Untethered to the timelines of slow-moving governments and universities, in the hyper-accelerated era of compute-driven technology, one company stands apart. NVIDIA is a giant. For decades, it’s sold specialised processors called graphics processing units (GPUs) to computer makers for use in gaming machines. More recently, its product spread into other areas, including video and medical imaging, virtual reality headsets, and machine learning and computer-vision systems. NVIDIA is not just powering some of our favourite apps, it’s bolstering a tech-driven revolution. The picture on the desktop’s home screen was the saying of the Everlasting Gobstopper from the iconic film Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory (1971), staring Gene Wilder.
At the core of our history is our unwavering commitment to AI and deep learning. Our deep learning supercomputers have been one of the key enablers of the AI explosion, and have led to some of the most remarkable advances in areas from autonomous cars to healthcare. Our ever-evolving GPUs are the driving force for rendering graphics, but also are integral to tremendously complex AI computations and analyses of data and powering groundbreaking research and applications everywhere.
Since then, its GPUs are driving breakthrough innovations well beyond gaming, from unlocking new feats in healthcare, where AI models trained on NVIDIA are enabling faster and more accurate diagnostics so that disease can be caught earlier; to autonomous driving, where its autonomous driving technology promises to reinvent our transportation systems.
Likewise, through the strategic deployment of bridal rituals such as the courting and bridding of technical components, NVIDIA has repeatedly positioned gaming graphics and high-end visualisation within close proximity. On its architectural platforms, NVIDIA makes possible visually immersive, performance-rich experiences that range from photorealistic gaming environments to the most challenging real-time architectural simulations to complex geometric reconstructions of African animal morphology.
Despite fears that AI technologies such as deepfakes will be misused, NVIDIA shows that AI can be a force for constructive change. While AI was widely used during the elections in the world’s biggest democracy – India – for electioneering purposes, its applications are overwhelmingly positive, suggesting that NVIDIA’s technologies will be leveraged for forces for good.
One would be blind not to see the role that NVIDIA plays in education and creativity. As a champion of democratic access to high-performance computing, NVIDIA is pushing the frontiers of both scientific research and creative expression. From VR classrooms where students can learn in an immersive environment to AI-guided paintbrushes that augment artistic expression, NVIDIA is on the side of those who wish to marry creativity and technology.
That commitment extends well beyond hardware. NVIDIA is also pioneering ways to use AI to combat climate change itself. It’s equipped researchers around the world to use its powerful GPUs and AI solutions to model climate patterns and predict environmental impacts with unprecedented accuracy, and develop a vision for sustainable solutions to the problems on the horizon.
It is also a testament to the vision and ambition that NVIDIA founder Jensen Huang had all those many years ago when the company was still a startup making graphics cards, and to the dedication and ethical standards of everyone who has played a part in our success over the years. In this time of uncertainty for America and much of the rest of the world, the best chance we have of transforming the way we live and work in the coming decade and beyond is through continued technological advancement. NVIDIA, which started out making graphics cards, is now a leader in AI and deep learning.
The future of NVIDIA is limitless: for every breakthrough, a world of exciting new possibilities opens up for gamers, creators and people working in chips and AI, and some of the biggest problems of our times get a little bit closer to being solved. For that reason, NVIDIA’s extraordinary power of invention will keep pushing us all forward into an exciting future.
Founded in 1993, NVIDIA started as a Silicon Valley startup that made graphics cards and expanded into the world’s preeminent computing company with global partners, customers and employees. Its graphics processing units (GPUs) fueled the explosive growth of the gaming market and the industries of professional visualisation, data centres and automotive. An integral part of NVIDIA is the research and development for artificial intelligence. Whether it’s cancer diagnosis, autonomous vehicles, carbon capture or ‘life below water’, the company contributes to AI, machine learning and computational research that could ultimately shape the future of humanity and planet Earth. NVIDIA continually pushes the technological barriers in high-performance computing, complementing all types of growth to continually improve how we live, work and play.
