The Milk-V Cluster 08 is a high-performance full-stack RISC-V cluster designed for multiple operations across all the major platforms. Delivering up to 32 Gbps cluster-wide bandwidth and 16 Gbps per node, powered by the FSL1030M switch chip. Each node supports NVMe SSDs and is powered by a RISC-V CPU, and it’s available in Jupiter NX and Megrez NX configurations, which provide AI power to NVIDIA’s JetsonNANO and XavierNX modules. The cluster can manage up to 8 nodes with remote access, firmware updates, and cross-architecture inference, supporting ARM, RISC-V, and x86 architectures. Its modular and open-source design, including 2D and 3D schematics, allows for easy customization and integration into various systems. The Milk-V Jupiter NX is optimized for AI tasks and multimedia, with dual-screen output, support for triple camera input, and up to 2 TOPS AI compute power, while the Milk-V Megrez NX offers a quad-core SiFive P550 processor with up to 19.95 TOPS AI compute power and 8K video decoding, making the cluster ideal for data-intensive, AI-driven applications.
Previously we have written about many different types of cluster boxes like the Mixtile Cluster Box, the DeskPi Super6C is the Raspberry Pi cluster, the Turing Machines RPI CM3, the Turing Pi Clusterboard, the Raspberry Pi Cluster Hat, and many more
The Milk-VJupiterNX is a RISC-V module designed as a replacement for the Jetson NANO, which is why it can have AI and multimedia features. It’s fully compatible with the Jetson NANO baseboard and supports multimedia technologies like OpenCL 3.0, Vulkan 1.3, and hardware-accelerated video decoding for H.264, H.265, VP8, and VP9. Additionally, It supports dual-screen output up to 1920×1440@60FPS and triple camera input up to 16MP. With an 8-core RISC-V AI CPU, it delivers up to 2 TOPS of AI computing power and operates in temperatures ranging from -40°C to 85°C.
On the other hand, the Milk-VMegrezNX is a RISC-V module designed as an alternative to the NVIDIAJetsonXavierNX. It features a quad-core SiFive P550 processor and a built-in NPU that delivers up to 19.95 TOPS of AI power, suitable for demanding applications. Compatible with the Jetson Xavier NX baseboard, it integrates easily into existing setups. The module includes a GPU that supports OpenGL ES 3.2, OpenCL 1.2, and Vulkan 1.2, and can decode video up to 8K and encode up to 1080p at 60fps.
At the time of writing the company has not released any pricing information for the RISC-V Cluster but, the company has released product pages for the Milk-V Cluster 08, the Milk-V Jupiter NX, and the Milk-V Megrez NX you can check these out for more information.
