Build AI Solutions Faster with All of the Software You Need
Collections makes it easy to discover the compatible framework containers, models, Juptyer notebooks, and other resources to get started in AI faster. The respective collections also provide detailed documentation to deploy the content for specific use cases.
NGC catalog offers ready-to-use collections for various applications, including NLP, ASR, intelligent video analytics, and object detection.
Deploy and Run Workloads Faster with Containers
The NGC catalog hosts containers for the top AI and data science software, tuned, tested, and optimized by NVIDIA. Fully tested containers for HPC applications and data analytics are also available, allowing users to build solutions from a tested framework with complete control.
Accelerate Your AI Projects With Pretrained Models
The NGC catalog hosts pretrained GPU-optimized models for a variety of common AI tasks that developers can use as-is or retrain them easily, thus saving valuable time in bringing solutions to market. Each model comes with a model resume outlining the architecture, training details, datasets used, and limitations. NVIDIA AI Foundation models enable developers to experience the models directly in their browsers, integrate them into applications using APIs or download and run them on Windows machines with RTX GPUs.
Kickstart Your AI Projects with Jupyter Notebooks
The NGC catalog hosts tutorial Jupyter notebooks for a variety of use cases—including computer vision, natural language processing, and recommendation—to give developers a head start in building AI models. It also provides the flexibility to modify the notebooks and build custom solutions.
Containers, models, and SDKs from the NGC catalog can be deployed on a managed Jupyter Notebook service with a single click.
Automate Deployments with Helm Charts
Helm charts automate software deployment on Kubernetes clusters. The NGC catalog hosts Kubernetes-ready Helm charts that make it easy to consistently and secure deploy both NVIDIA and third-party software.
NVIDIA GPU Operator is a suite of NVIDIA drivers, container runtime, device plug-in, and management software that IT teams can install on Kubernetes clusters to give users faster access to run their workloads.
Deliver Solutions Faster with Ready-to-Deploy AI Workflows
The NGC catalog features NVIDIA TAO Toolkit, NVIDIA Triton™ Inference Server, and NVIDIA TensorRT™ to enable deep learning application developers and data scientists to re-train deep learning models and easily optimize and deploy them for inference.

Frequently Asked Questions
The NGC catalog provides a comprehensive collection of GPU-optimized containers for AI, machine learning, and HPC that are tested and ready to run on supported NVIDIA GPUs on premises, in the cloud, or at the edge. In addition, the catalog provides pretrained models, model scripts, and industry solutions that can be easily integrated into existing workflows.
Compiling and deploying deep learning frameworks can be time consuming and prone to errors. Optimizing AI software requires expertise. Building models requires expertise, time, and compute resources. The NGC catalog takes care of these challenges with GPU-optimized software and tools that data scientists, developers, IT, and users can leverage so they can focus on building their solutions.
Each container has a pre-integrated set of GPU-accelerated software. The stack includes the chosen application or framework, NVIDIA CUDA® Toolkit, accelerated libraries, and other necessary drivers—all tested and tuned to work together immediately with no additional setup.
The NGC catalog features the top AI software, including TensorFlow, PyTorch, MxNet, NVIDIA TensorRT, RAPIDS™, and many more. Browse the NGC catalog to see the full list.
The NGC catalog containers run on PCs, workstations, HPC clusters, NVIDIA DGX systems, on NVIDIA GPUs on supported cloud providers, and NVIDIA-Certified Systems. The containers run in Docker and Singularity runtimes. View the NGC documentation for more information.
NVIDIA offers virtual machine image files in the marketplace section of each supported cloud service provider. To run an NGC container, simply pick the appropriate instance type, run the NGC image, and pull the container into it from the NGC catalog. The exact steps vary by cloud provider, but you can find step-by-step instructions in the NGC documentation.
The most popular deep learning software such as TensorFlow, PyTorch, and MXNet are updated monthly by NVIDIA engineers to optimize the complete software stack and get the most from your NVIDIA GPUs.
There’s no charge to download the containers from the NGC catalog (subject to the terms of use). However, for running in the cloud, each cloud service provider will have their own pricing for GPU compute instances.
No, it’s a portal to deliver GPU-optimized software, enterprise services, and software.
