The next stop on the NVIDIA DRIVE roadmap is Atlan. During today’s opening keynote of the GPU Technology Conference , NVIDIA founder and CEO Jensen Huang unveiled the upcoming generation of AI compute for autonomous vehicles, NVIDIA DRIVE Atlan. A veritable data center on wheels, Atlan centralizes the vehicle’s entire compute infrastructure into a single system-on-a-chip. While vehicles are packing in more and more compute technology, they’re lacking the physical security that comes with data center-level processing. Atlan is a technical marvel for safe and secure AI computing, fusing all of NVIDIA’s technologies in AI, automotive, robotics, safety and BlueField data centers. The next-generation platform will achieve an unprecedented 1,000 trillion operations per second (TOPS) of performance and an estimated SPECint score of more than 100 (SPECrate2017_int) — greater than the total compute in most robotaxis today. Atlan is also the first SoC to be equipped with an NVIDIA … [Read more...] about A Data Center on Wheels: NVIDIA Unveils DRIVE Atlan Autonomous Vehicle Platform

NVIDIA Opens Up Hyperion 8 Autonomous Vehicle Platform for AV Ecosystem
The next generation of vehicles will be packed with more technology than any computing system today. And with NVIDIA DRIVE Hyperion , companies can embrace this shift to more intelligent, software-defined vehicles. Announced at GTC , the eighth-generation Hyperion platform includes the sensors, high-performance compute and software necessary for autonomous vehicle development, all verified, calibrated and synchronized right out of the box. Developing an AV — essentially a data center on wheels — requires an entirely new process. Both the hardware and software must be comprehensively tested and validated to ensure they can handle not only the real-time processing for autonomous driving, but also withstand the harsh conditions of daily driving. Hyperion is a fully operational, production-ready and open autonomous vehicle platform that cuts down the massive amount of time and cost required to outfit vehicles with the technology required for AI features and autonomous driving. … [Read more...] about NVIDIA Opens Up Hyperion 8 Autonomous Vehicle Platform for AV Ecosystem
Brain Gain: NVIDIA DRIVE Orin Now Central Computer for Intelligent Vehicles
NVIDIA DRIVE Orin, our breakthrough autonomous vehicle system-on-a-chip , is the new mega brain of the software-defined vehicle. Beyond self-driving features, NVIDIA CEO and founder Jensen Huang announced today during his GTC keynote that the SoC can power all the intelligent computing functions inside vehicles, including confidence view visualization of autonomous driving capabilities, digital clusters, infotainment and passenger interaction AI. Slated for 2022 vehicle product lines, Orin processes more than 250 trillion operations per second while achieving systematic safety standards such as ISO 26262 ASIL-D. Typically, vehicle functions are controlled by tens of electronic control units distributed throughout a vehicle. By centralizing control of these core domains, Orin can replace these components and simplify what has been an incredibly complex supply chain for automakers. “The future is one central computer — four domains, virtualized and isolated, … [Read more...] about Brain Gain: NVIDIA DRIVE Orin Now Central Computer for Intelligent Vehicles
