June 9, 2020 -- Herrick Technology Laboratories Inc. (HTL) and Wolf Advanced Technology (WOLF) are pleased to announce that WOLF will be supplying a newly designed SOSA aligned module, the VPX3U-RTX5000-SWITCH, to be integrated into new Herrick adaptive waveform processing applications. The module will include the NVIDIA® Quadro® RTX 5000 GPU and switch backplane capabilities for PCIe Gen 4 and 10GigE, resulting in a solution that is designed to save valuable slot space in 3U VPX systems.
The NVIDIA Quadro RTX 5000 GPU provides up to 11 TFLOPS of processing and 384 AI Tensor cores, which can be used for High Performance Embedded Computing (HPEC) applications that include radar, artificial intelligence, signal intelligence, and more.
"Originally, we were considering creating our own SOSA aligned PCIe Gen 4 switch combined with GPU module using NVIDIA MXM modules, but we decided to partner with WOLF because of their expertise with NVIDIA chip-down technology, which provides significantly better performance. We were also impressed with WOLF’s ruggedization experience to make commercial GPUs effectively operate in extreme temperatures, shock and vibration,” said Robert Normoyle, Staff Scientist for HTL. “We are excited about the single-slot solution for a high-performance GPU combined with a SOSA aligned PCIe Gen 4 switch slot with Fiber IO. It is an industry first and adds significant new performance and flexibility to our high-performance multi-function RF VPX systems.”
"We are thrilled to work with Herrick to create a slot-saving solution with ample GPU processing power for their existing adaptive waveform processing applications," said Greg Maynard, CTO of WOLF, "and we look forward to working with them on future designs that provide them with a system advantage."
