M599 AMD E9171 (Polaris) GPGPU and Graphics XMC

The parallel processing capabilities of today's multi-core GPUs make them ideal for both non-graphics and graphics applications with intensive computation requirements. Aitech's M599 General Purpose GPU (GPGPU) board provides these capabilities, as well as high-performance graphics rendering capabilities and multiple video output channels, in a rugged XMC form factor. In addition to the increased throughput offered by parallel processing, GPGPU computing also allows the CPU and OS to remain responsive even when the system is under a heavy load, by offloading the intensive operations to the GPU. The M599 hosts an AMD E9171 (Polaris) GPU, and new configurations of the M599 are released as higher-performance GPUs become available. The M599 operates as a peripheral XMC board with a compatible x86 or NXP host SBC. M599 and the host SBC interconnect via a high speed PCIe Gen3 link of up to 8 lanes.
