Hello,  
I am new and don’t know much about NVIDIA product. I would like to perform real-time computer vision applications using a camera connected to a GPU powered station.

1. what products should I buy?
2. My program is written in Python; how can I transfer it to the GPU format?  
• I never did that before, could you please give a detail list of different steps that I should undertake.

Thank you in advance for your help

I think you need to look at gpudirect for video referenced here : [https://developer.nvidia.com/gpudirect](https://developer.nvidia.com/gpudirect) and search for certified hardware from third-parties.
