NGC-Ready Systems — NVIDIA Certification Programs Documentation (original) (raw)
This document lists the systems that have been validated by NVIDIA as “NGC-Ready” and as “NGC-Ready for Edge”.
List of NGC-Ready Servers#
NGC software runs on a wide variety of NVIDIA GPU-accelerated platforms, including on-premises NGC-Ready and NGC-Ready for Edge servers, NVIDIA DGX™ Systems, workstations with NVIDIA TITAN and NVIDIA Quadro® GPUs, and leading cloud platforms.
The following lists the 3rd-party systems that have been validated by NVIDIA as “NGC-Ready”. NGC-Ready servers have passed an extensive suite of tests that validate their ability to deliver high performance running NGC containers. NGC-Ready system validation includes tests of:
- Single and multi-GPU Deep Learning training using TensorFlow, PyTorch and NVIDIA DeepStream Transfer Learning Toolkit
- High volume, low latency inference using NVIDIA TensorRT, TensorRT Inference Server, and DeepStream
- Data Science using RAPIDS and XGBoost
- Application development using the CUDA Toolkit.
NGC-Ready for Edge servers have, in addition to passing the NGC-Ready tests, demonstrated their ability to support the NVIDIA EGX platform that uses the industry standards of TPM for hardware-based key management and Redfish for remote systems management.
NVIDIA AI Enterprise Compatible Systems
The NGC-Ready servers listed below as NVIDIA AI Enterprise Compatible are only supported by NVIDIA AI Enterprise when they are equipped with NVIDIA V100 or T4 GPUs. NVIDIA AI Enterprise Compatible systems supporting newer generations of NVIDIA GPUs are listed on the NVIDIA-Certified systems web site. See the NVIDIA AI Enterprise technical documentation for more information about supported hardware and software platforms.
Only NGC-Ready Servers systems equipped with NVIDIA V100 or T4 GPUs are NVIDIA AI Enterprise Compatible. NVIDIA-Certified systems that are NVIDIA AI Enterprise Compatible are listed on the NVIDIA-Certified systems documentation site. See the NVIDIA AI Enterprise technical documentation for more information.

List of NGC-Ready for Edge Systems#
NGC-Ready system validation includes tests of:
- Single and multi-GPU Deep Learning training using TensorFlow, PyTorch and NVIDIA DeepStream Transfer Learning Toolkit
- High volume, low latency inference using NVIDIA TensorRT, TensorRT Inference Server, and DeepStream
- Data Science using RAPIDS and XGBoost
- Application development using the CUDA Toolkit.
NGC-Ready for Edge servers have, in addition to passing the NGC-Ready tests, demonstrated their ability to support the NVIDIA EGX platform that uses the industry standards of TPM for hardware-based key management and IPMI for remote systems management.
The following lists the 3rd-party systems that have been validated by NVIDIA as “NGC-Ready for Edge”.
NGC-Ready for Edge Servers
NGC-Ready Supported Software#
NGC-Ready Testing Software Environment
NGC-Ready and NGC-Ready for Edge servers are tested using standardized software environments that have been demonstrated to provide the highest levels of stability and performance. These NGC-Ready and NGC-Ready for Edge servers were tested using the following software:
- Ubuntu 16.04, 18.04, or 20.04
- RHEL 7.5 or 7.6
- NVIDIA drivers
- Docker-ce
- NVIDIA Container Runtime
