It is often easy to forget that GPU stands for Graphics Processing Unit, but in yesterday’s busy GTC 2023 (GPU Technology Conference) sessions, Nvidia announced no less than four new processors (the company's own word) as it looks to cement its position as the AI hardware champion with barely any competition in sight. The extraordinary success of ChatGPT has helped shape the narrative, boosting demand for bigger, better, larger, more powerful inference computing platforms. “The number of applications for generative AI is infinite, limited only by human imagination. Arming developers with the most powerful and flexible inference computing platform will accelerate the creation of new services that will improve our lives in ways not yet imaginable.” said Jensen Huang, founder and CEO of NVIDIA. Because Nvidia has a much smaller set of customers to service, it can deliver fine tuned products for specific tasks. The new L4 for AI video is 120x more powerful at … [Read more...] about Move asides CPU, today is the day the GPU takes over your kingdom

A Revolution Rendered in Real Time: NVIDIA Accelerates Neural Graphics at GDC
Gamers wanted better graphics. GPUs delivered. Those GPUs became the key to the world-changing AI revolution. Now gamers are reaping the benefits. At GDC 2023 in San Francisco this week, the gaming industry’s premier developers conference, NVIDIA made a series of announcements, including new games and game development tools that promise to accelerate innovations at the intersection of neural networking and graphics, or neural graphics revolution. DLSS 3 harnesses modern AI — built on GPU-accelerated deep learning, a form of neural networking — as a powerful gaming performance multiplier. DLSS allows games to render 1/8th of the pixels, then uses AI and GeForce RTX Tensor Cores to reconstruct the rest, dramatically multiplying frame rates, while delivering crisp, high-quality images that rival native resolution. It’s just one example of how gamers are benefiting from the advancements in AI supercomputing showcased at this week’s NVIDIA GTC technology conference, which is … [Read more...] about A Revolution Rendered in Real Time: NVIDIA Accelerates Neural Graphics at GDC
Best Kodi XBMC streaming boxes of 2023: the best hardware for Kodi streaming
Kodi boxes, also known as Android TV boxes, are massively popular. The best models deliver 4K video to your TV and allow you unfettered access to audio and video streams of every format and service. If there's a better, more versatile piece of AV software out there, we've yet to see it. On top of giving you the capability to stream video and music files over a local network, the software also includes the ability to install add-ons to stream from almost any streaming service you could think of, including Amazon Prime Instant Video , Spotify and Netflix. One of the main selling points of Kodi is the fact that it’s supported by pretty much any platform you could think of, up to and including macOS, Android, Linux and Windows. The only real drawback we can think of is that Kodi doesn’t actually manufacture streaming boxes (no, the official Kodi Raspberry Pi case doesn't count), so you need to find your own device to run it on. Luckily, dozens of manufacturers the … [Read more...] about Best Kodi XBMC streaming boxes of 2023: the best hardware for Kodi streaming

‘Cyberpunk 2077’ Brings Beautiful Path-Traced Visuals to GDC
Game developer CD PROJEKT RED today at the Game Developers Conference in San Francisco unveiled a technology preview for Cyberpunk 2077 with path tracing, coming April 11. Path tracing, also known as full ray tracing, accurately simulates light throughout an entire scene. It’s used by visual effects artists to create film and TV graphics that are indistinguishable from reality. But until the arrival of GeForce RTX GPUs with RT Cores, and the AI-powered acceleration of NVIDIA DLSS , real-time video game path tracing was impossible because it is extremely GPU intensive. “This not only gives better visuals to the players but also has the promise to revolutionize the entire pipeline of how games are being created,” said Pawel Kozlowski, a senior technology developer engineer at NVIDIA. This technology preview, Cyberpunk 2077 ’s Ray Tracing: Overdrive Mode, is a sneak peak into the future of full ray tracing. With full ray tracing, now practically all light sources cast … [Read more...] about ‘Cyberpunk 2077’ Brings Beautiful Path-Traced Visuals to GDC
Nvidia zet in op ChatGPT en dat is geen goed nieuws voor gamers
Nvidia zet volledig in op ChatGPT. Tijdens de GTC 2023-toespraak van het bedrijf op dinsdag 21 maart, benadrukte Nvidia's CEO Jensen Huang de toenemende focus van het bedrijf op AI. Nvidia hoopt AI naar vrijwel elke industrie te brengen. "De warpaandrijving is versnelde rekenkracht, en de energiebron is AI," zei Huang tijdens zijn toespraak (opens in new tab) . “De indrukwekkende mogelijkheden van generatieve AI hebben voor een druk gezorgd bij bedrijven om hun producten en business modellen aan te passen." De toespraak duurde 78 minuten en was heel erg bedrijfsgericht. Bijna het hele evenement was gefocust op 'cloud computing' en servertechnologie, zoals de nieuwe Grace CPU van server-kwaliteit. Er werd echter ook gepraat over producten die meer gericht zijn op e consument, waaronder ChatGPT , het viral 'large language model' (LLM) dat iedereen inmiddels gebruikt voor het schrijven van scripts, voor huiswerk en zelfs om examens te halen. ChatGPT is erg … [Read more...] about Nvidia zet in op ChatGPT en dat is geen goed nieuws voor gamers

It Takes a Village: 100+ NVIDIA MLOps and AI Platform Partners Help Enterprises Move AI Into Production
Building AI applications is hard. Putting them to use across a business can be even harder. Less than one-third of enterprises that have begun adopting AI actually have it in production, according to a recent IDC survey . Businesses often realize the full complexity of operationalizing AI just prior to launching an application. Problems discovered so late can seem insurmountable, so the deployment effort is often stalled and forgotten. To help enterprises get AI deployments across the finish line, more than 100 machine learning operations ( MLOps ) software providers are working with NVIDIA. These MLOps pioneers provide a broad array of solutions to support businesses in optimizing their AI workflows for both existing operational pipelines and ones built from scratch. Many NVIDIA MLOps and AI platform ecosystem partners as well as DGX-Ready Software partners, including Canonical, ClearML, Dataiku, Domino Data Lab, Run:ai and Weights & Biases, are building solutions … [Read more...] about It Takes a Village: 100+ NVIDIA MLOps and AI Platform Partners Help Enterprises Move AI Into Production
Banned Chinese firms are simply renting US cloud tech – and getting a pretty decent deal
In recent years, the US has added a growing number of Chinese firms to a list that prohibits them from doing certain types of business with the country. Many of those sanctions include a ban on buying technology, but it seems that some Chinese companies have found a way around this though, by renting what they need, and it seems to be costing less than one would expect. According to a recent Financial Times (opens in new tab) report, Chinese AI groups are using intermediaries and third parties to get access to US chips, rendering any sanctions against them pretty inefficient. China avoids US bans Targeted companies in China have been found to either be buying hardware through subsidiary companies or renting it through cloud providers. According to the Financial Times, Chinese state-backed voice recognition company iFlytek has been renting Nvidia A100 GPUs, while Hong Kong-based facial recognition firm SenseTime has succeeded in buying banned tech through … [Read more...] about Banned Chinese firms are simply renting US cloud tech – and getting a pretty decent deal
