NvSciSync

The NvMedia APIs provide true hardware acceleration of image processing using hardware engines on NVIDIA DRIVE AGX devices.

NvSciSync extends the NvMedia imaging components to support synchronization among the imaging components, NVIDIA® CUDA® components, and NvSciSync-based applications. NvSciSync supports imaging components that are targeted for Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) and autonomous application development. They do not support NvMedia video components.

Imaging components that have NvSciSync extensions support:

  • Accepting an NvSciSyncFence object when the NvMedia engine is used as a waiter
  • Returning an NvSciSyncFence object when the NvMedia engine is used as a signaler

An NvSciSyncFence object is a snapshot of an NvSciSync object's state.
