As a marine biology student, Josef Melchner always dreamed of spending his days cruising the oceans to find dolphins, whales and fish — but also “wanted to do something practical, something that would benefit the world,” he said. When it came time to choose a career, he dove head first into aquaculture. He’s now CEO of GoSmart, an Israel-based company using AI and machine learning to make fish farming more efficient and sustainable. A member of the NVIDIA Metropolis vision AI partner ecosystem and the NVIDIA Inception program for cutting-edge startups, GoSmart offers fully autonomous, energy ..read more

Jiusheng Chen’s team just got accelerated. They’re delivering personalized ads to users of Microsoft Bing with 7x throughput at reduced cost, thanks to NVIDIA Triton Inference Server running on NVIDIA A100 Tensor Core GPUs. It’s an amazing achievement for the principal software engineering manager and his crew. Tuning a Complex System Bing’s ad service uses hundreds of models that are constantly evolving. Each must respond to a request within as little as 10 milliseconds, about 10x faster than the blink of an eye. The latest speedup got its start with two innovations the team delivered to mak ..read more

Editor’s note: This is part of a series profiling researchers advancing science with high performance computing.  Maria Girone is expanding the world’s largest network of scientific computers with accelerated computing and AI. Since 2002, the Ph.D. in particle physics has worked on a grid of systems across 170 sites in more than 40 countries that support CERN’s Large Hadron Collider (LHC), itself poised for a major upgrade. A high-luminosity version of the giant accelerator (HL-LHC) will produce 10x more proton collisions, spawning exabytes of data a year. That’s an order of magnitude mo ..read more

Neuralangelo, a new AI model by NVIDIA Research for 3D reconstruction using neural networks, turns 2D video clips into detailed 3D structures — generating lifelike virtual replicas of buildings, sculptures and other real-world objects. Like Michelangelo sculpting stunning, life-like visions from blocks of marble, Neuralangelo generates 3D structures with intricate details and textures. Creative professionals can then import these 3D objects into design applications, editing them further for use in art, video game development, robotics and industrial digital twins. Neuralangelo’s ability to tr ..read more

In his first live keynote since the pandemic, NVIDIA founder and CEO Jensen Huang today kicked off the COMPUTEX conference in Taipei, announcing platforms that companies can use to ride a historic wave of generative AI that’s transforming industries from advertising to manufacturing to telecom. “We’re back,” Huang roared as he took the stage after years of virtual keynotes, some from his home kitchen. “I haven’t given a public speech in almost four years — wish me luck!” Speaking for nearly two hours to a packed house of some 3,500, he described accelerated computing services, software and sy ..read more

For about six years, AI has been an integral part of the artwork of Dominic Harris, a London-based digital artist who’s about to launch his biggest exhibition to date. “I use it for things like giving butterflies a natural sense of movement,” said Harris, whose typical canvas is an interactive computer display. Using a rack of NVIDIA’s latest GPUs in his studio, Harris works with his team of more than 20 designers, developers and other specialists to create artworks like Unseen. It renders a real-time collage of 13,000 butterflies — some fanciful, each unique, but none real. Exhibit-goers can ..read more

Generative AI — in the form of large language model (LLM) applications like ChatGPT, image generators such as Stable Diffusion and Adobe Firefly, and game rendering techniques like NVIDIA DLSS 3 Frame Generation — is rapidly ushering in a new era of computing for productivity, content creation, gaming and more. At the Microsoft Build developer conference, NVIDIA and Microsoft today showcased a suite of advancements in Windows 11 PCs and workstations with NVIDIA RTX GPUs to meet the demands of generative AI. More than 400 Windows apps and games already employ AI technology, accelerated by dedi ..read more

Chip manufacturing is an “ideal application” for NVIDIA accelerated and AI computing, NVIDIA founder and CEO Jensen Huang said Tuesday. Detailing how the latest advancements in computing are accelerating “the world’s most important industry,” Huang spoke at ITF World 2023 semiconductor conference in Antwerp, Belgium. Huang delivered his remarks via video to a gathering of leaders from across the semiconductor, technology and communications industries. “I am thrilled to see NVIDIA accelerated computing and AI in service of the world’s chipmaking industry,” Huang said as he detailed how advance ..read more

As a medical doctor in Nigeria, Tobi Olatunji knows the stress of practicing in Africa’s busy hospitals. As a machine-learning scientist, he has a prescription for it. “I worked at one of West Africa’s largest hospitals, where I would routinely see more than 30 patients a day —  it’s a very hard job,” said Olatunji. The need to write detailed patient notes and fill out forms makes it even harder. Paper records slowed the pace of medical research, too. In his first years of practice, Olatunji imagined a program to plow through the mounds of paperwork, freeing doctors to help more patients ..read more
