These single board computers are compact, self-contained systems that integrate all essentials like a processor, memory, storage, and input/output ports on a single circuit board. They have a wide fan base for their versatility, cost effectiveness and energy efficiency. Hobbyist projects, educational uses, and embedded applications all prefer using this kind of computer.
Understanding Single Board Computers - SBCs
A single board computer is a computer system assembled and integrated onto a single circuit board. The SBC integrates elements of the microprocessor, memory, and input/output interfaces, thus disposing of any separate componentry. They come out to be small in size, cheap, and really easy to work with; consequently, SBCs fit well in use cases starting from educational tools to embedded systems.
NVIDIA has just announced a compact and affordable supercomputer, the Jetson Orin Nano Super Developer Kit, which would take the democratisation of generative AI capabilities among developers to a whole new level and that hobbyists or students. It introduces significant performance improvements over the previous generation that will democratise advanced AI development.
Enhanced Performance at an Affordable Price
The Jetson Orin Nano Super is said to raise generative AI inference performance by up to 1.7 times, reaching 67 INT8 TOPS. It also boosts memory bandwidth by 50% to 102GB/s from its predecessor. These improvements will allow developers to run popular AI models more efficiently and enable the building of LLM chatbots, visual AI agents, and AI-driven robots.
Compact Design for Versatile Applications
Despite its small form factor, the Jetson Orin Nano Super still has enough juice to run multiple concurrent AI application pipelines. It has a 6-core
