Catalyst PXIe-GPU

Eliminates the Need for Separate GPU Servers — COTS PXIe-GPUs from Ampere to Blackwell for Signal, Image & Video Processing and ML / DL / LLM Inference & Training

Catalyst PXIe-GPUs are COTS products that bring cost-effective, easy-to-program, high-performance GPU compute acceleration and advanced graphics capabilities of NVIDIA professional GPUs, from Ampere to Ada Lovelace to Blackwell, to the PXIe/CPCIe platform. The Catalyst PXIe-GPU family spans entry-level RTX A1000 through high-performance Ada RTX 4000 SFF and Blackwell RTX Pro 4000 SFF, plus the NVIDIA L4 Data Center GPU for AI inference workloads.

Unmatched GPU Compute Performance — Where Data is Acquired

The Catalyst-GPU family now spans from the entry-level NVIDIA RTX A1000 (6.7 FP32 TFLOPs, 8 GB GDDR6) through the Ada Lovelace RTX 2000 SFF (12.0 TFLOPs, 16 GB) and RTX 4000 SFF (19.2 TFLOPs, 20 GB), up to the new Blackwell RTX Pro 2000 SFF (17.0 TFLOPs, 16 GB GDDR7) and RTX Pro 4000 SFF (~38.4 TF32 TFLOPs, 24 GB GDDR7). All models fit in a single PXIe/CPCIe slot at 50–70 W TGP, compatible with all NI and 3rd-party PXIe chassis at 50–72 W TGP.

ML/DL AI Acceleration

Catalyst-GPUs deliver dramatic AI inference and training acceleration over CPU-only PXIe embedded controllers. Ada and Blackwell generation GPUs add dedicated 4th-gen Tensor Cores and hardware-accelerated ray tracing. The NVIDIA L4 Data Center GPU (30.3 TFLOPs FP32, 24 GB GDDR6, 72 W) is purpose-built for AI inference, video analytics, and mixed-precision workloads in thermally constrained PXIe chassis.

Improved Accuracy & RBW for LPI Signal Processing

Catalyst-GPU supports arbitrary-length FFT, PSD, Correlation, and other DSP algorithms. In most FPGAs, the longest practical FFT lengths are typically 8k points. In Catalyst-GPUs, 1M-point and longer FFTs are practical and may be executed in real-time or near-real-time. With longer FFTs, Low Probability of Intercept (LPI) signals become readily detectable and characterizable.

LPI Signal Detection — Arbitrary Length FFT

Same signal captured with 8k-point FFT (left) vs. 1M-point FFT (right) on Catalyst-GPU. Longer FFTs dramatically
reduce RBW, resolving signals buried in the noise floor.
