The GRA112D 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, singleand double-precision floating point units,
improved shared memory architecture and
cache hierarchy, together with faster
atomic operations, the GRA112D’s EXK107
GPU is capable of CUDA Compute
Capability v3.0.
GE Intelligent Platforms GRA112D’s 3U VPX
form factor allows maximum bandwidth
connectivity between NVIDIA’s EXK107 GPU
and the system backplane, routing the full
16 lanes of PCI Express® Gen 3 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.
The GRA112D natively supports two
independent output channels, which may
be either DVI or VGA. The GRA112D is a
technology insertion for the GRA111.
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 conductioncooled, 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.
