Improving performance on Jetson Modules
Question: How can I improve performance or reduce delays when running scripts on Jetson modules?
There are a few ways to optimize performance, especially when working with performance-critical scripts:
Enable Maximum Clock Speeds:
Use the following command to maximize CPU and GPU clock speeds:
$ sudo jetson_clocks
This can help reduce latency and improve execution time.
Set Power Mode to MAXN:
Ensure the power mode is set to MAXN for full performance. You can check and change the power mode using nvpmodel or the Jetson power settings utility.
Disable the GUI (Desktop Interface):
These changes can help the system allocate more resources to your scripts.

Disable the GUI (Desktop Interface):
If a graphical interface is not needed, disabling it can reduce system overhead. Follow this guide to disable the GUI:
