What is NVIDIA Holoscan?
NVIDIA Holoscan is the domain-agnostic multimodal real-time AI sensor processing platform by NVIDIA, providing developers with the foundation to build end-to-end sensor processing pipelines. It is the only platform that guarantees application performance, reduces complexity, and accelerates time to market. With Holoscan, developers can leverage full-stack, long-term software support through NVIDIA AI Enterprise, which includes security patches, critical bug fixes, and guaranteed API stability for up to 10 years, reducing the cost of product maintenance and streamlining edge AI application deployment at scale.
What production-ready means for Holoscan developers
Holoscan 1.0, now part of NVIDIA AI Enterprise, offers production readiness to support developers throughout the product lifecycle. By utilizing the NVIDIA IGX Orin platform and NVIDIA AI Enterprise, developers benefit from a full-stack infrastructure for real-time processing of multimodal data at the edge. This includes firmware, OS, drivers, AI frameworks, GPU acceleration, SDKs, and a consistent software bill of materials (SBOM) for guaranteed long-term API stability. Additionally, Yocto enterprise support is available for embedded developers who prefer customized Yocto-based distributions for edge deployments.
Building products on NVIDIA IGX
Developers can build products on the industrial-grade NVIDIA IGX Orin platform, which provides full-stack software support for the entire stack, ensuring reliability and stability. With NVIDIA AI Enterprise, developers have a single source of support for firmware, OS, drivers, AI frameworks, GPU acceleration, and SDKs, simplifying the development process and reducing maintenance costs. For embedded developers deploying products with customized Yocto-based distributions, Holoscan Yocto efforts deliver optimized distributions for edge deployment.
Summary
NVIDIA Holoscan, in conjunction with the NVIDIA IGX Orin platform and NVIDIA AI Enterprise, offers organizations a reliable solution for edge platform validation and maintenance. By providing security patches, critical bug fixes, and guaranteed API stability, Holoscan enables developers to focus on building and deploying AI sensor processing applications without the burden of maintaining the underlying infrastructure.
