CUDA X
Their first reveal is CUDA X, built to run on RTX, DXG, HGX, and AGX. Covering Driving, Medical Imaging, and Metropolis to name but a few. The last one being their tech for smart cities integration. A single set of libraries that creates a less fractured ecosystem for the technologies. Of course, all tuned to run on a wide range of Nvidia hardware. Putting the tools in the hands to a wider range of users and lowering the cost of deployment seems to be their end-goal.
PRADA
Programmable Acceleration Domains Architecture. It just rolls off the tongue, doesn’t it. Again, like CUDA X, it’s a merger of all their tech, putting it all under one acronym and ethos.
