NVIDIA as unveiled a new development kit and mini PC
at this year’s GPU Technology Conference 2019, in the form of the NVIDIA Jetson
Nano which will be available in two versions. A US$ 99 devkit created for developers,
makers and enthusiasts and a production-ready module priced at US$ 129 for
companies looking to create mass-market edge systems.
The Jetson Nano mini PC supports high-resolution
sensors and is capable of processing many sensors in parallel as well as running
multiple modern neural networks on each sensor stream. the system also supports
many popular artificial intelligent frameworks making it easy for developers to
integrate their preferred models and frameworks into the hardware, says NVIDIA.
