Jen-Hsun Huang: Computing platform changes and the importance of accelerated computing

News on June 28, it is understood that at the developer conference of the US data platform Snowflake, NVIDIA founder Huang Jensen conducted an in-depth discussion on how to introduce generative artificial intelligence (AI) to enterprise users, and shared his Unique insights.

We are currently experiencing the first revolution in computing platforms in 60 years, Huang Renxun pointed out. He emphasized that if you buy a large number of central processing units (CPUs) next year, your computing throughput will not increase. Therefore, the use of accelerated computing platforms becomes particularly important. This is the value of NVIDIA accelerated computing platforms.

Huang Renxun believes that many computing concepts, such as central processing unit, IO subsystem, DMA controller, virtual memory, multitasking, etc., are relics of 1964. These concepts have helped users expand CPU capabilities for the past 60 years, but are now obsolete.

# He further emphasized that computing has undergone fundamental changes and buying more CPUs can no longer solve the problem.

Huang Jenxun added that although NVIDIA GPUs are expensive, using the model is equivalent to getting a 95% discount. He pointed out that on any cloud platform, NVIDIA GPUs are the most expensive computing resource, but their performance is as good as if you were getting a huge discount.

Huang Renxun’s views have aroused the attention and thinking of the industry, and his words also reflect Nvidia’s leadership and technical advantages in the field of accelerated computing.

The speech at the Snowflake Developer Conference provided valuable guidance and inspiration for enterprise users, teaching them how to make full use of generative AI. As computing platforms change, enterprises need to re-evaluate the allocation and utilization of computing resources to cope with growing computing demands and challenges. NVIDIA will continue to work hard to promote technological innovation and become the world's leading computing platform provider to provide more efficient and reliable solutions for enterprise users.
