Nvidia unveils powerful Grace AI supercomputing CPU And Drive Atlan secure autonomous vehicle platform
At its 2021 GPU Technology Conference (GTC) today, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang disclosed a bevy of new products on the company’s roadmap that are intended to accelerate machine learning, AI and High Performance Compute (HPC) workloads in applications from supercomputing to big data analytics and autonomous vehicles. There were a number of new technologies announced during Mr. Huang’s keynote today, some of which are centered on ecosystem support of these technologies, along with industry partner commitments. That said, let’s focus on two major chip-level product announcements here, though I’d encourage you to check out all of Nvidia’s disclosures at the company’s virtual GTC ‘21 site where registration is free. In fact, “Nvidia is now a three-chip company,” noted Huang at the introduction of its new ‘Grace’ CPU, marking the announcement of the company’s first primary host processor for specialized applications in support of GPUs (Graphics Processing Units) and in conjunction with DPUs (Data Processing Units).
