Inside Volta: The World's Most Advanced Data Center GPU Parallel Forall

Today at the 2017 GPU Technology Conference in San Jose, NVIDIA CEO Jen-Hsun Huang announced the new NVIDIA Tesla V100, the most advanced accelerator ever built. From recognizing speech to training virtual personal assistants to converse naturally; from detecting lanes on the road to teaching autonomous cars to drive; data scientists are taking on increasingly complex challenges with AI. Solving these kinds of problems requires training exponentially more complex deep learning models in a practical amount of time. HPC is a fundamental pillar of modern science. From predicting weather, to discovering drugs, to finding new energy sources, researchers use large computing systems to simulate and predict our world. AI extends traditional HPC by allowing researchers to analyze large volumes of data for rapid insights where simulation alone cannot fully predict the real world.
