Understand this story
Altera has launched FPGAs for the Nvidia Holoscan Sensor Bridge (HSB), targeting the physical AI market including robotics and autonomous driving. The architecture connects in the order of sensors, FPGA, Ethernet, and GPU; the FPGA aggregates multi-protocol sensor data and handles low-latency tasks such as localization, motor control, and image preprocessing, then writes directly into Nvidia GPU memory over Ethernet, bypassing the CPU to reduce latency. Altera offers four FPGA families—Cyclone, Agilex 3, Agilex 5, and Agilex 7—and is collaborating with Terasic and Critical Link to develop a sensor board and SOM ecosystem.
