1.1 Overview
The Spectra PowerBox 500 is a rugged GPU computing platform supporting embedded MXM GPU
expansion. It has all the features required for a compact, reliable, and high-performance computing
system for field applications in machine vision, image processing, and artificial intelligence.
Based on the latest Intel®Coffee Lake-R platform, Spectra PowerBox 500 is able to equip with
9th/8th generation workstation grade processor up to 8 cores and dual DDR4-2666 SO-DIMM
memory up to 64 GB, that can deliver outstanding computing performance for high-end applications.
The compact GPU system, sized at 260 mm x 200 mm x 85 mm, can accommodate 1 x standard
MXM 3.1 Type A/B form factor GPU module slot. It allows GPU-accelerated technology from
NVIDIA®or AMD® to speed up intensive workloads by executing massive parallel processing,
delivering an optimized performance for demanding embedded vision computing applications.
The unique thermal design is adopted for Spectra PowerBox 500 to maximize the heat dissipation
efficiency and allows Spectra PowerBox 500 to thrive in extreme environmental conditions. The
