VPX enables greater performance and connectivity in small form factors
With the rising popularity of small form factors in the face of growing military SWaP concerns, the 3U form factor, particularly CompactPCI, has made strong market inroads. However, VPX (VITA 46) is emerging as a more viable contender than 3U CompactPCI, providing increased speeds, more bandwidth, and compatibility via high-speed serial fabrics in mission computers and other critical technology.

VXS and VPX: Cooling these hot (literally) new architectures in ATRs
The Air Transport Rack (ATR), aka Austin Trumbull Radio, has been the packaging format of choice for commercial and military avionics platforms. Although the mechanical configuration of the ATR has remained essentially unchanged throughout its long operational life, manufacturers have had to respond to the challenges raised by the ever-increasing power requirements of the boards installed in the units. The higher power levels of VXS, VPX, and ...

VXS versus VPX: Either -- or both?
VME-based embedded subsystems users have, over the past couple of years, come to face decisions they did not have to previously. For example, the advent of serial switched fabrics and their promise of significantly enhanced performance is causing those users to look at alternative paths into the future. In the VME world, those paths are represented by VXS and VPX. However, VXS and VPX each provide their own unique benefits and trade-offs.

When half isn't exactly half: 3U vs. 6U VPX
3U VME, once a staple of the architecture, faded from the mainstream many years ago. However, the overall benefits of a 3U format have led architects back to 3U several times over the years, with the latest offering being VPX in both 3U and 6U formats. The trade-offs in choosing 3U are not as simple as “half” of 6U. Thomas explores some of the considerations in selecting a 3U versus 6U VPX format.

Curtiss Wright VITE 46 Reference Library
The VITA 46 advanced module format is being developed within the framework of the VITA Standards Organization by the VITA 46 Working Group. The VITA 46 format is designed to support system configurations requiring extensive serial- switched fabric interconnection along with other high-speed serial technologies such as digital video, Serial ATA, and FPGA interconnects, etc. while at the same time offering compatibility with today’s highly...

VPX @ Wikipedia
VPX, formerly known as VITA 46, is a proposed ANSI standard that provides VMEbus-based systems with support for switched fabrics over a new high speed connector. Defined by the VITA (VME International Trade Association) working group (comprising major industry organizations such as Boeing, Curtiss Wright, GE Fanuc Embedded Systems, Mercury Computer Systems and Northrop Grumman), it has been designed specifically with defense applications in...
