Core Avionics & Industrial LLC Announces their 25th Worldwide Design Win for the E4690 High Performance Graphics Processor in Commercial and Military Avionics Applications
Tampa, Florida, December 13, 2011. Core Avionics & Industrial LLC (CoreAVI) achieves a significant milestone with twenty-five program design wins worldwide from aerospace manufacturers who are deploying the AMD Radeon™ E4690 Graphics Processor Unit (GPU) into their next-generation high performance cockpit display systems. Customers include leading avionics manufacturers, such as Lockheed Martin and SAAB.
The AMD Radeon™ E4690 provides rich graphics and video functionality and scalable power-performance ratios that are ideal for avionics environments. This remarkable GPU provides the best performance available to mil-aero manufacturers who are deploying high performance graphics in safety critical cockpit displays.
The success of CoreAVI’s launch of the E4690 into the avionics and defense market is due to their industry-specific product and support services to mil-aero manufacturers, such as 20-year product supply programs, industrial temperature screening and qualification of the graphics processor for mil-aero environments. CoreAVI also provides DO-254 hardware certification support and field-proven DO-178B certifiable graphics drivers for deployment of the E4690 in system configurations that employ real-time operating systems.
The need for real-time situational awareness data in avionics and military systems continues to fuel the demand for high performance graphics systems. CoreAVI’s programs enable the deployment of the E4690 GPU in commercial and military avionics systems that feature high resolution graphical displays and real-time 3D “synthetic vision” graphics output. These displays are integral to the advanced capabilities of tomorrow’s high performance aircraft electronics and can combine data such as radar, terrain mapping and FLIR signature on a single large display. The AMD Radeon™ E4690 has been adopted in a wide variety of avionics applications that include legacy upgrades as well as next-generation fixed wing passenger and freight aircraft, helicopters and ground based control platforms.
“We are pleased with CoreAVI’s success in applying their expertise and value-added services to satisfy the special requirements of their targeted markets with the Radeon E4690,” said Buddy Broeker, Director, AMD Embedded Solutions Group.
“Since the release of the AMD Radeon™ E4690 last year, we have experienced rapid adoption of the product into our primary markets,” said Lee Melatti, CEO of CoreAVI. “The performance of AMD’s GPU design combined with CoreAVI’s efficient device drivers for real time operating systems and DO-178B certification support has been the key to this adoption.”
