VI-grade Launches Real-Time Simulation Platform

VI-grade, provider of human-centric simulation-driven vehicle development solutions, has launched AutoHawk Extreme, a performant configuration of its XiL simulation platform, powered by Concurrent Real-Time technology. Designed for real-time detailed multibody simulations, AutoHawk Extreme delivers speed and efficiency while maintaining a quiet, liquid-cooled design that allows integration into office environments, according VI-grade.

AutoHawk Extreme sets a new benchmark for real-time simulation performance. Equipped with eight performance cores running at 5.0 GHz, 12 efficiency cores at 4.0 GHz, and DDR5 RAM clocked at 6000 MHz, this 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 utilizing the 12 efficiency cores for ancillary models. It can be a solution for high-fidelity, real-time vehicle dynamics and multi-body simulations, delivering raw computational power through overclocked CPUs and high-speed memory for compute-heavy low-latency applications.

A key differentiator of AutoHawk Extreme is its liquid cooling system, which prevents thermal throttling, while maintaining system stability, performance, and low noise levels. This makes it useful for office environments, according to VI-grade.

The system is also designed with multiple PCIe slots, allowing users to customize and expand their setup with additional I/O boards. AutoHawk Extreme is fully compatible with PCIe expansion chassis.

“AutoHawk Extreme represents a major advancement in real-time simulation technology," says Guido Bairati, managing director at VI-grade. "This next-generation XiL simulation platform offers twice the performance of the previous AutoHawk 24 generation, all while maintaining an attractive price-performance ratio."

"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," says Anish Anthony, vice president of Technology, Concurrent Real-Time. "It is designed to meet the increasing demands of modern automotive development, enabling precise and reliable simulation for a wide range of applications."
