SOSA-aligned embedded computing processor for artificial intelligence (AI) introduced by Curtiss-Wright
The Curtiss-Wright Corp. Defense Solutions division in Ashburn, Va., is introducing the VPX3-4936 3U OpenVPX GPGPU processor module for deep learning, neural networks, artificial intelligence (AI), and machine learning.
The processor features the combination of the NVIDIA Ampere graphics processing unit (GPU) and a configurable Gen4 PCI Express switch. The NVIDIA Ampere architecture boosts performance and efficiency over the previous NVIDIA Turing generation, including more flexible concurrent execution of floating point and integer streams.
Example applications for the embedded computing processor include intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR); electronic warfare (EW), high-performance radar; signals intelligence (SIGINT), sensor fusion, and unmanned vehicles.
