I am an explorer.
Searching for the origins of our universe.
And charting a safer path to other worlds.
I am a helper.
Moving us forward, one step at a time.
And giving voice to every emotion.
I love you.
I am a healer.
Modeling the future of medicine.
And finding the needle in a haystack when every second counts.
I am a visionary.
Uncovering masterpieces lost to the ages.
And finding new adventures in a galaxy far far away.
I am a builder.
Driving perfection in everything we create.
I am even the narrator of the story you are watching.
And the composer of the music.
And when the world faces its greatest challenge.
I give us the power to take it on together.
I AM AI
Welcome to GTC!
This is one of the biggest ones ever.
Over 1000 sessions, 400 more than last GTC.
This is the first GTC that will run across the world's time zones.
With sessions in Chinese, Korean, Japanese and Hebrew, all in local times.
I would like to thank all the speakers and sponsoring partners for helping us make this a great GTC.
This is an amazing time for the computer industry and the world.
As mobile cloud matures, the age of AI is beginning.
Why is AI so important?
Why is it the most powerful technology force of our time?
Computing is the technology of automation. Software algorithms automate.
Automation drives productivity and growth for industries.
For example, farming automated food production and revolutionized society.
Automation lowers cost for consumers and make life more convenient.
Automatic electricity and water improved our quality of life.
Automation, at large scales lead to breakthroughs.
Just as search has automated getting information and getting answers.
There are many things we'd like to automate.
We are limited by our ability to write the software.
Finally, after decades of research, deep learning, the abundance of data, the powerful computation
of GPUs came together in a big bang of modern AI.
Now software can write software.
So, AI is the automation of automation.
Incredible implications.
Let's explore some of it today.
The software written by AI is very different than that written by a human.
It is vastly more parallel, and thousands-to-millions-of-times more compute intensive.
The method of developing the software is different, the computing infrastructure is different,
the tools are different, the software runs differently, and even the method of deployment is different.
AI requires a whole reinvention of computing, full-stack rethinking, from chips,
to systems, algorithms, tools, the ecosystem.
NVIDIA is a full stack computing company.
We love working on extremely hard computing problems that have great impact on the world.
This is right in our wheelhouse.
We're all-in to advance and democratize this new form of computing for the age of AI.
NVIDIA's dedicated to advancing accelerated computing.
Enabling developer's success on our platform is core to everything we do.
GTC is all about developers.
Developers adopt a new platform only if it solves a problem 10 times better and that
has a large and growing install base.
And developers need great tools.
Domain after domain, graphics, high-performance computing, data science and analytics,
artificial intelligence, healthcare, self-driving cars, robotics, to the 5G Edge.
NVIDIA created platform SDKs to make it easier for developers to tap into the power of NVIDIA computing
and make it easy to deploy your software on NVIDIA computers in every cloud and any data center and edge.
This GTC we're releasing 80 new and updated SDKs.
There are now a total of 110 SDKs.
Developers need an architecturally compatible and significant install base.
NVIDIA has shipped over 1 billion CUDA compatible GPUs.
CUDA SDK has been downloaded 20 million times, and 6 million times this year alone.
It is clearly accelerating.
1,800 applications are now CUDA-accelerated.
There are 6,500 startups building on NVIDIA.
The top developer SDKs included NVIDIA AI, NVIDIA RTX, NVIDIA RAPIDS for data science,
and NVIDIA ISAAC and DRIVE for robotics and autonomous machines.
There are over 2 million NVIDIA developers now.
600,000 joined this last year.
To all, a big welcome!
