NVIDIA is the top maker of GPUs used in computing systems for Machine Learning, currently the part of the AI field where most action is happening. GPUs work in tandem with CPUs, accelerating the processing necessary to both train machines to do certain tasks and to execute them.
βMachine Learning is one of the most important computer revolutions ever,β Huang said. βThe number of [research] papers in Deep Learning is just absolutely explosive.β (Deep Learning is a class of Machine Learning algorithms where innovation has skyrocketed in recent years.) βThereβs no way to keep up. There is now 10 times as much investment in AI companies since 10 years ago. Thereβs no question weβre seeing explosive growth.β
