VI-grade, a developer of automotive simulation systems, has launched AutoHawk Extreme, the highest performance configuration of its XiL simulation platform. Designed for real-time detailed multibody simulations, AutoHawk Extreme is powered by Concurrent Real-Time technology to deliver high speed and efficiency while maintaining a quiet, liquid-cooled design that allows easy integration into office environments.
AutoHawk Extreme is equipped with eight performance cores running at 5.0 GHz, 12 efficiency cores at 4.0 GHz, and DDR5 RAM clocked at 6,000 MHz. VI-grade says the system surpasses existing AutoHawk configurations for real-time execution of simulations that require up to seven high-frequency performance cores for computationally intensive tasks, while still using the 12 efficiency cores for ancillary, less demanding models.
This makes AutoHawk Extreme suitable for high-fidelity, real-time vehicle dynamics and multi-body simulations, delivering computational power through overclocked CPUs and high-speed memory for computing-heavy, low-latency applications. A key feature of AutoHawk Extreme is its liquid cooling system, which prevents thermal throttling, while maintaining system stability, performance, and low noise levels.
The system is also designed with multiple PCIe slots, allowing users to customise and expand their setup with additional I/O boards. AutoHawk Extreme is also fully compatible with PCIe expansion chassis, enabling flexibility for future requirements.
“We are excited to introduce AutoHawk Extreme to the market,” commented Anish Anthony, vice president of technology at Concurrent Real-Time. “Whether used as a standalone high-performance simulation station or in combination with VI-grade’s driving simulators, AutoHawk Extreme offers a versatile and efficient solution for engineers and simulation teams working in diverse development settings. It is designed to meet the increasing demands of modern automotive development, enabling precise and reliable simulation for a wide range of applications.”
