NVIDIA Unveils NVIDIA DRIVE Atlan, an AI Data Center on Wheels for Next-Gen Autonomous Vehicles
April 12 2021 - 11:56AM
GTC -- NVIDIA today revealed its
next-generation AI-enabled processor for autonomous vehicles,
NVIDIA DRIVE™ Atlan, which will deliver more than 1,000 trillion
operations per second (TOPS) and targets automakers’ 2025 models.
The NVIDIA DRIVE Atlan system-on-a-chip — the newest addition to
NVIDIA’s centralized compute roadmap for autonomous vehicles —
fuses AI and software with the latest in computing, networking and
security for unprecedented levels of performance and security.
DRIVE Atlan will include NVIDIA’s next-generation GPU
architecture, new Arm CPU cores, as well as deep learning and
computer vision accelerators. This data-center-like performance
provides automakers ample compute capabilities to build
software-defined vehicles that are richly programmable and
perpetually upgradeable through secure, over-the-air updates.
“The transportation industry needs a computing platform that it
can rely on for decades. The software investment is too immense to
repeat for each car. NVIDIA DRIVE is the most advanced AI and AV
computing platform, with rich global software and developer
ecosystems, and architecturally compatible for generations,” said
Jensen Huang, founder and CEO of NVIDIA. “Today, we are announcing
the next extension of our roadmap — our new DRIVE Atlan is truly a
technical marvel, fusing all of NVIDIA’s strengths in AI, auto,
robotics, safety and BlueField-secure data centers to deliver safe,
autonomous-driving fleets.”
Data-Center-Grade Security TechnologyDRIVE
Atlan will integrate an NVIDIA BlueField® data processing unit
(DPU), which delivers a broad range of advanced networking, storage
and security services to support complex compute and AI workloads
found in autonomous vehicles. BlueField offers full
data-center-infrastructure-on-a-chip programmability, armed with a
safe security enclave to prevent data breaches and cyberattacks.
DRIVE Atlan is designed from the ground up to handle the large
number of AI applications that run simultaneously in autonomous
machines, safely and securely.
Continuous NVIDIA DRIVE Improvement Across
GenerationsThe company’s original processor for autonomous
driving, NVIDIA DRIVE Xavier™ (30 TOPS) is found in production cars
and trucks today, while NVIDIA DRIVE Orin™ (254 TOPS) has already
been selected by leading automakers for production timelines
starting in 2022. NVIDIA DRIVE Atlan will extend the NVIDIA DRIVE
family of SoCs’ leadership for vehicles’ 2025 production targets
and beyond.
Since NVIDIA DRIVE Atlan, Orin and Xavier are all programmable
through open CUDA® and TensorRT™ APIs and libraries, developers can
leverage their investments across multiple product generations as
they establish their future AV production roadmaps.
