Embedded MXM GPU cards built around Nvidia’s Ampere architecture which are designed and manufactured by Advantech are available from Impulse Embedded.
The cards have a guaranteed five-year life cycle whilst offering twice the bandwidth and FP32 performance compared to the previous generation, said Impulse Embedded. These new MXM GPU cards feature second-generation ray tracing cores and third generation Tensor cores. According to Impulse Embedded, this improved AI inference capability will help accelerate edge computing and AI application development in industrial applications such as machine automation and machine vision, driver assistance and public safety systems.
Advantech’s MXM modules are designed specifically to meet harsh environments which are to be integrated into edge systems that have been tested and certified to handle excessive vibration and shock conditions. The compact and rugged design of MXM GPU cards are available in two form factors.
The SKY-MXM-A500, SKY-MXM-A1000 and SKY-MXM-A2000 are MXM 3.1 Type A versions and have a footprint of 82 x 70mm footprint. The SKY-MXM-A4500 is MXM 3.1 Type B version with a larger form factor of 82 x 105mm.
The SKY-MXM-A500 has a low power consumption of 35W and the SKY-MXM-A4500 is the most powerful card in the series, with 5888 CUDA cores and 16Gbyte of GDDR6 memory and a maximum power draw of 110W.
Impulse Embedded also offers Advantech’s expansion module as part of its i-Module range for the MIC_7xx series of industrial, high-performance embedded box PCs.
The MIC-75GF10 I-Module enables the integration of Advantech’s MXM GPU cards with Nvidia Ampere embedded GPUs into existing MIC-7xx series fanless embedded systems each with up to 80W power consumption support. They are available in MXM 3.1 Type A and Type B form factors.
