Description
Title of the invention: INFORMATION PROCESSING SYSTEM WITH INFORMATION SECURITY PROTECTION AND ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE
[0001] BACKGROUND
[0002] 1. Technical field
[0003] The present invention relates to an information processing system, and more particularly to an information processing system with information security protection and artificial intelligence.
[0004] 2. Description of the associated technique
[0005] The statements contained in this section merely provide background information relating to the present invention and do not necessarily constitute the prior art.
[0006] When military computers such as PC-screen combos are upgraded by replacing the CPU module, the computer must be replaced with a new heat dissipation case, and the entire computer system structure must also be changed, which increases development time and development and verification costs.
[0007] Furthermore, military computers require not only a CPU (Central Processing Unit) chip, but also an additional GPU (Graphics Processing Unit) chip for 4K display, in order to provide a smoother and clearer display capable of showing real-time images of temperature, altitude, wind direction, and humidity at a distance of 50 kilometers. Sometimes, even multiple monitors are necessary so that the war information command center can have more data to assess the situation at a distance of 50 kilometers and avoid misjudgments. Consequently, the computational load on the CPU chip is extremely heavy, resulting in an inability to quickly acquire accurate data.
[0008] The CPU chip is responsible for controlling the connectors of the entire system, such as LAN, HDMI, GPIO, analog I / O, and COM Express, in order to transmit high-speed signals, calculate, and distribute the acquired data. When an artificial intelligence (AI) algorithm is integrated into the CPU chip, the CPU easily loses real-time transmission of I / O (input / output) signals from the carrier board. Therefore, the question of whether or not artificial intelligence (AI) should be executed by the CPU chip has a significant impact. In particular, according to the inventor's development and testing, An FPGA (user-programmable pre-diffused array) can be fitted into the carrier board, and the FPGA is specifically responsible for processing AI data and, therefore, will not reduce the computing performance of the CPU chip.
[0009] Furthermore, using the CPU chip or GPU chip for connection to the external LCD (liquid crystal display) module also presents a significant problem. In order to select the appropriate computing power for the CPU or GPU chip for display and to enable the external LCD module to perform higher-resolution applications, a signal-switching IC (integrated circuit) bridge chip must be added. This bridge chip must be capable of carrying powerful, high-speed signals so that there are no obstacles to high-speed communication between the CPU chip and the GPU chip. However, the manufacturing cost of developing this additional bridge chip is high, which also increases the surface area of the carrier board and becomes another source of heat.
[0010] Military computers must meet the requirements of various countries' military regulations, such as verification of the CMMC (Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification) promoted by the U.S. Department of Defense, in order to strengthen system security and prevent adversaries or hackers from tampering with the system or compromising the security and computation of the algorithm. Therefore, military computers must be equipped with strict information security protection mechanisms.
