# NVIDIA Modulus (opens new window)

NVIDIA Modulus is an open-source, freely available, AI framework for building, training, and fine-tuning Physics-ML models with a simple Python interface. Using Modulus, engineers can build high-fidelity AI surrogate models that blend the causality of physics described by governing partial differential equations (PDEs) with simulation data from CAE solvers or observed data. Such AI models can predict with near-real-time latency and for a parameterized design space.

# NVIDIA Data Loading Library (DALI) (opens new window)

The NVIDIA Data Loading Library (DALI) is a collection of highly optimized building blocks, and an execution engine, for accelerating the pre-processing of input data for deep learning applications. DALI provides both the performance and the flexibility for accelerating different data pipelines as a single library. This single library can then be easily integrated into different deep learning training and inference applications. DALI is preinstalled in the TensorFlow (opens new window), PyTorch (opens new window), NVIDIA Optimized Deep Learning Framework, powered by Apache MXNet (opens new window), and PaddlePaddle (opens new window) containers on NVIDIA GPU Cloud (opens new window).

  • Easy-to-use Python API
  • Transparently scales across multiple GPUs
  • Accelerates image classification (ResNet-50),object detection (SSD) workloads and speech recognition models such as Jasper and RNN-T
  • Flexible graphs lets developers create custom pipelines
  • Supports multiple data formats - LMDB, RecordIO, TFRecord, COCO, JPEG, wav, flac, ogg, H.264 and HEVC
  • Developers can add custom audio, image and video processing operators
