It is a dynamic and threshold breaking time for advancing innovation across Conversational Artificial Intelligence, Computer Vision and Recommender Systems (RecSys), with NVIDIA accelerating new ground with the launch of TensorRT 8, alongside multiple RecSys competition successes - more on this news in depth shortly! But firstly, let's set the scene on exactly why this matters so much today. As we move into an Era of Convergence blending algorithm, engineering and culture alike, and reflecting both the level of integration and the increased pace of socio-technical change, it becomes imperative to manage the demands this inevitably creates - in order to optimise the vast opportunities. Deep learning is a case in point - applicable to a diverse and growing range of industries from medical devices through to conversational IVR and automated driving; and across a wide range of applications in production, including image and video analysis, natural language processing (NLP) and recommender systems. But as the number of applications increases so do the demands!

Whether you are building a machine learning model for research or for a business function, the whole of point of creating a model is to perform inference. Currently, TensorRT provides the most performant way to achieve just that. And TensorRT 8 takes it to the next level. In this article you will discover the latest capabilities of TensorRT8.
