- Putting VPX and OpenVPX to Work Handbook, 1st Edition
OpenVPX provides an effective method for describing VPX components, and also defines numerous âprofilesâ for boards, slots and backplanes that detail specific configurations of channels, interconnections and fabrics. By narrowing the field of configurations, these profiles boost reusability and interoperability between vendors. OpenVPX presents a formal, well-organized system for defining all components in VPX systems.

- Metadata Handling in Rugged Embedded Video Compression Systems
In many situations, information is useless without information about the information. Thatâs where metadata comes in: it can give context and meaning to, for example, captured video. This white paper describes how a recent update to the highly flexible architecture of GEâs ICS-8580 video compression board uniquely provides it with a metadata engine, making it substantially more powerful in its ability to deliver actionable intelligence.

- Classification of Objects from Video Streams
Imagine a world in which brilliant machines âunderstandâ whatâs around them â and communicate that understanding to other brilliant machines, making each of them collectively smarter. Todayâs technology innovations are driving the object classification algorithms of tomorrowâs brilliant machines. This paper illustrates how the edge nodes of the network can interact with a variety of real world sensors then apply the âcollective learningâ, such that the experience of an individual machine contributes to the learning of the whole.

- Introduction to VPX Technology
What is VPX? VPX (VITA 46) is the next generation of ruggedized compact embedded systems. VPX expands the possible bandwidth, compared to traditional VME systems, by replacing the parallel bus with high speed serial busses. In this white paper, we discuss the serial interconnects, profiles, protocols, and more.

- Rugged GPGPUs for UAV Synthetic Aperture RADAR (SAR)
Small light-weight UAV SAR have always been a compromise between size, weight, and power, with capability and real-time actionable intelligence. Traditional digital signal processing technologies processing capability struggles to meet small light weight UAV SAR mission requirements in a timely fashion. Rugged COTS GPGPU boards with their impressive processing capability will disrupt the traditional methods of creating and designing SARs for light-weight UAVs.
