High Performance Embedded Computing

High performance embedded computing

High performance embedded computing brings significant processing capability into systems with strict limits on size, power and thermal behaviour.

TOPIC approaches these challenges at system level, balancing processing resources, memory, interfaces and power consumption around the requirements of the application.

Combining processing technologies

Different workloads require different computing resources. 

CPUs provide flexibility for control and application software, while FPGA logic can accelerate parallel and time-critical operations.

TOPIC combines processors, FPGA technology and, where relevant, GPU or AI acceleration to distribute workloads efficiently across the system.

Keeping performance in balance

More computing power also increases demands on memory bandwidth, connectivity, power delivery and cooling. 

These elements can limit system performance if they are considered too late.

TOPIC develops high-density boards where signal integrity, power management and thermal design are addressed alongside processing performance and high-speed interconnects.

Building scalable computing platforms

Reliable high performance embedded computing requires the complete architecture to scale with the workload. TOPIC’s System-on-Module platforms combine multi-core processors, programmable logic, memory and high-speed interfaces within compact embedded platforms.

By combining hardware, FPGA and embedded software expertise, TOPIC creates computing architectures that deliver high performance without losing control of power, bandwidth or system complexity.
