NVIDIA® Jetson™ TX1 the world’s most advanced system for embedded visual computing, delivering the highest performance, the latest technology, and the best development platform.

UNMATCHED PERFORMANCE

Jetson™ TX1 is the world’s first supercomputer on a module, capable of delivering the performance and power efficiency needed for the latest visual computing applications. It’s built around the revolutionary NVIDIA Maxwell™ architecture with 256 CUDA cores delivering over 1 TeraFLOPs of performance. With  64-bit CPUs, 4K video endcode and decode capabilities, and a camera interface capable of 1400MPix/s, Jetson TX1 is the best system for embedded deep learning, computer vision, graphics, and GPU computing.

THE LATEST TECHNOLOGY

The Jetson SDK supports the latest drivers, libraries, and APIs.

cuDNN is a CUDA-accelerated library for deep learning. For both training and inference, it’s compatible with many industry standard frameworks, including Caffe, Theano, and Torch.

VisionWorks is a CUDA-accelerated library and framework for computer vision. It’s an implementation of the OpenVX 1.1 specification with additional NVIDIA extensions.

Jetson TX1 supports the latest graphics drivers and APIs, including OpenGL 4.5, OpenGL ES 3.1, and Vulkan.

Jetson TX1 is built around an NVIDIA Maxwell processor, which means full support for NVIDIA CUDA 7.0. CUDA turns the GPU into a general-purpose processor, giving developers access to tremendous parallel performance and power efficiency.
