GXF 4.1 includes Python and C++ and support for event-based scheduling. For full details, check the new NGC Collection page and the DeepStream 7 Release Notes.

Containers

DeepStream is available in three different flavors of containers:

• Triton: Single container for both x86 and Jetson. (Multi-arch)
• Samples: Single container for both x86 and Jetson.(Multi-arch)
• Development: x86-only container, including Graph Composer
• Arm Development: SBSA container for Arm based servers and systems

All dockerfiles are also available on GitHub. For full details, check the new NGC Collection page.

Product Advisory

If you’re planning to bring models that use an older version of NVIDIA® TensorRT™ (8.6.1), make sure you regenerate the INT8 calibration cache before using them with the latest release of DeepStream.

For new DeepStream developers or those not reusing old models, this step can be omitted.
