– Jensen Huang introduced Nvidia’s GTC event as a developer conference focused on science, algorithms, computer architecture, and mathematics.
– Nvidia’s core mission is accelerated computing, specializing in chips and boards for graphics-intensive tasks like gaming.
– Nvidia introduced its Blackwell platform, a powerful new GPU for AI applications, and unveiled new tools for automakers and roboticists, highlighting the impact of AI in various industries.
Nvidia President Jensen Huang addressed a large audience at the GTC event, emphasizing that it was a developer’s conference focused on science and computer technology, not a concert. The company’s mission since its launch in 1993 has been to push the boundaries of general computing with “accelerated computing” chips that cater to specialized needs like high-resolution gaming.
In his keynote, Huang highlighted Nvidia’s focus on computer graphics, physics, and artificial intelligence. The company unveiled the powerful new Blackwell platform, setting new standards in GPU performance for AI applications. The platform combines the power of two chips to offer impressive speed and efficiency gains for developers and AI researchers.
Nvidia also introduced new tools for automakers and roboticists, emphasizing the concept of “AI factories” where AI models are deployed and accelerated for various applications. The company’s software platform, Nvidia NIM, aims to simplify the deployment of AI models by leveraging the company’s hardware and providing an ecosystem of AI-ready containers.
Huang emphasized the importance of generative AI revolution and the ability to understand and generate patterns in digitized data. As Nvidia continues to innovate in the field of AI and GPU technology, the possibilities for applications in various industries are expanding rapidly.
