…system sectors, fielding such technologies as graphics processing units (GPUs), field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs), application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs), systems on a chip (SoCs) and CPUs. When picking the most appropriate platform for a smart sensor application, the designer must juggle a number of criteria. These range from the type of analytics to be performed, environmental constraints and energy budgets to programming flexibility, throughput requirements and cost. Designed to bring intelligence to the edge, FogHorn Systems’ edge lighting software promises to support sensor fusion, simultaneously processing multiple streams of different types of data. In addition, the company says the 2.0 version…

…product portfolio is primarily made up of CPUs and GPUs. With the acquisition of Xilinx, the company is posed to add a healthy collection FPGAs (field programmable gate arrays) and Adaptive SoCs (systems on chips) to its offerings. This morning, AMD also reported strong 2020 Q3 earnings, which partly explains the company's shopping spree. The Battle for HPC Market Share With the work station market facing stiff competition from mobile devices, tablets, and virtualization, leading chipmakers—Intel, NVIDIA, and AMD—are looking at the emerging HPC markets to replenish their lost grounds. One area of growth in HPC is the use of…

…Lovelace architecture enhancements in NVIDIA RTX graphics processing units (GPUs) with DLSS 3 technology fully integrated into the Omniverse RTX Renderer. A new AI de-noiser enables real-time 4K path tracing of massive industrial scenes. Native RTX-powered spatial integration — New extended-reality (XR) developer tools let users build spatial-computing options natively into their Omniverse-based applications. This gives users the flexibility to experience their 3D projects and virtual worlds however they like, NVIDIA said. These platform updates are showcased in Omniverse foundation applications, which are fully customizable reference applications that creators, enterprises, and developers can copy, extend, or enhance. Upgraded applications include:…

…for hazardous environments, faster training in parallel and with GPU-accelerated GEMs, and lower cost than testing in the real world.” Why don't more roboticists use simulation? “Often, it doesn't model the behavior of a robot closely enough,” replied Andrews. “Once the reality gap is too large, developers would rather go to the lab, even if that's slower, smaller-scale, and more expensive.” “With this release of NVIDIA Isaac Sim, we're delivering on incrementally closing that reality gap,” he said. Isaac Sim 2022.1 release features Isaac Cortex is a decision framework for training collaborative robots. “Program cobot tasks as easily as programming…

…scalable reference development platform using multiple graphics processing units (GPUs) for 3D simulation and collaborative design. Robot fleets to benefit from optimization The number of sites deploying autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) will increase from 9,000 in 2020 to 53,000 by 2025, estimated Interact Analysis. At the same time, supply chains have strained to keep up with accelerated e-commerce demand amid worker shortages and COVID-19 restrictions, said NVIDIA. The AI and computing challenges of AMRs are similar to those of autonomous vehicles, according to the company. In industrial facilities, robots “travel miles of aisles to roll up millions of products to…
