Jetson Nano Power and Performance Characterization

Systematic characterization of an NVIDIA Jetson Nano across its power modes, measuring compute throughput and board power together.

WHAT I BUILT
  • Ran CUDA benchmarks across the MAXN and 5W nvpmodel power modes.
  • Logged board power from the INA3221 monitor over sysfs on I2C bus 6.
  • Measured 12.3 GFLOPS at MAXN against 9.2 GFLOPS at 5W, with 15.19 GB/s memory bandwidth.
  • Published the results as a datasheet-style report on GitHub.
