XMC-A2000E-FGX2-CV (WOLF-3477)

Overview

This XMC module includes an advanced NVIDIA RTXTM A2000 embedded GPU and a WOLF FGX for video format conversion to SDI and analog formats. Data can be routed to the high-performance NVIDIA Ampere architecture GPU for processing, encoding, or AI inference, and then be output using the XMC connector or front panel connectors.

The NVIDIA Ampere architecture has introduced many significant improvements to the performance and efficiency of the GPU, with more flexible CUDA FP32/INT core use, more efficient third generation Tensor cores, and second generation RT cores. The Ampere GPU fabrication uses an 8nm manufacturing processing providing significant power improvements which, along with other Ampere architecture improvements, can provide up to 144 GFLOPS/W, providing almost three times the performance per slot compared to the Pascal generation’s 51 GFLOPS/W.

The WOLF Frame Grabber eXtreme (FGX2) provides the board with data conversion from one standard to another, with a wide array of video input and output options for both cutting-edge digital I/O and legacy analog I/O. The FGX2 supports NVIDIA GPUDirect which allows direct access to the GPU memory for processing and analysis.

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 to move heat away from the GPU.
