Knowra Nvidia Nvidia Nvidia is an American technology company that designs graphics processing units, system-on-chip products, and software for computing and artificial intelligence.
Graphics processing unit : A processor designed to perform many calculations in parallel, especially for graphics and data-intensive workloads. Nvidia’s business began with graphics processors and now centers on their parallel-computing capabilities.
AI accelerator : A processor designed to speed up artificial-intelligence workloads such as neural-network training and inference. Nvidia’s data-center GPUs compete in the growing market for dedicated AI computation.
Jensen Huang : A Taiwanese-American engineer and business executive who co-founded Nvidia and has served as its chief executive since 1993. Huang helped found Nvidia and has led its major product and market shifts.
Advanced Micro Devices : An American semiconductor company that designs CPUs, GPUs, and adaptive-computing products. AMD competes with Nvidia in discrete GPUs and data-center accelerators.
Generative artificial intelligence : Artificial intelligence that produces new text, images, audio, video, or other content from learned patterns. Demand for generative AI training and inference has driven substantial demand for Nvidia data-center GPUs.
CUDA : Nvidia’s parallel-computing platform and programming model for running general-purpose workloads on its GPUs. CUDA gives developers a way to use Nvidia GPUs beyond rendering graphics.
Nvidia DGX : Nvidia’s family of integrated systems designed for AI development and data-center workloads. DGX systems package Nvidia GPUs, networking, and software for large-scale AI work.
Nvidia RIVA 128 : A 1997 graphics accelerator that helped establish Nvidia as a competitor in the PC graphics market. The RIVA 128’s commercial success rescued Nvidia from an early financial crisis.
Intel : An American semiconductor company that designs processors, GPUs, and related computing technologies. Intel’s CPUs and accelerators compete with Nvidia products across PCs and data centers.
Semiconductor supply chain : The global network of firms and facilities that designs, fabricates, packages, and distributes semiconductor devices. Nvidia designs chips but relies on external foundries and suppliers to manufacture them.
