Nvidia Parker - new generation single-chip system for the automotive segment

24.08.2016

Nvidia has unveiled a next-generation single-chip system that became the basis for the Drive PX 2 automotive supercomputer.

So, the new SoC is called Parker. Now Tegra is not in the name, which looks a bit strange. Apparently, Nvidia decided to abandon the well-known brand simply because the novelty is not focused on the consumer market, but the automotive market does not care, because there are other selection criteria.

Parker is characterized by a performance of 1,5 TFLOPS. The solution is configured with two Nvidia proprietary Denver 2 processor cores, four Cortex-A57 cores, and a Pascal generation GPU with 256 CUDA cores. Moreover, two processor clusters are interconnected by a special interface, which makes it possible to call the processor of a single-chip system a coherent heterogeneous multiprocessor.

The single-chip system supports LPDDR4 RAM. The bandwidth of the memory subsystem has doubled and reached 50 GB / s. Parker also supports up to 12 cameras, which once again indicates the main market for the novelty - the automotive. Of course, the asset also has the ability to encode and decode video in 4K format at 60 fps.

Parker supports hardware virtualization with the ability to run eight virtual machines simultaneously. This will allow car manufacturers to use one Drive PX 2 system to handle a variety of tasks, including a multimedia system, driver assistance system, and more.

The existence of an entropy rule for quantum entanglement has been proven 09.05.2024

Quantum mechanics continues to amaze us with its mysterious phenomena and unexpected discoveries. Recently, Bartosz Regula from the RIKEN Center for Quantum Computing and Ludovico Lamy from the University of Amsterdam presented a new discovery that concerns quantum entanglement and its relation to entropy. Quantum entanglement plays an important role in modern quantum information science and technology. However, the complexity of its structure makes understanding and managing it challenging. Regulus and Lamy's discovery shows that quantum entanglement follows an entropy rule similar to that for classical systems. This discovery opens new perspectives in the field of quantum information science and technology, deepening our understanding of quantum entanglement and its connection to thermodynamics. The results of the study indicate the possibility of reversibility of entanglement transformations, which could greatly simplify their use in various quantum technologies. Opening a new rule ... >>

Energy from space for Starship 08.05.2024

Producing solar energy in space is becoming more feasible with the advent of new technologies and the development of space programs. The head of the startup Virtus Solis shared his vision of using SpaceX's Starship to create orbital power plants capable of powering the Earth. Startup Virtus Solis has unveiled an ambitious project to create orbital power plants using SpaceX's Starship. This idea could significantly change the field of solar energy production, making it more accessible and cheaper. The core of the startup's plan is to reduce the cost of launching satellites into space using Starship. This technological breakthrough is expected to make solar energy production in space more competitive with traditional energy sources. Virtual Solis plans to build large photovoltaic panels in orbit, using Starship to deliver the necessary equipment. However, one of the key challenges ... >>

New method for creating powerful batteries 08.05.2024

With the development of technology and the expanding use of electronics, the issue of creating efficient and safe energy sources is becoming increasingly urgent. Researchers at the University of Queensland have unveiled a new approach to creating high-power zinc-based batteries that could change the landscape of the energy industry. One of the main problems with traditional water-based rechargeable batteries was their low voltage, which limited their use in modern devices. But thanks to a new method developed by scientists, this drawback has been successfully overcome. As part of their research, scientists turned to a special organic compound - catechol. It turned out to be an important component that can improve battery stability and increase its efficiency. This approach has led to a significant increase in the voltage of zinc-ion batteries, making them more competitive. According to scientists, such batteries have several advantages. They have b ... >>

Alcohol content of warm beer 07.05.2024

Beer, as one of the most common alcoholic drinks, has its own unique taste, which can change depending on the temperature of consumption. A new study by an international team of scientists has found that beer temperature has a significant impact on the perception of alcoholic taste. The study, led by materials scientist Lei Jiang, found that at different temperatures, ethanol and water molecules form different types of clusters, which affects the perception of alcoholic taste. At low temperatures, more pyramid-like clusters form, which reduces the pungency of the "ethanol" taste and makes the drink taste less alcoholic. On the contrary, as the temperature increases, the clusters become more chain-like, resulting in a more pronounced alcoholic taste. This explains why the taste of some alcoholic drinks, such as baijiu, can change depending on temperature. The data obtained opens up new prospects for beverage manufacturers, ... >>

Huawei Ascend D quad Quad-core Smartphone 01.03.2012

Huawei unveiled its flagship smartphone Ascend D quad at Mobile World Congress 2012. Both new products have two things in common: both are built on the proprietary K3V2 single-chip system and are controlled by the Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich operating system.

Huawei K3V2, as you know, can operate at a frequency of 1,2 or 1,5 GHz, in the case of Ascend D quad, the second, most productive option is chosen. The smartphone is equipped with a 4,5-inch touchscreen display with a resolution of 1280 x 720 pixels (pixel density is approximately the same as that of the iPhone 4S), made using IPS technology, an 8-megapixel main camera with a back-illuminated image sensor, and a rechargeable battery with a capacity of 1800 mAh According to the creators, depending on the operating mode, the smartphone is able to work from one to two days on a single charge. Extend the "life" of the battery allows proprietary power management technology, providing 30% energy savings.

The amount of RAM device - 1 GB, integrated flash memory - 8 GB. Given that the latter is not as much as we would like, the developers endowed the smartphone with a microSD slot, which accepts media up to 32 GB. In terms of communications Ascend D quad is not deprived: the device supports wireless data transmission technologies HSDPA (up to 21 Mbps), Wi-Fi 802.11b/g/n, LTE and Bluetooth 3.0. In addition, Huawei Ascend D quad has a gyroscope, an accelerometer, a proximity sensor and a digital compass, a 1,3 MP front camera, a GPS receiver, a microUSB port, and support for Dolby Mobile 3.0 Plus technology.

Dimensions smartphone - 129 x 64 x 8,9 mm, weight - 130 grams.
