Chapter 1 - Introduction
The DuraCOR 312 is an ultra-small form factor (USFF) modular mission computer built around the high-
performance, yet power efficient NVIDIA® Jetson™ industrial Jetson® TX2i “supercomputer-on-a
module” integrated in a miniature rugged chassis with MIL-grade high-density connectors. Combining
powerful NVIDIA Pascal™/CUDA-core GPU signal processing with 64-bit hex-core ARMv8
heterogeneous multi-processing (HMP) for size, weight, power and cost (SWaP-C) sensitive mobile,
airborne, ground, manned and unmanned vehicle and sensor platforms, the unit integrates a massively
parallel, many-core architecture boasting one of the highest computing FLOPS-per-watt architectures on
the market. Thanks to the unit’s Pascal GPU architecture (supporting Max-Q and Max-P dynamic energy
profiles), larger memory bandwidth, and support for CANbus, the DuraCOR 312 can deliver up to twice
the performance or power efficiency of TX1-based systems together with native vehicle bus interfaces.
The unit also deliver an unparalleled modular system design, boasting multiple Mini-PCIe I/O card slots,
high-speed M.2 internal storage, removable SATA Flash SSD capabilities, and an aerospace-grade
power supply supporting 50ms power hold-up in a fan-less IP67-rated mechanical package designed for
wide temperatures and harsh shock and vibration.
