Huang believes the innovations will facilitate new business models and enhance efficiency across a multitude of industries.
In a highly anticipated keynote at COMPUTEX Taipei, Nvidia founder and CEO Jensen Huang unveiled a range of cutting-edge systems, software and services that leverage the power of generative AI to reshape various sectors — from advertising to manufacturing to telecommunications. The live event marked Huang’s first in-person keynote since the onset of the pandemic.
Huang said he believes these innovations will not only facilitate new business models but also significantly enhance the efficiency of existing models across a multitude of industries.
One of the keynote’s highlights was the official launch of Grace Hopper, a platform that combines the energy-efficient Nvidia Grace CPU with the high-performance Nvidia H100 Tensor Core GPU. This all-in-one module empowers enterprises to achieve unparalleled AI performance, said Huang.
Furthermore, Huang introduced the DGX GH200, an AI supercomputer with extensive memory capabilities capable of integrating up to 256 Nvidia Grace Hopper Superchips in a single data-center-sized GPU.Advanced performance and memory
With an exaflop of performance and 144 terabytes of shared memory, the DGX GH200 surpasses its predecessors by almost 500 times, enabling developers to build intricate language models for GenAI chatbots, advanced algorithms for recommender system and sophisticated graph neural networks for tasks like fraud detection and data analytics. Huang said that tech giants like Google Cloud, Meta and Microsoft are already exploring the capabilities of DGX GH200 for their generative AI workloads.
Huang emphasized that, “DGX GH200 AI supercomputers integrate Nvidia’s most advanced accelerated computing and networking technologies, pushing the boundaries of AI.”
Huang also unveiled the Nvidia Avatar Cloud Engine (ACE) for Games, a foundry service that empowers developers to create and deploy custom AI models for speech, conversation and animation. ACE equips non-playable characters with conversational abilities, allowing them to respond to inquiries with evolving lifelike personalities.
The toolkit encompasses essential AI foundation models such as Nvidia Riva for speech detection and transcription, Nvidia NeMo for generating customized responses and Nvidia Omniverse Audio2Face for animating these responses.
Additionally, Nvidia announced its collaboration with Microsoft to drive innovation in the generative AI era for Windows PCs. The partnership involves developing enhanced tools, frameworks and drivers that streamline AI development and deployment process on PCs.
The collaboration aims to enhance and expand the installed base of more than 100 million PCs with RTX GPUs featuring Tensor Cores, thereby boosting the performance of more than 400 AI-accelerated Windows applications and games.
