VPX3U-ORIN-CX7-FGX2-SBC (WOLF-14T0) "Katana"

Overview

The VPX3U-ORIN-CX7-FGX2-SBC module meets the needs of demanding C5ISR applications, providing a secure compute node which provides advanced AI and HPC processing capabilities, high data transfer rates, and the cyber security features required to ensure data is being protected. This autonomous SOSA aligned module includes an NVIDIA Jetson AGX Orin, an NVIDIA ConnectX-7 SmartNIC, and a WOLF FGX2 which provides support for up to 4K video formats that are not native to the Orin SoC.

The NVIDIA Orin’s embedded Ampere GPU provides the CUDA cores and Tensor cores for data processing, deep learning inference, machine vision, audio processing and video encoding/decoding. The 2048 CUDA cores provides 4.9 TFLOPS for processing, while the 64 Gen3 Tensor cores provides the underlying architecture required for an efficient inference engine which can achieve up to 248 TOPS (INT8) of deep learning inference computing.

The NVIDIA ConnectX-7 SmartNIC provides secure, high-speed network data transfer and a configurable PCIe Gen5 switch. ConnectX-7 is ideal to meet the high data transfer and security requirements for C5ISR tasks. The ConnectX-7 also provides support for RDMA over Converged Ethernet (RoCE) and support for NVIDIA GPUDirect, enabling the fastest method for transferring data across the network to the GPU.

Unlocking the best performance requires the best cooling capability. WOLF’s advanced cooling technology is designed to move heat using a low weight, high efficiency path from the hot chip’s die to the wedgelocks.
