Support Matrix

These support matrices list the supported hardware and software requirements of the NVIDIA ACE Agent.

Hardware

Supported Hardware for NVIDIA ACE Agent Data Center Platforms

Hardware Compatibility

GPU Model

Note

NVIDIA ACE Agent is supported on any NVIDIA Volta or later NVIDIA GPU (NVIDIA Turing or NVIDIA Ampere Architecture) for development purposes. Care must be taken not to exceed the memory available when training or deploying models.

Operating System

NVIDIA ACE Agent requires Linux x86_64 (Preferred Platform Ubuntu 20.04 and 22.04)

Mic and Headset

Any good quality microphone and speaker works with NVIDIA ACE Agent. The following models have been verified to work well.

  • Microphone

    • Linux x86 with USB microphone (for example, a Logitech H390 USB computer headset)

  • Headphones

    • Logitech H340

    • Logitech H390

    • Microsoft LX3000

GPU memory needed to deploy models into NVIDIA Triton
  • ASR model

    • ~5600 MB

  • TTS model

    • ~3500 MB

  • NMT models

    • ~4500 MB per bilingual model

    • ~5500 MB per megatron 500m model

    • ~8500 MB per megatron 1b model

  • NLP models

    • GPU memory requirement for NLP models only includes the incremental memory needed for each model. There is an extra ~1500 MB GPU memory requirement for each Triton server instance.

    • BERT Base NLP model

      • ~600 MB per model
