NVIDIA CEO Highlights AI and Accelerated Computing at COMPUTEX 2024

In
a
keynote
address
ahead
of
the
COMPUTEX
technology
conference
in
Taipei,
NVIDIA
founder
and
CEO
Jensen
Huang
highlighted
the
transformative
potential
of
generative
AI
and
accelerated
computing.
According
to
the

NVIDIA
Blog,
Huang
emphasized
that
the
convergence
of
AI
and
accelerated
computing
is
poised
to
redefine
the
future.

Huang
addressed
an
audience
of
over
6,500
industry
leaders,
press,
entrepreneurs,
gamers,
creators,
and
AI
enthusiasts
at
the
National
Taiwan
University
Sports
Center.
Clad
in
his
signature
black
leather
jacket,
Huang
stated,
“The
intersection
of
AI
and
accelerated
computing
is
set
to
redefine
the
future.”

‘One-Year
Rhythm’

During
his
presentation,
Huang
unveiled
a
roadmap
for
new
semiconductors
set
to
be
released
annually.
The
forthcoming
Rubin
platform
will
feature
new
GPUs,
an
Arm-based
CPU
named
Vera,
and
advanced
networking
components
including
NVLink
6
and
CX9
SuperNIC.

“Our
company
has
a
one-year
rhythm.
Our
basic
philosophy
is
very
simple:
build
the
entire
data
center
scale,
disaggregate,
and
sell
to
you
parts
on
a
one-year
rhythm,
and
push
everything
to
technology
limits,”
Huang
explained.

‘Accelerated
Computing
Is
Sustainable
Computing’

Huang
also
discussed
the
sustainability
of
accelerated
computing,
emphasizing
that
combining
GPUs
and
CPUs
can
deliver
up
to
a
100x
speedup
while
only
tripling
power
consumption.
“The
more
you
buy,
the
more
you
save,”
he
noted,
highlighting
significant
cost
and
energy
savings.

Industry
Joins
NVIDIA
to
Build
AI
Factories

Leading
computer
manufacturers,
particularly
from
Taiwan,
are
adopting
NVIDIA
GPUs
and
networking
solutions
to
build
AI
systems.
Companies
including
ASRock
Rack,
ASUS,
GIGABYTE,
Pegatron,
and
Supermicro
are
creating
cloud,
on-premises,
and
edge
AI
systems
using
NVIDIA’s
technologies.

The
NVIDIA
MGX
modular
reference
design
platform
now
supports
the
Blackwell
architecture,
optimized
for
large
language
model
inference
and
data
processing.
AMD
and
Intel
are
also
supporting
the
MGX
architecture
with
their
CPU
host
processor
designs.

Next-Generation
Networking
with
Spectrum-X

In
networking,
Huang
announced
the
annual
release
of
Spectrum-X
products,
designed
to
meet
the
growing
demand
for
high-performance
Ethernet
networking
for
AI.
NVIDIA
Spectrum-X
enhances
network
performance
by
1.6x
over
traditional
Ethernet
fabrics.

CoreWeave,
GMO
Internet
Group,
and
other
AI
cloud
service
providers
are
among
the
first
to
embrace
Spectrum-X
for
their
AI
infrastructures.

NVIDIA
NIM
to
Transform
Millions
Into
Gen
AI
Developers

With
NVIDIA
NIM,
developers
can
now
easily
create
generative
AI
applications.
NIM
provides
models
as
optimized
containers
that
can
be
deployed
on
clouds,
data
centers,
or
workstations.
Nearly
200
technology
partners
are
integrating
NIM
into
their
platforms
to
speed
generative
AI
deployments.

“Today
we
just
posted
up
in
Hugging
Face
the
Llama
3
fully
optimized,”
Huang
said.
“You
can
run
it
in
the
cloud,
download
this
container,
put
it
into
your
own
data
center,
and
make
it
available
for
your
customers.”
