VPX3U-XAVIER-CX6-HPC (WOLF-12TZ)

Overview

The VPX3U-XAVIER-CX6-HPC module provides the data processing capability needed for a variety of HPC tasks such as sensor data processing, machine vision, and other C4ISR tasks. This SOSA aligned payload slot module includes an NVIDIA Jetson AGX Xavier Industrial and an NVIDIA ConnectX-6 SmartNIC.

The NVIDIA Xavier SoC’s embedded Volta GPU provides the CUDA cores and Tensor cores for data processing, deep learning inference, machine vision, audio processing, and video encoding/decoding. The 512 CUDA cores provide 1.4 TFLOPS for processing, while the 64 Tensor cores provide the underlying architecture required for an efficient inference engine that can achieve up to 20 TOPS (INT8) of deep learning inference computing. The Xavier Industrial model also includes new safety, reliability, and security features.

The NVIDIA ConnectX-6 SmartNIC provides secure, high-speed network data transfer and a configurable PCIe Gen4 switch. ConnectX-6 is ideal to meet the data transfer requirements for tasks such as sensor data processing and other C4ISR tasks. The ConnectX-6 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 SoC die to the wedgelocks.
