Nvidia Rolls out A Scaleable Edge Computing AI Platform

"The Nvidia EGX platform dramatically accelerates inference at the edge, allowing us to see subtle defects that human operators haven't been able to see in the past. Nvidia has unwrapped a new edge computing platform, the EGX range, which aims to make machine learning and AI viable as close as possible to the site of data consumption/production. Edge computing is becoming increasing popular as enterprises look to lower latency and the efficient use of bandwidth. Nvidia wants to be the computational power behind the intelligence in devices out on the edge. Speaking to investors during an earnings call, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang noted that as AI systems grow and the data that they have to process expands to incredible scales, he believes that much of the processing of AI capabilities will happen in or close to the edge. In that call he stated: "It's too much data to move all the way to the cloud.
