Curtiss-Wright Controls Launches Industry's First Fermi architecture NVIDIA(r) GPGPU 3U OpenVPX(tm) Engine
Curtiss-Wright Controls Embedded Computing (CWCEC) has announced its first 3U OpenVPX general purpose graphics processing unit (GPGPU)- multi-core engine, the VPX3-491 GPU Application Accelerator. The small form factor VPX3-491 features an NVIDIA(r) GPU based on the NVIDIA Fermi architecture with 240 CUDA(tm) cores. Integrated into subsystem, the VPX3-491 functions as a co-processor attached to a host Intel(r)-processor board and takes advantage of the new PCIe Expansion Plane definitions in the VITA 65 OpenVPX standard to provide off the shelf backplane support for high-speed interconnection between pairs of SBC/GPU. The combination of 2nd Generation Intel processors, gen2 PCI Express interconnect and 240 NVIDIA CUDA cores raises the performance bar for compact systems for demanding military digital signal processing (DSP) applications such as C4ISR, EO/IR, and SatCom.
