Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ:NVDA) kicked off the Computex 2024 with a pre-event keynote address by CEO Jensen Huang on Sunday. The annual computer expo, being held at the Taipei Nangang Exhibition Center in Taiwan, officially starts on Tuesday and will run through June 7.
What Happened: Huang started off his speech by crediting Nvidia’s partners. “Taiwan is the home of our treasured Partners. This is where everything Nvidia does begins. Our partners and ourselves take it to the world,” he said, adding that Taiwan and the company’s partnership has created the world’s AI infrastructure today.
Calling computer graphics, simulations, and artificial intelligence “the soul of Nvidia,” Huang said these are put together in a virtual world called Omniverse.
Foundational Technologies: Accelerated computing and AI running inside the Omniverse are the two fundamental forces of computing, which will reshape the computer industry that is currently 60 years old, Huang said. The tech entrepreneur spoke about computation inflation, as the amount of data center power used all over the world is growing substantially and the cost of computing is growing. It’s here accelerated computing becomes essential and CUDA, a parallel computing platform and programming model invented by Nvidia, augments CPU offloads and accelerates the work a specialized processor can do much better, he said.
He suggested that Nvidia’s accelerated computing style can help reduce costs, potentially bringing about 98% cost savings and 97% reduced energy needs.
