NVIDIA gives updates on new GPU technologies at GTC conference

NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang took the stage for a keynote at the company’s GTC conference and gave some exciting updates regarding new technologies from the company.

He announced the GeForce RTX 40 Series GPUs, which are powered by the company’s new Ada Lovelace architecture. Advancements in Ada include a new Streaming Multiprocessor, an RT core with twice the ray-triangle intersection throughput, a new Tensor Core, 1.4 petaflops of Tensor processor power, and the latest version of NVIDIA DLSS technology. 

Huang called this launch a “quantum leap” forward for creating fully simulated worlds. 

He also announced that the next-gen Hopper GPU is in full production and will be ready to ship in a few weeks. Grace Hopper combines the Arm-based Grace data center CPU and Hopper GPUs. It will significantly increase fast-memory capacity and be ideal for recommender systems. Systems with Grace Hopper will be available in the beginning of 2023.

Huang went on to announce DRIVE Thor, which is a processor that can be used for robotics, medical instruments, industrial automation, and edge AI systems. It combines the transformer engine of Hopper, the GPU of Ada, and the CPU of Grace.

Another update is the Nemo LLM Service, which is a cloud service to adapt pretrained LLMs (large language models) to perform specific tasks. According to Huang, LLMs are the most important AI models of today and can be used to understand meanings and languages without supervision. 

“Today, we announced new chips, new advances to our platforms, and, for the very first time, new cloud services,” Huang said. “These platforms propel new breakthroughs in AI, new applications of AI, and the next wave of AI for science and industry.

2022: The year of hybrid work

Remote work was once considered a luxury to many, but in 2020, it became a necessity for a large portion of the workforce, as the scary and unknown COVID-19 virus sickened and even took the lives of so many people around the world.  Some workers were able to thrive in a remote setting, while others felt isolated and struggled to keep up a balance between their work and home lives. Last year saw the availability of life-saving vaccines, so companies were able to start having the conversation about what to do next. Should they keep everyone remote? Should they go back to working in the office full time? Or should they do something in between? Enter hybrid work, which offers a mix of the two. A Fall 2021 study conducted by Google revealed that over 75% of survey respondents expect hybrid work to become a standard practice within their organization within the next three years.  Thus, two years after the world abruptly shifted to widespread adoption of remote work, we are dec...
