New M599 Rugged XMC from Aitech Offers Double the Performance of Previous Model

AMD GPGPU-based graphics board handles multiple high-def video and data streams simultaneously
  • High-performance 5-head multiple output graphics XMC
  • AMD Radeon™ E9171 embedded GPU for 3D and 4K graphics processing
  • 4K HEVC/H.265 and AVC/H.264 decode and encode
  • GPGPU Parallel Processing by OpenCL
  • DAL-A certifiable for mission critical avionics applications
Chatsworth, Calif. May 2021 – Aitech, a leading provider of rugged board and system level solutions for military, aerospace and space applications, now offers the M599, a multiple output graphics XMC that provides double the performance of its predecessor, with the same low power consumption.
Designed for mission critical platforms requiring real-time operating systems (RTOS), the rugged M599 uses the AMD next generation E9171 1.2 TFLOPS GPU to drive multi-displays, enable 3D and 4K content as well as handle high GPGPU compute needs. The new XMC can be certified to DAL-A, if required for avionics applications, and meets VITA 47 requirements for shock and vibration.
Dan Mor, Director, Video and GPGPU Product Line for Aitech, commented, “The number of high-resolution video and data input sources for rugged embedded systems keeps increasing. GPGPU computing allows the CPU and OS to remain responsive even when the system is under a heavy load, by offloading the intensive operations to the GPU. The M599, our latest graphics XMC, can now deliver 3D and 4K graphics to mission critical embedded systems and keep pace with market evolutions.”
Aitech’s rugged XMC is safety-certifiable graphics card, handling up to five simultaneous displays, and offering an optimal balance of performance and power efficiency. Ideal applications include heads-up displays and moving maps as well as navigation and many unmanned vehicles for land, air and sea.
Available in conduction- and air-cooled versions, the M599 operates as a peripheral XMC board with a compatible x86 or NXP host SBC, which interconnects to the XMC via a high speed PCIe Gen3 link of up to eight lanes. The rugged graphics card supports a number of APIs including Vulkan, OpenCL, OpenGL and DirectX as well as interfaces with Windows and Linux operating systems and RT OSes like VxWorks and INTEGRITY.

Designing Robust 5G Power Amplifiers for the Real World

Sponsored by Keysight

Simulating 5G power amplifier (PA) designs at the component and system levels with authentic modulation and high-fidelity behavioral models increases predictability, lowers risk, and shrinks schedules. Simulation software enables multi-technology layout and multi-domain analysis, evaluating the impacts of 5G PA design choices while delivering accurate results in a single virtual workspace. This application note delves into how authentic modulation enhances predictability and performance in 5G millimeter-wave systems.
