Nvidia has spent much of the year launching new products and partnerships that aim to ensure it keeps its place atop the wild west that is still the AI market while establishing its place in the emerging quantum computing space, where co-founder and chief executive officer Jensen Huang sees Nvidia being a key infrastructure provider and accelerator.
Most recently, Nvidia’s GTC Washington DC conference in late October featured the company’s typical fire hose of announcements, with Huang and other Nvidia executives unveiling new products like NVQLink, an open high-speed interconnect that links quantum processors to GPUs in supercomputers to create what the company calls “accelerated quantum supercomputers,” BlueField-4, a digital processing unit (DPU) that combines a 64-core variant of the “Grace” CPU and a ConnectX-9 to create an 800 Gb/sec platform for giga-scale AI factories, and open AI models and data.
At the SC25 supercomputing conference this week in St. Louis, much of the focus for Nvidia will be to showcase the partnerships and customer wins coalescing around such technologies, showing the reach it has in the industry and the seemingly ubiquitous nature of its technology. For example, the company announced that more than 80 new Nvidia-powered scientific systems around the world have been introduced over the past year, combining for a total of 4,500 exaflops of AI (meaning the lowest precision on the machines) performance.
