Nvidia Announces Jetson TX2: Parker Comes to Nvidia ’s Embedded System Kit
- ipunchghosts 10y agoI will also add that we use the TX1 in our unmanned vehicles all the time and it works great. EDIT 1, I mean real UAVs like the kinds that fly over 3km high, not grad student projects (no offence, i was once one of them too). We use connect tech for a ruggedized carrier board.
- danielvf 10y agoThis sounds super cool. I want to know more, do you guys have a web site?
- ipunchghosts 10y agoWe do not.

- ipunchghosts 10y agoWouldn't it be nice if keras 2.0 came out this week too?
- ipunchghosts 10y agoBased on my comparisons of Maxwell core to Pascal core efficiency, this should results in roughly a 1.4x speed up of FP32.
- pilooch 10y agoAn NVIDIA representative a week ago told me 2x but that might be a bit high, I'd take it as a cap, and maybe it is the case using tensorRT.
- ipunchghosts 10y agoOur NVIDIA rep told us early January that 1.5x was a reasonable boost for us to expect.
- emcq 10y agoIf you are memory bound the increased throughput from 64 bit to 128 bit wide LPDDR4 bus would likely get you close to 2x.
- ipunchghosts 10y agoyes, you are right if you are memory bound!
- nojvek 10y agoDoes the TX2 boards have gpio connectors? I've been meaning to upgrade my rasberry pi robot into a more serious unmanned vehicle.
- nkassis 10y agoYes according to the spec here: http://www.nvidia.com/object/embedded-systems-dev-kits-modules.html http://www.nvidia.com/object/embedded-systems-dev-kits-modul...
- vivekchandsrc 10y agoLike the memory bump, not clear how many CUDA cores are there..
- mtgx 10y ago256, same as before. But they are Pascal, which, at 14nm, is 2x more efficient than 28nm Maxwell.
- Symmetry 10y agoIt used to be the case that efficiency scaled reliably with feature size like that. Dennard scaling has broken down since the mid 2000s, however. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dennard_scaling https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dennard_scaling
- lvoudour 10y ago>With the dev kit leading the charge for Jetson TX2, NVIDIA will be selling it for $599 retail/$299 education, the same price the Jetson TX1 dev kit launched at back in 2015. 2 years later and the TX 1 dev kit still costs ~500$. Now that pre-orders for the TX 2 are open, shouldn't the price go down significantly? I'd really like to try it but the price is too steep IMO
- intrasight 10y agoThey are targeting people building autonomous cars and UAVs. Not targeting hobbyists. For someone doing this for real work, this is inexpensive. I am actually surprised it is only $600. However I'll also say that I'd like one and would be more likely to buy if it was $200. I have a Jetson TK1, but I got that for free when they first came out.
- kogepathic 10y ago> I have a Jetson TK1, but I got that for free when they first came out. How did you manage that? Were you attending a conference where they were handing them out or something? Although I have to say my appetite for niche ARM boards has diminished significantly since I bought the PandaBoard ES and found the support from TI to be very poor. Had to send my first board back for repair under RMA because apparently the HDMI connection cannot be hot plugged (or you damage the board) even though hotplug is part of the friggin HDMI spec.
- paulmd 10y agoThe TK1 boards (at least) have their own set of problems too. I was at a conference where one of the vendors was showing off a little stack of TK1s he was using as a cluster... but apparently it needed to warm up before the GPU would work properly.
- intrasight 10y ago>How did you manage that They had a program where you submitted a very brief description of a project that you wished to pursue and they would send you a board. I also have several of these niche ARM boards - collecting dust mostly.
- Symmetry 10y agoHas anybody seen any data on how the Denver-2 application cores perform?
- wmf 10y agoNo, because approximately nobody could get them until now.
- fxj 10y agoIsn't the TX1 almost identical to the nvidia shield tv? So why is it so expensive then? ($599 vs $199)
- intrasight 10y agoIt's a low-volume (relative to Shield) developer platform
- morganvachon 10y agoThe Shield TV is a loss-leader. It is sold primarily as a gaming platform for Nvidia's subscription based game store.

- fla 10y agoI've recently tested Unreal Engine demos on the TX1 and must admit the result are really impressive for such a small device.
