Generative AI AI Hardware

Abstract This document explains how to configure an NVIDIA Jetson AGX Orin 64 GB Developer Kit running Ubuntu 22.04.5 LTS and JetPack 6.2.2 to operate in maximum performance mode for AI workloads, especially LLM inference. It describes how to select the MAXN power mode, lock system clocks at their highest frequencies, and verify that the configuration is correctly applied with built-in NVIDIA tools and simple benchmarks. The tutorial targets users who want reproducible, high-throughput inference on a Jetson AGX Orin while retaining awareness of thermal and power constraints.
