High Performance Workstations: Bridge the Gap Between Desktop and Data Center
As today’s workloads push the boundaries of processing, analytics, and AI, professionals in defense, cybersecurity, and advanced research need more than power—they need high performance workstations that deliver data center-grade capability in a desktop footprint.
Ace’s new LogiCAD Neuron Z & LogiCAD Neuron HAL workstations are engineered to obliterate performance bottlenecks, maximize reliability, and secure mission-critical deployments without compromise. Both models are catalog-standard offerings and are being prepared for GSA pricing to support streamlined institutional procurement.
EPYC-Class Performance in High Performance Workstations
At the heart of the Neuron platform is Ace’s proprietary single-socket enterprise motherboard, designed specifically for the AMD EPYC™ 9005 “Turin” Series. A 400W TDP, server-class processor with up to 96 cores and 192 threads, bringing unmatched parallel performance to your local workflow. The Neuron HAL, configured with AMD’s 96-core EPYC 9655P, outpaces the highest-end Threadripper PRO 7995WX by over 10% in PassMark multi-threaded benchmarks, delivering exceptional compute efficiency without sacrificing thermal stability.
Whether you’re modeling fluid dynamics, running LLM inference, or processing terabytes of cyber data, Neuron delivers HPC without the rack. Read more about HPC on our Industries page.
“The line between the data center and the desktop has just been erased.” – Ben Kozlowski, Ace Computers HPC Expert
High Performance Workstations with Server-Class Memory Architecture
Data science, AI, and large-scale modeling require serious memory bandwidth. That’s why the Neuron platform offers:
- Up to 3TB of DDR5 ECC memory
- 8-channel memory architecture
- Speeds of up to 6,000MT/s
This in-memory horsepower lets you ingest and manipulate massive datasets in real time—something traditionally reserved for multi-socket servers. Configured for up to 1TB of high-speed DDR5 ECC memory (5600MT/s, 8×128GB), ideal for demanding workloads like simulations, AI training, and large-scale data operations. The underlying architecture supports expanded capacity for future scaling. Learn about our high-performance workstations in the field on our Case Studies Page.
I/O Flexibility That Fuels High Performance Workstations
Ace’s custom motherboard doesn’t force tradeoffs. Instead, it unlocks unparalleled I/O scalability with:
- Five full-bandwidth PCIe Gen 5.0 x16 slots → Ideal for multi-GPU training, 100GbE, and NVMe RAID setups
- Two onboard M.2 PCIe Gen 4.0 x4 slots → High-speed NVMe storage for boot or scratch
Built on Ace’s proprietary 1P S8055 motherboard (developed in partnership with Tyan), these systems support high-speed PCIe Gen 5.0 bandwidth with modular expansion and FIPS-compliant storage options. This kind of I/O infrastructure means your system grows with your workload—no compromises.
GPU Power in High Performance Workstations
High performance workstations should move as fast as possible, which is why the Neuron Z & HAL support:
- Up to 3x NVIDIA RTX 6000 Blackwell Max-Q GPUs
- Each with 96GB of GDDR7 ECC memory
With configurations supporting up to three NVIDIA RTX 6000 Blackwell Max-Q GPUs—each equipped with 96GB of GDDR7 ECC memory—the Neuron Series delivers next-gen rendering and acceleration capabilities without compromise. From training AI models to ray-tracing cinematic scenes or developing digital twins, this is GPU horsepower that makes bottlenecks obsolete.
Security & Reliability Built Into High Performance Workstations
Enterprise security is built into every layer of the Neuron Series:
- Trusted Platform Module (TPM) for hardware-level encryption
- Secure Boot + anti-tamper firmware for trusted execution
- Ruggedized components for high-pressure deployments
- AMD EPYC-exclusive protections like Secure Encrypted Virtualization (SEV), Infinity Fabric security, and hardware root of trust
Unlike traditional workstation platforms, EPYC-powered Neuron systems include enterprise security features like Secure Encrypted Virtualization (SEV), Infinity Fabric-level data protection, and hardware-based root of trust. These protections are critical for federal and research environments managing sensitive or classified data. These aren’t add-ons, they’re foundational—ideal for defense, cybersecurity, and sensitive enterprise applications.
The Proprietary Backbone of Ace’s High Performance Workstations
At the heart of every Neuron system is Ace’s proprietary enterprise motherboard—a one-of-a-kind platform you won’t find anywhere else. Engineered in collaboration with Tyan and custom-built for AMD EPYC 9004/9005 CPUs, this enterprise-grade foundation is crafted for mission-critical flexibility. With five full-bandwidth PCIe Gen 5.0 x16 slots, dual Gen 4 M.2 NVMe lanes, and refined power delivery, it’s made to scale with your ambition. Whether you’re training AI models, visualizing scientific simulations, or deploying at the tactical edge, you can build exactly what you need—without compromise.
Rugged Reliability Meets Scalable Computing
Unlike fragile workstations in disguise, Neuron Z & HAL are purpose-engineered for stability under stress. Whether you’re operating in a secure lab or an unpredictable field environment, their rugged design ensures uptime, thermal resilience, and silent strength in the face of demanding applications.
