an onboard PCIe Gen3 edge connector that allows you to integrate several high-performance hardware platforms into a small form factor. Working together, that hardware delivers a network speed of up to 20 Gb/s and a memory bandwidth of up to 136 GB/s. A cluster of Mixtile Blade 3s in a 19-inch 2U chassis provides up to 600 processor cores and 1320 GHz of computing power while drawing less than 1500 W of power.
The leading-edge technology in Mixtile Blade 3 offers powerful, energy-efficient computational support for a diverse range of applications. Packed with potential, Mixtile Blade 3 tightly integrates two quad-core ARM processors and a separate NEON co-processor with support for powerful embedded-hardware engines that optimize performance for high-end, distributed edge computing. It combines high-performance computing for advanced computer vision and multimedia connectivity through the dynamic integration of hardware and software.
Mixtile Blade 3 ships with a customized Debian Linux distribution preloaded so that you can take full advantage of the board’s many hardware features right out of the box. It also comes with source code and SDKs, e.g., Buildroot, and Yocto, which greatly simplify development. Specially designed for cluster applications, Mixtile Blade 3’s TCP/IP over PCIe solution offers performance properties beyond what can be achieved with a traditional network interconnected system, even without modifying or recompiling the existed software.
As a user-friendly way to explore real-time edge processing in small- to medium-scale deployments, Mixtile Blade 3 is a highly optimized tool for leveraging the opportunities presented by the Industry 5.0 revolution. And, thanks in part to a built-in HDMI interface and on-board support for the encoding and decoding of high-quality video formats, it is equally well suited to a broad range of other applications—from personal computing to image processing to video streaming. Finally, access to shared storage accommodates parallel processing that greatly increases the scalability of projects built around this platform.
