unit, as featured on the NVIDIA GeForce
™
7600GT, incorporating 256 MBytes of
GDDR3 SDRAM arranged in two banks.
The interface between GPU and CPU is
16-lane PCI Express, allowing maximum
bandwidth between the two processors.
Storage is provided by a solid state disk
drive, which boasts a capacity of up to
64 GBytes, sustained read performance
of 45 MBytes/second, and a purge facility
to allow data on the drive to be securely
deleted in an emergency.

based microprocessors with powerful
graphics processors connected together
with 16-lane PCI Express

VPX-based subsystems can be packaged
in a baseplate-cooled, fan-cooled, liquid-
cooled, or spray-cooled chassis capable
of operating in the harsh environments
that characterize many military and
aerospace applications.
OpenVPX is a subsystem specification for
VPX that provides a defined framework for
interoperability between OpenVPX products.
OpenVPX leverages existing VPX dot specs
for compatible OpenVPX profiles for modules,
backplanes and development chassis.
