NVIDIA CEO: AI Workloads Will "Flood" Data Centers Data Center Knowledge

During a keynote at his company's big annual conference in Silicon Valley last week, NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang took several hours to announce the chipmaker's latest products and innovations, but also to drive home the inevitability of the force that is Artificial Intelligence. NVIDIA is the top maker of GPUs used in computing systems for Machine Learning, currently the part of the AI field where most action is happening. GPUs work in tandem with CPUs, accelerating the processing necessary to both train machines to do certain tasks and to execute them. "Machine Learning is one of the most important computer revolutions ever," Huang said. "The number of [research] papers in Deep Learning is just absolutely explosive."
