NVIDIA Sync#

Overview#

NVIDIA Sync is a system tray utility for Windows, macOS, and Ubuntu. It simplifies working with your DGX Spark and other remote Linux systems from another computer on your network.

Install NVIDIA Sync on your laptop or workstation, add your DGX Spark, and connect to launch applications on the device. Sync handles SSH connections, port forwarding, and tunnels so you can use local tools against the remote system.

Key Capabilities#

  • One-click launch of supported IDEs and tools (for example, VS Code, Cursor, and NVIDIA AI Workbench)

  • Integrated access to the DGX Dashboard on your DGX Spark without manual tunnel configuration

  • Optional Tailscale integration for secure access when you are not on the same network as your device

Using NVIDIA Sync with Your DGX Spark#

After initial setup, your DGX Spark advertises its hostname on the local network using multicast DNS (mDNS). You can add the device in NVIDIA Sync by selecting it from device discovery or by entering its hostname or IP address and your login credentials.

Typical workflow:

  1. Install NVIDIA Sync on your local computer.

  2. Add your DGX Spark in NVIDIA Sync.

  3. Connect to the device.

  4. Launch an application or the DGX Dashboard from the Sync menu.
