The SCVPX6U-6CG OpenVPX Starter Cage
from GE Intelligent Platforms provides a
flexible, cost-effective platform designed to
support GEIP’s latest 6U OpenVPX GPGPU
modules. The platform is suitable for
hardware and software evaluation plus
higher levels of integration, test and
demonstration.
GEIP’s GPGPU Starter Cage allows system
integrators to evaluate products in a
laboratory environment, using different PCIe
topologies to prove out system architectures
and performance.
The SCVPX6U-6CG comprises a 6-slot
backplane, card cage, PSU, cooling fan,
provision for auxiliary storage and all
internal power wiring.
Two of the slots are designed to take a dual
GPU card, such as the MXM940A, with 16-
lanes of PCIe connected to each GPU, using
the P1 and P5 connectors.
Two separate GPGPU nodes are configured;
the first with two CPU slots each connected
using 16-lane PCIe to a GPU. The second
node has one CPU connected with 8-lanes of
PCIe to each GPU node.
With the boards accessible from the front of
the enclosure, to allow easy access to rear
I/O, the area behind the entire backplane is
kept free. This allows easy fitting of GEIP’s
range of Rear Transition Modules (RTMs) and
any associated cabling.
