In the past two years, Artificial Intelligence (AI) has made giant leaps in computing power and speed in its models. In a significant leap forward for edge computing, GigaIO, in partnership with SourceCode, has launched 'Gryf'—the first-ever AI supercomputer designed to fit within the confines of airline cabin space. This innovative product was announced at GEOINT 2024, held in Kissimmee, Florida, marking a new era in portable, high-performance computing solutions for tactical environments.

The Gryf system is a marvel of modern engineering, co-designed by GigaIO and SourceCode to meet the rigorous demands of field deployments where quick, reliable access to powerful computing resources is critical. This compact solution stands out not only for its portability but also for its exceptional ability to scale up to the performance levels of a full-fledged field supercomputer.

At the heart of Gryf’s capabilities is GigaIO’s revolutionary FabreX™ AI memory fabric. This technology allows for the disaggregation and reaggregation of GPUs and other system components, which can be dynamically configured to meet the specific needs of each workload. The flexibility of FabreX enables a single Gryf unit to handle more than a petabyte of data, utilizing server-class GPUs for processing.

Configurability and Scalability

The Gryf platform offers unmatched configurability and scalability:

  • Configurable on-demand - Users can modify Gryf’s setup in the field through software adjustments or by swapping out its modular sleds. This flexibility ensures optimal resource utilization, reduces hardware costs, and lowers power consumption.
  • High compute density - Gryf overcomes traditional cooling challenges and supports high-performance GPUs alongside substantial storage capacities, enabling complex AI tasks to be performed directly at the operational site.
  • Scalable multi-unit setup - Up to five Gryf units can be interconnected using the FabreX AI memory fabric, allowing for extensive data processing and resource sharing across connected units.

With Gryf, GigaIO and SourceCode have set a new standard for AI-powered computing at the edge, combining portability with unparalleled performance. This innovative solution promises to revolutionize the way field operations are conducted, offering scalable, high-performance computing power anytime, anywhere.
