NVIDIA Holoscan
NVIDIA Holoscan accelerates edge AI development by getting sensor data to the GPU for real-time inference.
Get to know the Holoscan Platform
Holoscan SDK
Start building end-to-end sensor-processing pipelines with your application framework. Holoscan streamlines these pipelines with high-performance, user-friendly programming options and production readiness. It features seamless I/O integration, bring-your-own (BYO) sensor, AI model inference, and model capabilities.
Holoscan Sensor Bridge
Integrate heterogeneous sensor data seamlessly with Holoscan Sensor Bridge, which provides a critical link between high-throughput sensor data and the GPU. It standardizes and manages data ingestion from a variety of sensor interfaces—like camera feeds, ultrasound, or endoscopic video—ensuring low-latency, synchronized, and reliable transfer of data for real-time AI processing.
NVIDIA IGX ORIN
Deploy on production-ready hardware with the NVIDIA IGX Orin, an industrial-grade platform that combines enterprise-level hardware, software, and support. While Holoscan SDK offers flexibility in deployment on your target device, IGX allows companies to focus on application development and realize the benefits of AI faster.
