The company said the new products will deliver substantial increases in processing capability for applications and environments that require computing such as radar, signals intelligence and video surveillance and interpretation.
"There has long been interest in taking the processing performance inherent in GPUs - such as their massively parallel computing capability - and applying that to problems that have historically been solved using complex DSP and FPGA processor architectures," said Peter Cavill, General Manager, Military & Aerospace Products at GE Fanuc Intelligent Platforms. "The CUDA architecture allows us to offer our customers a level of processing performance that surpasses anything else in the industry by a significant margin. Nvidia GPUs, in effect, bring the power of supercomputing and parallel processing to applications that are size-, weight- and power-constrained, and will enable us to create new generations of mobile military platforms."
Nvidia said its CUDA Technology delivers up to 100x increase in speed in a broad range of applications that lend themselves to parallel computing. Early tests at GE Fanuc have shown that military applications will benefit from similar increases in speed. A prime contractor in the military/aerospace industry has evaluated the CUDA architecture in a radar system, and found that performance improvement of 15x is achievable with minimal reprogramming effort. Other prime contractors are expressing substantial interest in the technology.
In addition to having potential applications in radar, signals intelligence, and video surveillance and interpretation, GPUs based on the CUDA architecture represent outstanding potential in other application areas including target tracking, image stabilization, SAR (synthetic aperture radar) simulation, pattern recognition, video encoding/decoding, graphics rendering, object recognition, in-crowd behavioral monitoring and analysis, cryptography, sensor processing and software defined radio. Traditional graphics applications will also benefit greatly from high performance Nvidia GPUs.
New GE Fanuc hardware products featuring CUDA-based GPUs will be announced in the fourth quarter. The first board will be 3U VPX-based and will benefit from a broad-ranging supporting infrastructure of other GE Fanuc 3U VPX solutions and services, allowing customers to specify tailored multi-board solutions. Alternatively, a CUDA-enabled 3U VPX rugged graphics subsystem will also be available.
A family of 6U VPX products will feature combinations of Intel dual core processors and Nvidia CUDA-enabled GPUs, allowing designers to create multi-board solutions for applications. This family, as well as the new 3U VPX platform, will additionally support OpenCL.
