AI Woodstock

 



Last week, I attended the NVIDIA GTC conference which was heralded as ‘AI Woodstock'.  The conference was a whirlwind of technology, academia, media, and business in an incredible exchange of AI visions, progresses, and achievements.  It was one big schmooze time!

Pivotal technical achievement:  NVIDIA has accelerated the computing power model so much that Moore’s Law might have expired.  For the past 4 decades, Moore’s Law stated that the computing power of the semiconductor chips would essentially double every two years, 10 times in five years, or 100 times in 10 years with minimal rise in cost. 


But NVIDIA’s integration of powerful GPUs (latest Blackwell GPU packed with 208 billion transistors), innovative CUDA software platform, and advanced networking has eclipsed Moore’s Law. Over the last 8 years, NVIDIA has increased the computing power of its GPUs by a massive 1,000 times!
