Nvidia's CEO, Jensen Huang, recently delivered an attention-grabbing speech. He predicted that we are entering a new era of computation, where anyone can become a programmer merely by talking to a computer and calling up the desired functionalities. We will explore how Jensen Huang, co-founder of Nvidia, is leading the company to further unveil the mysteries of AI technology, while also interpreting his vision for future technological developments.
Entering a New Era of Computing
There always comes a time when a misplaced semicolon sends you spiraling into the dilemma of "failed compilation." However, in Jensen Huang's vision, such occurrences will be a thing of the past. During his keynote speech at the Taiwan Computex forum, he stated that all these will be handled by Generative AI, ushering in a new era of computing where "everyone is a computer engineer." He cautioned that traditional tech industries might not keep pace with the advances in AI.
Huang said: "We've reached the tipping point of the new era of computation. AI technology has significantly lowered the entry barrier for people to get into computer programming. Now, AI allows individuals to create programs simply by entering commands. The integration of accelerated computation and generative AI represents a fundamental reinvention, reducing the manual labor required to create software and poised to revolutionize the world of programming."
1. GeForce RTX 4060 Ti Gaming GPU
Nvidia's GeForce RTX 4060 Ti gaming GPU is now in full-scale production, being mass-produced with partners in Taiwan. The GeForce RTX 4060 Ti GPU will bring unprecedented experiences to gamers. This serves as a reminder that the power of technology lies not only in its functionality but also in how it enriches our lives. Gaming is not just a form of entertainment but also an art form. With a powerful GPU, we can experience more realistic graphics and smoother gaming experiences, as if entering another world.
2. Nvidia Avatar Cloud Engine
Jensen Huang announced the Nvidia Avatar Cloud Engine (ACE) for Games, which provides pre-trained AI models to game developers, enabling NPC characters to become more personality-driven through AI language interaction. This innovation, in my eyes, is not only a technical breakthrough but also a new milestone in social interaction. Through this, we can see how AI is further infiltrating our daily lives and might even change the way we interact with the world.
3. Grace Hopper & DGX GH200
Nvidia's GH200 Grace Hopper is now in full-scale production. This superchip elevates 4 PetaFLOPS TE, connects 72 Arm CPUs via chip-to-chip links, and encompasses 96GB HBM3 and 576 GPU memory. Huang described it as the world's first accelerated computation processor, possessing massive memory. This is a computer, not just a chip, designed for highly reliable data center applications.
If the memory of Grace Hopper isn't enough, Nvidia has a solution — the DGX GH200. It begins by connecting eight Grace Hoppers with three NVLLINK switches, then linking these Pods at a speed of 900GB. Finally, 32 units are connected together, with another layer of switches added, totaling 256 Grace Hopper chips. The resulting ExaFLOPS converter engine, with its 144TB of GPU memory, operates as a colossal GPU.
Google Cloud, Meta, and Microsoft will be among the first companies to acquire the DGX GH200 for functionality research.
These two products will bring a tremendous transformation to data centers, elevating AI computation to new heights. These technological innovations not only boost computational capability but also exemplify human intelligence, demonstrating that we can break boundaries and accomplish what was once unimaginable through technology.
4. Cuda Computational Model
The Cuda computational model now serves over four million developers and more than three thousand applications, including 40 million downloads, 25 million of which occurred within the past year alone. These astonishing figures help us understand that Cuda is not just a powerful tool but also a robust community. It gives developers worldwide the opportunity to share resources, learn, innovate, and solve problems. This power shows us that no matter where we are, given ideas and determination, we are capable of creating things that can make an impact on the world.
5. HGX H100 GPU Server
The HGX H100 GPU server is now in full-scale production, manufactured entirely in Taiwan. Jensen Huang expressed that this is the world's first computer equipped with a transformer engine. This brings to mind that the power of technology is the ability to turn our imaginations into reality, breaking traditional frames, and creating something entirely new. When we witness such innovation, we are also inspired to pursue our dreams and attempt what we once thought was impossible.
6. Spectrum-X Accelerated Network Platform
Huang announced the Spectrum-X accelerated network platform to boost the speed of Ethernet clouds, setting a new standard for data transmission. It includes the Spectrum 4 switch, boasting 128 ports at 400GB per second and a speed of 51.2T per second. Huang stated that this switch aims to achieve a new type of Ethernet and is designed end-to-end for adaptive routing, performance isolation, and internal cabling computation. It also encompasses the Bluefield 3 Smart Nic, which connects to the Spectrum 4 switch for congestion control.
In our lives, rapid and reliable data transmission has become increasingly crucial. The emergence of the Spectrum-X platform allows us to understand that no matter where we are, we can receive and send data quickly and smoothly. This connectivity not only helps us stay connected with the world but also empowers us to create more innovative products and services.
7. Isaac AMR Robot Platform
The Isaac AMR robot platform is a full-stack solution, complete from chip to sensor. This not only shows us the progress of AI in robotic technology but more importantly, it tells us not to be afraid to experiment and innovate. Everyone can use the Isaac AMR platform to build their own robots. This is an open platform to the public, where both beginners and experienced engineers can create and learn.
8. Omniverse Content Engine
The Omniverse Content Engine is an inspiring innovation. In collaboration with WPP, the world's largest advertising company, Nvidia will utilize this platform to produce photos and video content for advertising. Omniverse makes us understand that technology can not only solve our problems but also create beauty and art. It shows us that innovation and aesthetics are not opposite, but can inspire and influence each other.
9. Cooperation with SoftBank
Nvidia and SoftBank have established a partnership, bringing the Grace Hopper superchip into SoftBank's new distributed data center in Japan. They will be able to host AI and wireless applications on a multi-tenant shared server platform, thereby reducing costs and energy consumption. This not only reflects the power of technological innovation but also proves that we can solve environmental problems through innovation and achieve sustainable development.
Embrace AI: Become a New Force for Change
We are standing at the threshold of a new era, an era characterized by deep integration of artificial intelligence and technology. In this era, every one of us has the opportunity to be a force for change.
