Although the holiday gift-giving season may be over, Nvidia Corp. co-founder and Chief Executive Jensen Huang was in a very generous mood during his Monday keynote address at the CES consumer electronics show in Las Vegas. The leader in accelerated computing, which invented the graphics processing unit more than 25 years ago, still has an insatiable appetite for innovation.
‘Tis the season to ponder what to get that someone in your life who has everything. If you haven’t finished your Christmas shopping and have $249 to spend for a piece of technology about four inches wide, three-and-a-half inches high, and 1.3 inches thick, then Nvidia Corp. has the perfect gift. The tech giant introduced the Jetson Orin Nano Super Developer Kit this week. Though that’s a big name for such a small product, don’t be fooled. The latest innovation from Nvidia packs a big wallop in its little package.
Amazon Web Services Inc. Chief Executive Matt Garman delivered a three-hour keynote at the company’s annual re:Invent conference to an audience of 60,000 attendees in Las Vegas and another 400,000 watching online, ad they heard a lot of news from the new leader, who became CEO earlier this year after joining the company in 2006.
As the world of high-performance computing is getting together this week in Atlanta for SC24, Nvidia Corp. held a “special address” to showcase the company’s vision for computing and artificial intelligence, with founder and Chief Executive Jensen Huang leading the charge.
There hasn’t been a tech tailwind as strong as artificial intelligence since the early days of the internet. Many companies are vying to be the kingpin in the AI battleground, with Nvidia Corp. taking the early lead. The company has kept that position by taking a systems approach to AI. One of the key differentiators for Nvidia has been NVLink and NVSwitch, which enabled better and faster connectivity between graphic processing units to help with inferencing.
