2021: Nvidia Clara Holoscan platform presented
At the GTC conference in November, Nvidia introduced a computing platform for smart medical devices based on the NVIDIA AGX Orin mini-supercomputer. A platform that combines systems for low latency over the network, optimized libraries for data processing and artificial intelligence, and basic microservices for running streaming, visualization, and other applications in locations ranging from embedded and peripheral devices to cloud platforms.

2019: Announcement
In mid-December 2019, Nvidia introduced the platform for unmanned vehicles and robots Drive AGX Orin.
Nvidia Drive AGX Orin is a software-defined platform with a new Orin chip based on cores ARM Hercules and branded architecture. According to a press release, the new chip was the result of a "multibillion-dollar investment in," RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT developed over four years and contains 17 billion transistors. It is claimed that the accelerator provides up to 200 trillion operations per second, which is almost 7 times more than the previous version.
The chip is integrated with advanced Nvidia graphics processors and Arm Hercules CPU, as well as deep learning and computer vision accelerators. Orin chips can be programmed for specific computing tasks through open CUDA and TensorRT application programming interfaces. Orin uses the same API set as its predecessor, Xavier, which will allow you to use previous developments and solutions in different generations of one or more products.
The Drive AGX Orin platform is designed to support numerous applications based on artificial intelligence and deep neural networks, necessary for the optimal operation of unmanned cars and robots. First of all, Orin is designed for vehicles of varying degrees of autonomy: from simple assistants to fully unmanned vehicles.
As a software-defined platform DRIDriveVE AGX Orin is designed to create architecturally compatible platforms that scale from the second to the fifth level (level of complete self-management), which allows developers to create complex families of software products.
Nvidia said that the new platform is already used by the Chinese taxi ordering service Didi Chuxing Technology. The company uses Drive AGX Orin to develop its own unmanned driving technologies.
The developers note that cars in Nvidia Drive AGX Orin will be used no earlier than 2022.[1]
