Part of the skyAI family of intelligent computing subsystems, the NANOhpc-DPU is a versatile and reconfigurable data processing subsystem composed of a base NANOhpc-obc unit connected via a high-speed PCIe interface to a DPU extension built around the AMD Zynq UltraScale+ MPSoC.

Both the NANOhpc-obc and the Zynq MPSoC are fully programmable, allowing the customer to implement custom on-board computing and data processing functions. The NANOhpc-obc provides supervision, housekeeping, and general control capabilities, while the Zynq MPSoC is dedicated to high-performance user-defined data processing algorithms. A configurable user connector allows direct access to Zynq MPSoC signals, enabling seamless interfacing with payloads or custom peripherals.
