Zotac Announces Availability of NVIDIA Jetson TK1

NVIDIA recently shared exciting news concerning their upcoming Jetson TK1 platform and Zotac has announced that these will be available this month!

The NVIDIA Jetson TK1 development kit unlocks the power of the GPU for embedded applications. Built around the revolutionary Tegra K1 SOC, it uses the same Kepler computing core designed into supercomputers around the world. It is a fully functional CUDA platform that will allow you to quickly develop and deploy compute-intensive systems for computer vision, robotics, and medicine.

NVIDIA provides the BSP and software stack, including CUDA, OpenGL 4.4, and the NVIDIA VisionWorks toolkit. With a complete suite of development and profiling tools, out-of-the-box support for cameras and other peripherals, you have everything you need to realize the future of embedded.

The NVIDIA Jetson TK1 development kit will be available in May via ZOTAC’s sales and distribution partners in Europe at Conrad Electronic (www.conrad.com) for continental Europe and at Maplin (www.maplin.co.uk) in the U.K.
