As AI becomes more pervasive in computing solutions, it’s only natural that it would become part of the conversation when discussing the implementations within the world of SOSA. This webinar will examine how it is being designed into SOSA modules, with a specific focus on RF and AI solutions.

Alongside speakers from Concurrent Technologies and Elma Electronic, Chris Fadeley, Software Engineering Manager at EIZO Rugged Solutions will discuss in-depth how different components of a modular open architecture system can deliver convincing artificial intelligence solutions – where do GPGPUs excel along with their software options; what advantages do CPU and FPGA designs have in AI, and what challenges can occur when integrating a system aligned to SOSA to meet the inevitable cooling challenges.

A deeper dive will discuss how the Expansion Plane is used for PCIe GPGPU solutions, how accelerators can be implemented on FPGA-enabled plug-in cards (PICs), examine the architecture topologies are needed to select the right backplane, and review the heat dissipation required in an integrated subsystem. Specific target applications will also be addressed.

Speakers:
Chris Fadeley - Software Engineering Manager, EIZO Rugged Solutions
Nigel Forrester - Director of Business Development, Concurrent Technologies
Ken Grob - Director of Embedded Computing, Elma Electronic

Moderator: John Keller - Editor-in-Chief, Military & Aerospace Electronics
