CES 2016: The Nvidia ανακοίνωσε σήμερα την Nvidia Drive PX2. Σύμφωνα με τον CEO Jen-Hsun Huang, είναι ουσιαστικά ένας supercomputer for your car, made of 12 CPU cores and four GPUs, all liquid-cooled.
This equates to approximately 8 TeraFLOPS of processing power. It is as powerful as 6 cards graphics Titan X, and the company compares it to "about 150 MacBook Pros" for self-driving applications.
Of course, that much processing power is needed only for an extensive Nvidia open learning network - called DriveNet. DriveNet is essentially a way for computers to learn to better recognize objects.
A demonstration video showed how the car could detect objects in real time without relying on cloud processing.
Nvidia says that the "marriage" of GPUs and CUDA processing technology can greatly speed up learning processes (20 to 40 times). In other words, learning a process that would once take a month would take just one day.
The first company to implement the autonomous platform driver based on Nvidia Drive PX2 will be Volvo, followed by: Audi, Mercedez-Benz and Daimler.
