The GRA112V is the third generation of 3U
VPX graphics boards, bringing the NVIDIA®
Kepler graphics processing unit to the
rugged military and aerospace market for
both video and graphics generation and
general purpose computing (GPGPU).
For both runtime performance and ease of
programming, NVIDIA’s EXK107 GPU
enables significant gains in SIGINT, radar
and video or image processing
applications. With 384 processing cores,
single- and double-precision floating point
units, improved shared memory
architecture and cache hierarchy, together
with faster atomic operations, the
GRA112V’s EXK107 GPU is capable of CUDA
Compute Capability v3.0.
The 3U VPX form factor of the GE Intel igent
Platforms GRA112V allows maximum
bandwidth connectivity between NVIDIA’s
EXK107 GPU and the system backplane,
routing the full 16 lanes of Gen 3-capable
PCI Express® to the backplane for
connection to a CPU, such as a 3rd
generation Intel® Core™-i7 SBC. This high-
bandwidth interconnect helps reduce
latency, particularly in applications which
transfer large volumes of data to the GPU
for processing.
In order to support legacy platforms, the
GRA112V implements a scan-converter on
one of the RGB analog outputs, allowing
the product to drive an interlaced video
output. The sync signals can be separate,
composite or sync on green, and the video
signal can be single-ended or differential.
Designed to be pin-compatible with GE’s
GRA111, the GRA112V offers two
independent graphics channels in both
analog VESA and digital DVI formats.
This high-performance graphics card is
available in all five of GE’s standard rugged
build levels, from benign lab environments
to wide-temperature rugged conduction-
cooled, and in a two-level maintenance
(2LM) VITA 48-REDI variant with rear
covers.
In critical applications where it is desirable
to have a fast shutdown of computing
equipment, an option exists for a fast
power-supply discharge.
The GRA112V is a form, fit and function
replacement for the GRA111, and may be
deployed in the MAGIC1 Rugged Display
Computer to provide a fast-to-market
solution for high-performance graphics
and GPGPU signal processing applications.
