Huntsville, AL., July 22, 2025 – AMETEK Abaco Systems proudly announces the launch of the GRA118SL, a SOSA® aligned 3U VPX graphics and GPGPU card powered by the latest NVIDIA Blackwell architecture, available in B5000 and B4000 GPU variants.
The GRA118SL features 24 GB of GDDR7 memory with ECC and a 256-bit interface, delivering exceptional memory bandwidth and data transfer speeds—ideal for edge computing and mission-critical applications.
Purpose-built for rugged, high-performance embedded computing in aerospace, defense, and industrial applications, the GRA118SL is the ideal solution for platforms requiring high memory bandwidth and extreme data throughput.
Both GPU variants support 9th Gen NVENC and 6th Gen NVDEC engines with 4:2:2 video encoding, GPUDirect RDMA, and are available in conduction-cooled and air-flow-through configurations. These options ensure interoperability, scalability, and long-term deployment in demanding environments.
Key Features of the GRA118SL:
- NVIDIA RTX™ 4000 GPU (B4000 variant) or RTX™ 5000 GPU (B5000 variant), based on Blackwell architecture
- 24 GB GDDR7 graphics memory with ECC
- Conduction-cooled (VITA 48.2) and air-flow-through (VITA 48.8) options
- Fully aligned with the SOSA® technical standard
“The new NVIDIA Blackwell architecture enables the GRA118SL to deliver groundbreaking performance for high-performance embedded applications,” said Simon Collins, Director of Product Management at Abaco Systems. “Software engineers developing defense platforms—such as UAV detection systems—will find this SOSA-aligned GPGPU card a compelling choice. With two GPU variants, system designers can select the optimal configuration for their specific performance needs.”
