SCALEXIO Processing Unit
Product lines for high core performance and high parallel performance
SCALEXIO Processing Units are ideal for high-performance applications with complex models with a large amount of I/O. The unit can be installed in a SCALEXIO rack or used on a desk.
- Two versions available: for high core performance and for high parallel performance
- High-performance host interface
- Multiprocessor support
The desktop version can be used as a stand-alone system on your desk.
The rack-mount version can be installed in a SCALEXIO Customized System.
The SCALEXIO Processing Unit can be connected to a SCALEXIO LabBox to extend the available I/O and bus interfaces.
A SCALEXIO customized system with installed SCALEXIO Processing Unit.
The SCALEXIO Processing Units are based on an industrial PC with an Intel® processor, a real-time operating system, and an IOCNET plug-on card for communication with the I/O and with other real-time processors. A Processing Unit can be equipped with four or eight IOCNET ports. You can use IOCNET ports to connect multiple SCALEXIO Processing Units to set up multiprocessor systems or to couple a DS100x-based system to a SCALEXIO Processing Unit via Gigalink. One of the available processor cores is reserved for system services, the others can be used for computing real-time models.
High Core Performance
The SCALEXIO Processing Unit is ideally suited for all applications that require a strong computation performance on each individual core. Therefore, it is the main Processing Unit for hardware-in-the-loop testing systems that covers all applications, such as vehicle dynamics or electric drive simulations.
Key Benefits
The Processing Unit is tailored for processing sophisticated and complex models with a large amount of I/O. The highest core performance enables the handling of the large data volumes in modern bus communication, such as Ethernet or FlexRay. Using a dedicated core for system services minimizes negative effects on the real-time performance. The high-performance host interface allows for the observation of a large number of signals.
High Parallel Performance
The SCALEXIO Processing Unit with an Intel® XEON® Gold 6208U processor provides 16 cores and is geared specifically toward customers who often have to compute very large simulation models in parallel, for example, AD HIL scenarios or vehicle dynamics simulation with detailed plant models. This enables engineers to use high-fidelity, physically realistic models, increases model accuracy, and makes HIL simulations more realistic.
Key Benefits
The Processing Unit with an Intel® XEON® Gold 6208U processor is ideal for the parallel execution of complex and computationally intensive simulation models. Using a dedicated core for system services minimizes negative effects on the real-time performance. A high-performance host interface allows for a large number of signals to be observed.

The SCALEXIO Hypervisor Extension is based on a kernel-based virtual machine (KVM). It runs the SCALEXIO real-time operating system and virtual machines with standard Linux distributions simultaneously. This lets you integrate Linux real-time and non-real-time applications into the SCALEXIO Processing Unit environment supporting low-latency, high-bandwidth data exchange between the two. The SCALEXIO Hypervisor Extension as an optional extension is the ideal choice to integrate Linux-based modeling and simulation tools and allows for a reuse of existing models, such as Functional Mock-up Units that were developed in an earlier development phase. Virtualization saves hardware installation space and reduces hardware maintenance costs, because no additional external PC hardware is required.
