DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION
Announced at the company ’ s annual GTC conference , the company ’ s latest processor generation – Blackwell – targets advances in data processing , engineering simulation , automation , computer-aided drug design and quantum computing .
According to Nvidia , the Blackwell GPU architecture features six transformative technologies for accelerated computing , which will help unlock breakthroughs in data processing , engineering simulation , electronic design automation , computer-aided drug design , quantum computing and Gen AI .
At its conference , Nvidia also announced its latest HGX B200 and HGX B100 chips to propel data centres into a new era of accelerating computing and Gen AI . As a premier accelerated scale-up platform with up to 15X more inference performance than the previous generation , Blackwell-based HGX systems are designed for the most demanding generative AI , data analytics , and HPC workloads .
It followed the 2023 release of Nvidia ’ s H200 , a new high-end chip for training AI models : an upgrade from the H100 – the chip that OpenAI used to train GPT-4 .
“ Generative AI is the defining technology of our time , ” said CEO Jensen Huang . “ Blackwell is the engine to power this new industrial revolution . Working with the most dynamic companies in the world , we will realise the promise of AI for every industry .”
