6U GPU accelerator has 480 CUDA cores

The VPX6-490 GPU application accelerator module features dual Fermi architecture NVIDIA GPUs with 240 CUDA cores. The module functions as a coprocessor attached to a host X86 processor board and takes advantage of the new PCIe expansion plane definitions in the VITA 65 OpenVPX standard.

The 6U OpenVPX form factor card has a pair of 240 core GPU devices, 2 Gbytes of GDDR5 memory, a 256-bit wide memory bus, and a 16-lane Gen2 PCIe interface. The card has dual DVI graphics outputs and provides an IPMI controller which give access to voltage, current and thermal sensors on the board. (From $17,000 available now.)
