NVIDIA: Powering AI GPU innovation

I hope by this time you have got a basic understanding of all the fundamental required for learning NVIDIA technology and passing the certification. Let's now go to the core concept of NVIDIA technology stack. I want to talk a little bit on the history of NVIDIA, how this innovation actually started. So the starting point for NVIDIA came in 1993 when it was founded. And in 1995, they came up with a graphic card called NV1. They started looking into enhancing this graphic capability. And that's where they came up with something called GeForce 256. That was first product NVIDIA called a GPU. So the term or the name is coined by NVIDIA called GPU, Graphics Processing Unit. So it started with gaming routes. Then they realized there's a potential of using GPUs for programmability. So they expanded this concept to other methods through GPU core programmability or CPU core programmability. And then they have came up with parallel compute architecture. So in 2012-17 time frame, they came up…
