In the previous CUDACasts episode, we saw how to flash your Jetson TK1 to the latest release of Linux4Tegra, and install both the CUDA toolkit and OpenCV SDK. We’ll continue exploring the power efficiency the Jetson TK1 Kepler-based GPU brings to computer vision by porting a simple OpenCV sample to run on the GPU. We’ll explore computer vision further in a future CUDACast when we look at the…
]]>The Jetson TK1 development kit has fast become a must-have for mobile and embedded parallel computing due the amazing level of performance packed into such a low-power board. In this and the following CUDACast, you’ll learn how to get started building computer vision applications on your Jetson TK1 using CUDA and the OpenCV library. CUDACasts are short how-to screencast videos about new…
]]>After a recent talk I gave called “CUDA 101: Intro to GPU Computing”, a student asked “What’s the best way for me to get experience in parallel programming and CUDA?”. This is a question I struggled a lot with when I was in college and one I still ask myself about various topics today. The first step is to realize that it’s hard to get useful experience without having some skill in an area.
