D3 Engineering announces its DesignCore NVIDIA Jetson SerDes Sensor Interface Card for the NVIDIA Jetson Xavier and Jetson TX1/TX2 Developer Kits. Engineers can use the card to easily interface multiple cameras and other sensors to the Jetson platform for realistic benchtop evaluation and rapid proof-of-concept development. The two most popular SerDes standards are both available […]

New GPU architecture features better accelerated ray tracing, AI inferencing
NVIDIA today reinvented computer graphics with the launch of the NVIDIA Turing GPU architecture. Turing features new RT Cores to accelerate ray tracing and new Tensor Cores for AI inferencing which, together for the first time, make real-time ray tracing possible. These two engines — along with more powerful compute for simulation and enhanced rasterization — usher in a new […]
Gallery: Neat tech on display at ADAS & Autonomous Vehicles USA
A focused forum on the here-and-now of self-driving technology held in Novi, Mich., staged by TU-Automotive, featured presentations by Tier 1 suppliers, researchers, and automakers. Also, there were a few displays of interesting technology. Here are a few examples of what was there to be seen. NEXT PAGE: A washer system for car cameras
GPUs: Not just for graphics anymore
Graphics Processing Units (GPUs) are special processors that can rapidly process repetitive computations. GPUs were originally designed for rendering performance-hungry display graphics to take excess load off of CPUs. GPUs can be characterized by extremely fast computing power, especially in repetitive computations. Within the past decade, GPUs are increasingly used in applications that require […]
The difference between microprocessors and application processors
Sometimes terminology changes faster than the technology it applies to. That’s arguably the case for the term application processor. Specifically, an application processor is a special kind of microprocessor. The application processor moniker came out of the cellular industry. In a mobile device, it refers to a chip used for the primary processing of cellular […]
