VPX3-716

The VPX3-716 is an industry-leading rugged 3U VPX Graphics Display Card, a rugged high-performance graphics processor with the AMD E8860 embedded discrete GPU technology and four independent outputs. The AMD E8860 meets the long lifecycle availability required for military programs through the use of a suite of CoreAVI software drivers and a 20-year component supply program. The rugged, high-performance graphics display card VPX3-716 3U OpenVPX™ module delivers superior performance and flexibility. Integrating with a processor mezzanine in the XMC site, this module delivers top-tier rugged graphics performance within a single 3U slot, setting a new standard in capability.

The VPX3-716 features six independent graphics outputs, 2 GB of dedicated video memory, and H.264 MPEG4 motion video decoders, making it ideal for use in a wide variety of ground and airborne environments. For example, the VPX3-716 graphics engine delivers the graphics processing horsepower, large video memory, and the very high CPU-to-Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) bandwidth needed to effectively run today’s embedded training software applications. Designed for high reliability, the VPX3-716 VPX/OpenVPX graphics card is well-suited to support embedded training, moving maps, Geographic Information Systems (GIS), 360-degree situational awareness, Degraded Visual Enhancement (DVE) and other graphics, video and compute-intensive applications.

The rugged 3U VPX Graphics Display Card, VPX3-716 from Curtiss-Wright is supported by CoreAVI’s suite of embedded software drivers, including OpenGL graphics, OpenCL compute driver, and H.264/MPEG 2 video decode drivers. The CoreAVI software drivers are designed to enable advanced graphics and video support on all popular real-time and safety-critical operating systems including Wind River VxWorks and also on customer proprietary platforms. For applications that require safety certification, CoreAVI’s software suite includes FAA RTCA DO-178C and DO-254 certification packages that simplify and speed time to market and enable long-term availability through the company’s 20-year component supply programs.
