Developing for NVIDIA Grace

Architectural Features

NVIDIA Grace implements the SVE2 and the NEON single-instruction-multiple-data (SIMD) instruction sets (refer to Arm SIMD Instructions for more information).

All server-class Arm64 processors support low-cost atomic operations that can improve system throughput for thread communication, locks, and mutexes (refer to Locks, Synchronization, and Atomics for more information).

All Arm CPUs (including NVIDIA Grace) provide several ways to determine the available CPU resources and topology at runtime (refer to Runtime CPU Detection for more information and the example code).

Debugging and Profiling

Typically, all the same debuggers and profilers you rely on when working on x86 are available on NVIDIA Grace. The notable exceptions are vendor-specific products, for example, Intel® VTune. The capabilities provided by these tools are provided also by other tools on NVIDIA Grace (refer to Debugging for more information).

Language-Specific Guidance

Check the Languages page for any language-specific guidance related to LSE, locking, synchronization, and atomics. If no guide is provided then there are no Arm-related specific issues for that language. You can proceed as you would on any other platform.
