This week’s product, the VersaLogic Sabertooth AI embedded computer, combines a 6-core Xeon-E CPU with an NVIDIA RTX 2000 ADA GPU in a compact package. The rugged solution is targeted for use in artificial intelligence (AI) inferencing and high-bandwidth video defense applications.

The Sabertooth takes advantage of the AI-enabling performance of the NVIDIA GPU, with Lovelace Architecture, providing 3,072 CUDA Cores, 96 Tensor Cores, and 24 RT Cores; it also boasts a floating-point performance of 12.99 TFLOPS. It also provides 3 mini DP++ ports for video streams of up to 8K for multiscreen applications.

On-board I/O

The product’s on-board I/O includes two USB 3.1 ports, four USB 2.0 ports, four RS-232/422/485, serial ports, two SATA III ports, one 1GbE port, one 2.5GbE port, and two mDP++ high-performance video ports. Plug-in expansion is supported by two M.2 sockets and a mini PCIe socket.

Ruggedization

The system is designed and tested for industrial temperature operation (-40 °C to +85 °C) and meets MIL-STD-202H specifications for shock and vibration for extreme military environments.
