Concurrent Technologies Launches New Rugged 3U VPX I/O Intensive Plug In Card

Our Bureau - : Jul 30, 2021 - : 6:06 am

Concurrent Technologies has launched a new 3U VPX Plug in Card (PIC) designed in alignment with the SOSA Technical Standard.

The new I/O intensive processor is targeted for use in a variety of Situational Awareness and Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) applications that need a combination of general-purpose processing augmented with image processing and Artificial Intelligence (AI) acceleration.

TR K9x/6sd-RCx is based on an 11th Gen Intel Core Processor which has up to 4 CPU cores mated with 16 Gbytes of soldered DDR4 DRAM with in-band Error Correction Code for high-performance general-purpose compute tasks. The Intel Iris Xe Graphics integrated into the product adds up to 96 Execution Units for AI and acceleration when utilized by an OpenCL, oneAPI or OpenVINO application. Extra processing or I/O can be included within a single slot via the onboard XMC site which means that the product can be easily reconfigured for specific application needs.

Connectivity to the XMC site and the backplane data and expansion plane connections is via a PCIe switch with non-Transparent port and DMA capability, allowing for SWaP optimized multi-processor solutions without the need for a separate PCIe switch. In addition, TR K9x/6sd-RCx supports a number of rear connections for easy development and deployment including Ethernet, DisplayPort and USB. One of the advantages SOSA alignment is that the rear I/O connections are defined on the backplane, allowing customers to easily realize technology transitions and extend product life cycles.

“This new board is a key addition to our portfolio of Intel processor-based solutions; it enables more deterministic networking, with features like Precision Time Protocol, and adds capabilities to significantly improve AI inferencing and image processing performance,” said Nigel Forrester, Director of Product Strategy for Concurrent Technologies. “We are determined to provide our customers with a variety of options to fulfil their needs and this new Plug in Card is the perfect next step for our embedded solutions.”
