Hi,
In the GTC presentation “An Introduction to Building Humanoid Robots” I didn’t see NVDLA in the enhanced accelerators section. Does this mean NVDLA will not be available on Thor?
No, I don’t think that’s deprecated, just not listed there.
May I know your concerns if that’s not supported?
Hi, I am writing software optimized for NVDLA, so if it is no longer included in the next generation, I would rather know sooner than later so that I can look at alternatives. Do you know when we will know more about this?
Thanks!
By the confirmation from internal team, there is no DLA in Thor. With the rise of Transformer Models, we enabled more performance on the GPU. There is a transformer engine in the GPU that is optimized for Transformer Models, and there is PVA and OFA for offloading CV Algorithms.
