Crystal Group has unveiled its Arm-native rugged autonomous vehicle computer at ADAS & Autonomous Vehicle Technology Expo California. The computer features Ampere Altra 128 core CPU and Nvidia GPUs for autonomous driving, including autonomous trucks.
According to the team at Crystal and Ampere, Ampere CPUs are “cloud native” and are designed for virtualized and containerized workloads. Users can use their own software or open source including SOAFEE SDV, Open Robotics ROS 2 and Autoware Foundation autonomous driving software.
Crystal says that because it is arm-based, it is a great platform for developing and testing SDV and autonomous driving concepts now while awaiting future silicon designs. The Ampere CPU has 128 single-threaded, fixed-frequency cores, each with its own large private cache. This is available air-cooled or water-cooled and comes with dual 10GbE or dual 25GbE SPF28 LAN on motherboard.
