To build a true platform carries a responsibility that not all enterprise products are ready to take on — to give as much as you get, listen more than you speak, and honor the trust it takes to build on top of your product. But in return, you get more than you could ever accomplish alone.
Nathan Crimp, 22, used the stunt to raise money for Dogs Trust, which shelters abandoned animals.
After replacing faulty seals that resulted in the second scrubbed SLS launch attempt on September 3, NASA is ready to proceed with a full-scale cryogenic tanking test of its megarocket on Wednesday, which you can watch live right here.
In a few years, people in California will have a new choice for what to do with their loved ones’ bodies after death: put them in their garden.
Sony is back with another party speaker, one so big it has wheels and a handle so that you can move it around. That’s not even its most notable feature, though.
David Bruckner’s new entry in the long-running, Clive Barker-adapted Hellraiser series has a new trailer, and it promises a film filled with all the puzzle-box terrors and Cenobite demands (including our best look yet at Jamie Clayton’s Pinhead) that Hulu can accommodate.
The National Hot Rod Association (NHRA) has banned some cars for breaching its speed and time limits, which includes the zippy Tesla Model S Plaid. Here’s why.
I’ve held out for about a year now, but the Windows 11 2022 Update might be what finally makes me upgrade from Windows 10. Microsoft has announced all the new features coming to the next version of Windows 11, including improvements to the user interface that promise to help streamline the OS experience. There are…
A year ago, reMarkable announced that some of its E Ink tablets’ best features would be locked behind a monthly subscription fee for new users, but today the company has dramatically reduced the price of that subscription, while making some previously locked away features now available for free.
NVIDIA’s GPU Technology Conference isn’t only about gaming graphics cards. The company had other news up its sleeve, including in the autonomous vehicle space. During the GTC keynote, NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang announced a system-on-chip (SoC) called Drive Thor. NVIDIA says it designed the chip using the latest advancements in graphics and processing to provide 2,000 teraflops of performance, all while keeping costs down.
NVIDIA says that Drive Thor can unify all the various functions of vehicles — including infotainment, the digital dashboard, sensors, parking and autonomous operation — for greater efficiency. Vehicles with the chipset will be able to run Linux, QNX and Android simultaneously. Given the vast processing power that autonomous vehicle operations require, automakers can even use two of the Drive Thor chipsets in tandem by employing a NVLink-C2C chip interconnect technology to have them running a single operating system.
In addition, NVIDIA claims that the SoC marks a significant leap forward in “deep neural network accuracy.” The chipset has a transformer engine, a new addition to the NVIDIA GPU Tensor Core. “Transformer networks process video data as a single perception frame, enabling the compute platform to process more data over time,” NVIDIA says. It noted that the SoC can boost inference performance of transformer deep neural networks by up to nine times, “which is paramount for supporting the massive and complex AI workloads associated with self driving.”
The SoC follows NVIDIA’s Drive Orin chipset and it replaces Drive Atlan. It will be used in vehicles that go into production starting in 2025. The first customer NVIDIA has lined up is Geely-owned EV brand Zeekr, which is already using Orin chipsets for level 3 automation. Meanwhile, NVIDIA has signed up two more Drive Orin partners: automakers Xpeng and QCraft.
