Meer dan 10 maal "zo snel" als vorig platform PX2, wattage van 250 naar 500 W.
Ook luchtgekoeld ipv vloeistofgekoeld enz... zie daarvoor laatste link.
Nu nog de software en zender-ontvanger hardware optimaliseren...
Het zal nog een tijdje duren, wie weet 2020 eerste testritten (*volgens E. Musk, Tesla)

Nvidia unveils new supercomputer for level 5 autonomous driving
Fred Lambert - Oct. 10th 2017
...
Now Nvidia unveils a new supercomputer that it believes will enable level 5 autonomous driving.
The new addition to Nvidia’s Drive PX platform is called Pegasus, which delivers over 320 trillion operations per second — more than 10x the performance of its predecessor, Drive PX 2.
It now becomes the platform recommended by the chipmaker to enable level 5 fully autonomous capability.
Jensen Huang, NVIDIA founder and CEO, commented on the announcement:
“Creating a fully self-driving car is one of society’s most important endeavors — and one of the most challenging to deliver. “The breakthrough AI computing performance and efficiency of Pegasus is crucial for the industry to realize this vision.
The CEO confirmed that more than 25 companies are developing Level 5 self-driving systems using Nvidia chips and a few have already confirmed using the new Pegasus, including Zoox, Optimus Ride, TuSimple, Yandex, and NuTonomy.
NuTonomy Karl Iagnemma commented:
“NuTonomy is building for Level 5 and Pegasus is the kind of platform that will be required to support these types of systems.”
The new system builds on the current Drive PX platform, which is customizable as shown with Tesla’s application in Model S and Model X, but it features two of Nvidia’s newest Xavier system-on-a-chip processors.
Nvidia says that the new platform goes into production during the second half of 2018.

Vandaag heeft men officieel level 2 (zie bloktekening) en is goed op weg naar full level 3 ergens in 2018.

NVIDIA Unveils The Drive PX ‘Pegasus’ – First Board Capable of Level 5 Autonomy With 320 DL TOPs, Post-Volta Next-Generation dGPUs and 500W TDP
NVIDIA has unveiled its brand new Drive PX Pegasus board at GTC Europe 2017. This marks a substantial improvement over its old Drive PX 2 board (that is currently shipping with Tesla models) and results in a net performance improvement of almost 10x. With over 320 Deep Learning Tera Operations Per second (a term coined by NVIDIA) this hardware is substantially faster than most server racks of last y ear. To put this perspective the last iteration only pulled in about 24-30 DL TOPs. The company has also claimed that this hardware is capable of Level 5 Autonomy.
Unlike the old Drive PX, the Pegasus board will not be water cooled. It will be cooled solely by air (which is a huge feat considering it boasts 500 watts of TDP) which will reduce maintenance and increase service life due to less moving and breakable parts. The Pegasus board comes equipped with 2x Xenver SOCs with Volta iGPUs and 2x dedicated GPUs. The board is ASIL D certified which means it is designed to have failover.
DRIVE PX Pegasus is powered by four high-performance AI processors. It couples two of Xavier system-on-a-chip processors — featuring an embedded GPU based on the Volta architecture — with two next-generation discrete GPUs with hardware created for accelerating deep learning and computer vision algorithms. The system will provide the enormous computational capability for fully autonomous vehicles in a computer the size of a license plate, drastically reducing energy consumption and cost.
Pegasus is designed for ASIL D certification — the industry’s highest safety level — with automotive inputs/outputs, including CAN (controller area network), Flexray, 16 dedicated high-speed sensor inputs for camera, radar, lidar and ultrasonics, plus multiple 10Gbit Ethernet connectors. Its combined memory bandwidth exceeds 1 terabyte per second.
Perhaps the most interesting aspect of the kit is the fact that the dedicated GPUs it is using are not Volta but rather based on a next-generation architecture. This would mean they are even more optimized and energy efficient than the Volta iGPUs on the SOCs. Considering we have not heard of an architecture succeeding Volta on the mainstream side soon right now, it is entirely possible that this particular architecture was designed exclusively for deep learning applications. In any case, this is an example of NVIDIA’s greatest strengths: the ability to innovate architectural and performance leaps like its as easy as walking. Companies like Mobileye-Intel are sure to follow and even Tesla might keep pace with its own division headed by Jim Keller but its clear that green is very much in the lead.
