Nvidia’s GPU Expertise Convention (GTC) takes place in San Jose subsequent week, not terribly removed from San Franciso concurrently internet hosting the Sport Developer’s Convention within the coronary heart of town. Regardless of geographic proximity, the subject material of each conferences will doubtless be a world aside, as Nvidia CEO Jen Huang appears to be aiming for much less of a speak about what Nvidia will do for gaming and extra what it is going to do for AI.
In Nvidia’s GTC session catalog, the keynote is described succinctly: “Don’t miss this keynote from NVIDIA founder and CEO Jensen Huang. He’ll share how NVIDIA’s accelerated computing platform is driving the subsequent wave in AI, digital twins, cloud applied sciences, and sustainable computing.”
