Introduction 1
1 Introduction
Embedded graphics enable system developers to boost the performance of a wide range of workloads, including
medical imaging, image analysis, compute acceleration, and artificial intelligence (AI). Leveraging graphics
processing units (GPUs), embedded graphics can be used to increase application speed and accuracy, as well as
decrease latency. Many embedded system developers use embedded graphics solutions in real-world applications
from the medical and manufacturing industries, to traffic management. System developers, OEMs, and system
integrators can more easily deploy embedded graphics with support from ADLINK’s large portfolio of computing
products designed in a wide range of form factors. The AMSTX-CF Series Micro-STX motherboard features a
socket-type CPU and support for Scalable Graphics Processing Ranging from Pascal to Turing GPUs in a compact
form factor. Combining its strong expertise serving embedded developers and its close relationship with NVIDIA,
ADLINK is delivering high-performance, long-life embedded graphics solutions for a variety of market segments.
