NewsNovember 20, 2018
HUNTSVILLE, Ala. and ALTAMONTE SPRINGS, Fla. Abaco Systems and EIZO Rugged Solutions have announced that they are collaborating on products that will result in Abaco expanding its existing NVIDIA-based board and system family.
According to information from Abaco, the company is leveraging EIZO Rugged Solutions’ experience and expertise to respond to the growing military/aerospace customer requirements for advanced video processing and GPGPU technology in high-performance embedded computing (HPEC) systems. The new product range will be aimed at compute-intensive applications in the areas of intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR); electronic warfare (EW); radar/sonar; remote sensing and analysis; and video capture/processing.
Peter Thompson, Vice President, Product Management at Abaco Systems, says of the cooperative effort: “Our mission at Abaco has long been to bring the latest technologies to our warfighters in the shortest time possible, giving them the best tools to do the job – and this agreement helps enable us to do that. Beyond this, NVIDIA’s CUDA-enabled GPGPU technology is rapidly becoming a vital element in today’s HPEC systems. GPGPU provides the highest degree of parallelism to deliver performance well beyond that of traditional processors in a number of applications, such as multi-beam sensor processing, software defined radar and automatic target recognition/ acquisition. It can also deliver substantially improved performance/watt. This agreement with EIZO Rugged Solutions further strengthens our already leading-edge HPEC capability.”
Initial product resulting from the partnership are set to be announced soon.
