Get Started With Nsight Deep Learning Designer
Nsight Deep Learning (DL) Designer is an integrated development environment that helps developers efficiently design and optimize deep neural networks for high-performance inference. It's built atop the industry standard ONNX model format and popular inference solutions like TensorRT™ and ONNX Runtime.

FAQ
We currently support Windows, Linux, and L4T.
Nsight DL Designer has a host/target architecture. The host is the main GUI for model editing and launching profiling activities while the target runs the profilers. Therefore, no GPU is required if only model editing is needed; however, running profilers on a target does require a GPU.
No, Nsight DL Designer is a model design and optimization tool for inference. Training is not something within the scope of Nsight DL Designer.
Nsight DL Designer currently supports only ONNX models. We do have direct import of PyTorch models on our roadmap.
No, Nsight DL Designer uses its own copy of ONNX Runtime and TensorRT.
Yes, Nsight DL Designer’s built-in profilers depend on its own copy of ONNX Runtime and TensorRT that are downloaded from an NVIDIA server.
Yes, Nsight DL Designer’s built-in TensorRT profiler does require recent GPU generations with Tensor Cores.
Nsight DL Designer is best suited for developers who need and are willing to make changes to a model’s architecture to reach the targeted inference performance
