An Industrial GPU computer is a rugged, edge computing solution that utilizes a dedicated GPU (Graphics Processing Unit) card for computational intensive applications requiring advanced image processing and machine vision/intelligence. In addition to a performance boost from the GPU, an industrial GPU computer will also have all the key requirements of what makes up an industrial computer, such as support for high shock/vibration ratings, wide operating temperatures, and over voltage/reverse polarity protection. The industrial GPU computer is transforming how factory automation and smart manufacturing verticals are utilizing computational analysis and machine intelligence in real-time.

Both GPUs (Graphics Processing Unit) and CPUs (Central Processing Unit) have many traits in common; they are both specifically designed microprocessors to handle various tasks. The key difference is HOW they process these tasks. In a computer, the CPU is often referred to as the brain of the system; it is the central processing unit which handles all computing tasks. A GPU, while similar to a CPU, is engineered specifically to process or render graphics. As such, a GPU can work in conjunction with the CPU to help it offload graphics intensive tasks, while freeing up the CPU for other non-graphics related jobs.

NVIDIA GEFORCE GTX

The CPU is ideal for serialized, generic tasks, which makes it well-suited for common business or productive applications such as Word, Excel, or a web browser. The number of cores in a given CPU is limited, up to 28 cores for the latest Xeon server class CPU. Conversely, the GPU comes with hundreds or even thousands of cores, which is designed for parallelized, specific tasks; the GPU is optimized for intensive computational applications such as image processing or AI.

As an example, let's examine the fundamentals of image processing. The 4K image of the clock consists of 8.2 million discrete pixels (4K resolution is 3,840 x 2,160, which gives us 8.2 million pixels). From a high level, in order to process the image, we will need to perform some type of computation to each individual pixel. If this task is given to a CPU, with its limited number of cores, the processing time will take very long, as the CPU does not have enough cores to handle the task in parallel. The GPU, which its thousands of specialized cores, can complete the task up to 50-100X faster due to its parallel architecture. This makes the GPU the optimal microprocessor to handle tasks that require parallelism with a high degree of computation.

We begin with a proven embedded system that is engineered to withstand extreme shock and vibration, along with a wide operating temperature range; the inclusion of an industrial class GPU will enable the system to operate reliability in industrial/manufacturing sectors, with the GPU handling AI or image processing applications that require massive parallelism.

One way to compare the performance of various GPUs is by their TFLOP rating. TFLOP stands for "teraflop," which is a measurement of the GPU to performance one trillion floating point operations per second. By adding a GPU to an industrial system, another critical variable we need to consider is the TDP (Thermal Design Power) rating of the GPU. The TDP rating tells us the maximum heat, in watts, generated by the GPU when operating at maximum capacity. This is key in determining the operational temperature range of an industrial GPU system, which should be optimally in the range of -25C to 60C for factory/manufacturing averse conditions. By looking at the Performance versus TDP chart below, we can see the direct correlation between these two values: as the GPU performance increases, so does its corresponding TDP value. When designing an industrial GPU system, there is a fine balance to strike between GPU performance versus overall system operating temperature.

The difference between a GPU and CPU are their computing architecture and task specializations. CPUs are responsible for sequential processing, meaning that it utilizes a smaller number of cores for managing tasks and intensive single-thread applications. GPUs, however, have significantly more cores and leverage parallel processing for simultaneously processing multiple tasks. CPUs are responsible for running the operating system and managing applications while GPUs process machine learning workloads and rendering graphics.

The key differences between NVIDIA’s professional and consumer GPUs are: workload optimization, memory configuration, and power-to-performance balancing. Professional NVIDIA GPUs, such as Quadro, are catered towards processing AI workloads with relatively lower TDP, while consumer NVIDIA GPUs, like RTX, are focused on general-purpose processing and can have much higher TDP.

Industrial GPU computers work with edge AI by providing the necessary components to enable and process complex workload applications.

First, these computers are purpose-built to withstand the rigorous conditions and environments at the edge. Factory floors and outdoor environments are generally not suitable for consumer desktops as they will eventually fail. Premio’s industrial GPU computers are UL certified, meaning they have undergone thorough testing and validation to ensure safety standard compliance, and select computers have compliance with MIL-STD-810G for shock and vibration.

Secondly, Industrial GPU computers utilize a heterogeneous computing approach to leverage optimized performance through a mixture of specific components, like the CPU and GPU. GPUs are efficient and effective at parallel processing, while the CPU’s strengths are in sequential processing.

Third is IoT connectivity. There are multiple IoT devices in the form of cameras, sensors, and such that need to connect to a centralized computer to process all the incoming data. Industrial GPU computers provide compatible I/O to connect and even power IoT devices.

By balancing both rugged reliability, processing power, and IoT connectivity, industrial GPU computers help drive complex edge AI workloads at the rugged edge.
