 |  Nvidia's Jetson board is out Nvidia's Jetson TK1 - dubbed as the first supercomputer for developing embedded applications and devices, is finally shipping. Writing in his bog Nvidia's Will Park announced yesterday that the board, and will be available at Newegg or Microcenter for $192. The kit contains the board, an AC adaptor with power cord, a USB cable for flashing, and a quick start guide. Park said that Jetson TK1 is a great development platform for computer vision and CUDA applications for robotics, medicine, security, automotive, and defence applications, among others. The board is based around the new Kepler-based Tegra K1, which was revealed earlier this year. The chip is packed with 192 CUDA cores that can be used for general purpose processing when not in use for graphics rendering, delivering more than 300 Gigaflops of computing power. Another important part of the board is the fact that it is Nvidia's first mobile chip that is CUDA capable. "All of Tegra K1's power can be unlocked with CUDA, the same pervasive, easy-to-use parallel processing platform used on Kepler-powered workstations and supercomputers," Park said. http://news.techeye.net/chips/nvidia...n-board-is-out |
