Overview
What is NVIDIA Holoscan?
Holoscan is a multimodal computing platform that delivers the accelerated, full-stack infrastructure you need for scalable, software-defined, and real-time processing of streaming data running at the edge.
Software-Defined Hardware
Get to know the Holoscan Platform
The Holoscan platform spans hardware and software components that bridge sensors with edge servers, networking, on-premises data centers, and cloud computing with optimized libraries, tools, and containers for data processing. It also includes template applications to facilitate rapid prototyping, sample AI models for jump-starting training, and core microservices to run streaming, imaging, and other applications.
Benefits
Real-Time Sensor Processing for Seamless EDGE AI Solutions
Low-Latency, Real-Time Performance
Get optimized performance for ultra-low-latency processing of high-throughput sensor data (video, audio, ultrasound, etc.), enabling fast AI inference and immediate decision-making.
Modular Pipeline Architecture
Using a graph-based SDK with plug-and-play operators for I/O, preprocessing, inference, postprocessing, and visualization lets you build flexible, reusable pipelines in Python or C++, speeding up development and experimentation.
Edge-to-Cloud Scalability
Run the same pipeline across the full range of target devices—from NVIDIA Jetson™ (embedded) to IGX (industrial edge) to the NVIDIA AGX™ and DGX (data center)—without rewriting your code. Holoscan abstracts the hardware while maximizing GPU acceleration.
Production-grade, Software Defined Hardware
Easily integrate key tools and libraries like NVIDIA® GPUDirect® for fast I/O and seamless integration with Holoscan Sensor Bridge for AI, and NVIDIA MONAI for medical imaging. This saves time and avoids stitching together disparate systems.
