A179 Lightning | Rugged Fan-less Xavier™ NX AI Supercomputer

The A179 Lightning is the smallest and most powerful Rugged fan-less AI supercomputer based on NVIDIA Xavier™ NX, brings AI performance to the edge, available with the powerful NVIDIA Jetson Xavier™ NX System-on-Module. Its Volta GPU with 384 CUDA cores and 48 Tensor cores reaches 21 TOPS INT8 at a remarkable level of energy efficiency, providing all the power needed for AI-based local processing right where you need it, next to your sensors. Two dedicated NVDLA (NVIDIA Deep-Learning Accelerator) engines provide an interface for deep learning applications. With its compact SFF size, the A179 Lightning is the most advanced solution for AI, deep learning, and video and signal processing for the next generation of autonomous vehicles, surveillance and targeting systems, EW systems, drones, wearable and many other applications.
