ASHBURN, Va. – April 4, 2016 – Curtiss-Wright’s Defense Solutions division today announced its second generation rugged GPU module for deployed Radar, SIGINT and EO/IR high performance embedded computing (HPEC) applications. The new CHAMP-GP3 GPGPU (general purpose graphics processor unit) Application Accelerator is the industry’s first 6U OpenVPX module to bring the extensive floating point processing power of NVIDIA®’s latest generation of Maxwell architecture class GPGPUs to the embedded aerospace and defense market. The board features dual 1536-core Tesla M6 MXMs high performance computing devices to provide an unprecedented 5 TFLOPS of compute performance in a single slot. Designed for compute-intensive applications that require extreme processing, the CHAMP-GP3 is the first COTS module to provide a size, weight and power (SWaP) optimized solution for system designers who seek the unmatched super computing capability of a Tesla GPGPU to address applications that can’t be satisfied by aggregating multiple microprocessors. In conjunction, Curtiss-Wright also announced that it has been selected by NVIDIA to become a member of its NVIDIA Partner Network program.
