    VX3030 will be associated to the 3U VPX board > VX3030-SA will be associated to the standard air-cooled commercial version of the board. > VX3030-RA will be associated to the rugged air-cooled version of the board. > VX3030-RC will be associated to the rugged conduction-cooled version of the board.
  • Page 16: Board Overview

    The VX3030 computing node is a VPX computing blade for parallel data and signal processing application. The VX3030 is the ideal building block for intensive parallel computing workloads where a cluster of VX3030s is used in full mesh or switched OpenVPX environments. Target applications include radar, sonar, imaging systems, airborne fighters, and unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) radar, as well as rugged multi-display consoles.
  • Page 17 Please contact Kontron for further information regarding other operating systems and software support. Harsh Environments The VX3030 has been designed to use the same PCB for both air and conduction-cooled boards. Build variants span a complete range of temperature, shock and vibration requirements as specified in the VITA 47 standards.
