ASHBURN, Va. – The Curtiss-Wright Corp. Defense Solutions Division in Ashburn, Va., is introducing the VPX3-730 high-performance SOSA-aligned 3U VPX graphics processing unit (GPU) module for radar, display, and sensor-fusion applications that need deep-learning inference and powerful math engines for artificial intelligence (AI) workloads.
The rugged VPX3-730 features the NVIDIA RTX PRO 5000 Blackwell GPU for inferencing, AI, machine learning, and vector processing, and delivers as much as 15 times higher performance compared to other accelerated computers.
NVIDIA software libraries
The embedded computing module also enables system integrators to use NVIDIA's software that includes NVIDIA AI Enterprise, deep learning frameworks, and neural network libraries.
The SOSA-aligned VPX3-730 provides designers of Modular Open Systems Approach (MOSA) systems with large amounts of NVIDIA CUDA cores, NVIDIA Tensor Cores, and local memory, with support for NVIDIA ConnectX-7 100-gigabit-per-second Ethernet network interface cards with PCI Express Gen5 connectivity and as much as 50 trillion floating point operations per second of peak compute performance.
