Hardware starter kit
GE Intelligent Platforms

The 6U OpenVPX CUDA Starter Kit provides system integrators with a complete application development platform supporting multiple GPGPU configurations. Customers can order a single part number and start development and testing on GE's latest IPN250 single board computer with onboard Intel Core2 Duo processor and NVIDIA GT240 GPU. Also included is our NPN240 dual NVIDIA GT240 GPU card; a 4-slot chassis, and ancillary hardware including disk drives, rear transition modules, power supply and cables to support multi-GPU configurations along with a pre-installed CentOS Linux start-up image.

The IPN250, Intel Penryn Core2 Duo plus NVIDIA GT240 96 core COTS processor, paired with our NPN240, dual NVIDIA GT240 expansion card, are the first in a new family of 6U OpenVPX GPGPU cluster solutions targeting extended temperature, harsh environment mission pay loads for airborne, ground vehicle and naval.

Now defense system integrators can move their high performance computing (HPC) applications onto GE's rugged, scalable, multi-node GPGPU platforms to deliver more capable deployed radar, sonar, image processing and extended intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR) mission profiles.

GE's OpenVPX GPGPU solutions are ideal for applications that require increased performance in size, weight and power (SWaP) constrained deployed platforms.
