Last Updated 2 years ago

We are providing different computing units on the platform in order to support different architectures and computational needs.

For a quick decision check the following suggestions, otherwise please have a look at the tables below:

  • If you are new to the platform and want to explore what is available, select Jetson AGX.
  • If you need to perform data analysis with small to medium data sets, select Jetson AGX.
  • If you need to perform data analysis with big data sets, select 32 vCPU Intel x86-64
  • If you are learning the fundamentals of machine learning, select Jetson AGX
  • If you need to perform machine learning with small to medium data sets, select Jetson AGX
  • If you need to perform machine learning with big data sets, select 72 vCPU Intel x86-64
  • If you need a GPU with a large memory and performance is secondary, select Jetson AGX
  • If you need a GPU with a good performance and memory is secondary, select 72 vCPU Intel x86-64
  • If you need to perform single-core computing, select 8 vCPU Intel x86-64
  • If you need to run Windows or Intel x86-64 specific applications, select 8 vCPU Intel x86-64
  • If you need to run Windows or Intel x86-64 specific applications that require large memory, select 32 vCPU Intel x86-64
