The GRA112Q 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 GRA112Q’s EXK107 GPU is capable of CUDA Compute Capability v3.0.

GE Intelligent Platforms GRA112Q’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 GRA112Q natively supports four independent output channels. All four output channels are available as DVI from the rear P2 connector. Optionally two of the four channels may be used as analog

VESA (instead of DVI) from the rear P2 connector. If connected, the analog ports 3 and 4 will take precedence over the corresponding digital ports 3 and 4.

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.

In order to accommodate the new quad channel functionality, the GRA112Q uses a different pinout to the GRA110, GRA111, and GRA112. For technology insertion of older boards, the GRA112 should be used.

The GRA112Q is optionally available as an LRM (Line Replaceable Module) in accordance with the VPX-REDI (VITA 48) standard.
