Curtiss-Wright Adds NVIDIA® GPGPU Processor Module to its Growing Roster of OpenVPX™ Solutions Developed in Alignment with the SOSA™ Technical Standard
New SOSA aligned GPGPU modules expand Curtiss-Wright’s family of high-performance size, weight, and power (SWaP)-optimized embedded computing (HPEC) processors for AI/ML applications
ASHBURN, Va. – April 29, 2021 – Curtiss-Wright’s Defense Solutions division, a trusted leading supplier of rugged ISR and EW processing modules and systems, today introduced its first 3U OpenVPX GPGPU processor module designed in compliance with the U.S. Army CCDC C5ISR Center’s C4ISR/EW Modular Open Suite of Standards (CMOSS) and aligned with standards currently being defined by The Open Group Sensor Open Systems Architecture™ (SOSA) Consortium. Developed to support compute-intensive ISR and EW systems, this fully rugged SOSA aligned variant of the VPX3-4935, an NVIDIA Quadro® Turing™ based GPGPU processor card module, is the latest addition to Curtiss-Wright’s growing roster of CMOSS-compliant / SOSA aligned hardware. The SWaP-optimized VPX3-4935 is ideal for accelerating tensor/matrix computation used for deep learning neural network inference used in deployed artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) applications requiring TFLOPS of accelerated processing. These applications include high-performance radar, SIGINT, EO/IR, data fusion ingest, processing and display, and autonomous vehicles
