Video/graphics cards emerge from Abaco Systems and EIZO Rugged Solutions collab
NewsNovember 27, 2018
HUNTSVILLE, Ala. Abaco Systems today announced the rugged 3U VPX GR2 and GR4 video and graphics cards, aimed at use in military and defense applications as well as challenging commercial/industrial applications.
Both boards -- the initial products stemming from Abaco's recently announced collaboration with EIZO Rugged Solutions -- feature the newest generation of the NVIDIA Pascal GPU, enabling them to deliver up to 6.4 teraFLOPS of performance and as much as 4.5 times the performance of their predecessor, the Abaco GRA113 video/graphics board.
The conduction-cooled GR4 supports PCI Express 3.0 (8- or 4-lane) and features four 3G-SDI video inputs/outputs and one DisplayPort output providing support for 4K resolution; in addition, video encode/decode uses either the HEVC/H.265 or AVC/H.264 codec. The GR2 -- available in either an air-cooled or conduction-cooled variant -- includes two DisplayPort outputs from the rear P2 VPX connector, and supports PCI Express 3.0 (16-, 8- or 4-lane).
Both the GR4 and GR2 support CUDA and OpenCL and are available with Windows and Linux drivers.
