Technology Spotlight

On a Need To Know Basis...

VPX - Why consider it for your next project

VPX has been designed specifically with defense applications in mind, with an enhanced module standard that provides superior performance.

New generations of VPX based embedded systems reflect the growing importance of high speed serial switched fabric interconnects. Switched fabrics technology supports the use of multiprocessing systems that require the fastest possible communications between multiple processors

Sarsen Technology supplies and supports rugged VPX Boards, including a wide range of 3U VPX and 6U VPX products as well as Intel VPX, PowerPC VPX, and QorIQ VPX Single Board Computers (SBCs), carriers, switches, and I/O cards for embedded computing applications.

We can also provide system-level components such as backplanes, power modules, development platforms, and deployable systems.

Below is some of the latest VPX technology from our manufacturers.

NVIDIA GPU Card

The Condor GR4 3U VPX from EIZO Rugged Solutions is a 3U VPX form factor rugged graphics/GPGPU/video capture and processing card based on NVIDIA’s Pascal™ GPU architecture.

The product comes in 2 variants based on the NVIDIA® GPU – Quadro® P5000 or Quadro® P3000 and offers exceptional GPGPU performance with both CUDA 5.1 and OpenCL™.

3U VPX Xilinx FPGA

Extreme Engineering Solutions (X-ES) has released the XPedite2570 - a conduction-cooled 3U VPX FPGA module based on the Xilinx Kintex UltraScale XCKU115.

The XPedite2570 features 12 rugged, protocol-independent fibre optic transceivers operating at up to 10.3125 Gb/s, along with 8 GB of DDR4 ECC SDRAM in 2 independent channels capable of up to 38 GB/s aggregate bandwidth.

Intel Xeon-D System

TOPAZE_D from ECRIN Systems is a rugged 3U VPX 7-payload slots chassis dedicated to high speed signal processing applications. Its I/O flexibility is capable of meeting a large number of configurations where multi-Core server-class SoC, FPGA and GPGPU heterogeneous system architecture is mandatory.

The TOPAZE-D is ITAR-free. Contact us for more details.
