NVIDIA Introduces DRIVE AGX Orin — Advanced, Software-Defined Platform for Autonomous Machines
December 17 2019 - 10:02PM
GTC China -- NVIDIA today introduced
NVIDIA DRIVE AGX Orin™, a highly advanced software-defined platform
for autonomous vehicles and robots.
The platform is powered by a new system-on-a-chip (SoC) called
Orin, which consists of 17 billion transistors and is the result of
four years of R&D investment. The Orin SoC integrates
NVIDIA’s next-generation GPU architecture and Arm Hercules CPU
cores, as well as new deep learning and computer vision
accelerators that, in aggregate, deliver 200 trillion operations
per second—nearly 7x the performance of NVIDIA’s previous
generation Xavier SoC.
Orin is designed to handle the large number of applications and
deep neural networks that run simultaneously in autonomous vehicles
and robots, while achieving systematic safety standards such as ISO
26262 ASIL-D.
Built as a software-defined platform, DRIVE AGX Orin is
developed to enable architecturally compatible platforms that scale
from a Level 2 to full self-driving Level 5 vehicle, enabling OEMs
to develop large-scale and complex families of software products.
Since both Orin and Xavier are programmable through open CUDA and
TensorRT APIs and libraries, developers can leverage their
investments across multiple product generations.
“Creating a safe autonomous vehicle is perhaps society’s
greatest computing challenge,” said Jensen Huang, founder and CEO
of NVIDIA. “The amount of investment required to deliver autonomous
vehicles has grown exponentially, and the complexity of the task
requires a scalable, programmable, software-defined AI platform
like Orin.”
“NVIDIA’s long-term commitment to the transportation industry,
along with its innovative end-to-end platform and tools, has
resulted in a vast ecosystem — virtually every company working on
AVs is utilizing NVIDIA in its compute stack,” said Sam Abuelsamid,
principal research analyst at Navigant Research. “Orin looks to be
a significant step forward that should help enable the next great
chapter in this ever improving technology story.”
The NVIDIA DRIVE AGX Orin family will include a range of
configurations based on a single architecture, targeting
automakers’ 2022 production timelines.
