Nvidia debuts supercomputing platform to deliver AI at the network edge - SiliconANGLE

Nvidia Corp. took to the stage at the Mobile World Congress in Los Angeles late Monday to announce availability of its new EGX Edge Supercomputing Platform that's all about harnessing so-called "edge data" for artificial intelligence purposes. Nvidia founder and Chief Executive Jensen Huang said EGX would enable companies to harness rapidly streaming data from factory floors or city streets to deliver "next-generation AI, Internet of Things and 5G-based services" at scale and with lower latency. "We've entered a new era, where billions of always-on IoT sensors will be connected by 5G and processed by AI," Huang said in a statement. "Its foundation requires a new class of highly secure, networked computers operated with ease from far away. We've created the Nvidia EGX Edge Supercomputing Platform for this world, where computing moves beyond personal and beyond the cloud to operate at planetary scale."
