Introduction¶
Graph Composer is a tool suite built on https://docs.omniverse.nvidia.com/ Kit to enable users to build and deploy high-performance AI applications in the form of graph using GUI with minimal (to no) C/C++ coding. These tools are based on Graph Specification and provide complete ecosystem from extension development to graph deploy.
Graph Composer Ecosystem¶
Graph Composer ecosystem is based on the following elements listed in the table below. They enable AI Application developers to create the applications using GUI based tool and deploy them using Container Builder tool without developing any code. It provides central repository of NVIDIA? optimized extensions for different hardware platforms.
Elements |
Description |
|---|---|
Extension |
An Extension is a collection of components used in an AI Application. Users can use NVIDIA published extensions from the NVIDIA Cloud repository or develop their own custom extensions. |
NVIDIA Cloud Repository |
NVIDIA Cloud repository is the extension database managed by NVIDIA and provides access to the NVIDIA published extensions through Registry. |
Registry |
Registry provides standard interface between extension database such as Nvidia Cloud Repository or Local Workspace and Graph Composer tools. It is also responsible for extension version management, dependency resolution etc. |
Composer |
Composer is a GUI tool based on NVIDIA Omniverse Kit used to create AI Application graphs. It reads extension information from Registry which includes component types, parameters and creates visual components to create application graphs. |
Graph Execution Engine |
Graph Execution Engine loads extensions and graphs to execute the AI Application. |
Container Builder |
Container Builder creates a self-contained docker image for an AI Application graph. It interacts with registry to resolve extensions required for graph and installs latest compatible extensions to the container image. |
