NVIDIA has a significant presence in the field of neural networks and artificial intelligence with its hardware. Proof of this is its wonderful NVIDIA board jetson nano to develop projects based on artificial neural networks and AI, whether you are a learner or if you want to develop something more serious.
With Jetson Nano you will not have to spend large amounts of money to access hardware for this type of project, but you have one development board of just over € 100. A relatively low price if you take into account what other similar systems cost and for everything that this board offers ...
What is Jetson Nano?
Nvidia Jetson Nano is a project that allows the development of AI systems with an affordable price and a reduced size. In other words, it is "the Arduino" of the world of artificial neural networks. That is why it is gaining popularity and there are already numerous projects based on it.
With this development board you can create several projects, both for IoT applications, as for others based on robotics, intelligent systems that act correctly evaluating a series of conditions, deep learning, object recognition and artificial vision, etc. And all with a small PCB of only a few centimeters ...
Of course, your development kit It is compatible with Linux, so you can develop with NVIDIA Jetson Nano from your favorite distro. In addition, it will use such popular projects as open source PyTorch and TensorFlow.
Technical characteristics
NVIDIA Jetson Nano has some technical characteristics quite striking, with a capacity of 472 GFLOPs, a not inconsiderable performance for its small size and price and that is powerful enough to run a large number of AI algorithms fluently. You can even run multiple different neural networks simultaneously for different purposes.
The rest of characteristics What you should know about NVIDIA Jetson Nano are:
