Problem Solved: STEM Studies Supercharged With RTX and AI Technologies

07/08/2024

Editor's note: This post is part of the AI Decoded series, which demystifies AI by making the technology more accessible, and showcases new hardware, software, tools and accelerations for RTX PC users.

AI powered by NVIDIA GPUs is accelerating nearly every industry, creating high demand for graduates, especially from STEM fields, who are proficient in using the technology. Millions of students worldwide are participating in university STEM programs to learn skills that will set them up for career success.

To prepare students for the future job market, NVIDIA has worked with top universities to develop a GPU-accelerated AI curriculum that's now taught in more than 5,000 schools globally. Students can get a jumpstart outside of class with NVIDIA's AI Learning Essentials, a set of resources that equips individuals with the necessary knowledge, skills and certifications for the rapidly evolving AI workforce.

NVIDIA GPUs - whether running in university data centers, GeForce RTX laptops or NVIDIA RTX workstations - are accelerating studies, helping enhance the learning experience and enabling students to gain hands-on experience with hardware used widely in real-world applications.

Supercharged AI Studies NVIDIA provides several tools to help students accelerate their studies.

The RTX AI Toolkit is a powerful resource for students looking to develop and customize AI models for projects in computer science, data science, and other STEM fields. It allows students to train and fine-tune the latest generative AI models, including Gemma, Llama 3 and Phi 3, up to 30x faster - enabling them to iterate and innovate more efficiently, advancing their studies and research projects.

Students studying data science and economics can use NVIDIA RAPIDS AI and data science software libraries to run traditional machine learning models up to 25x faster than conventional methods, helping them handle large datasets more efficiently, perform complex analyses in record time and gain deeper insights from data.

AI-deal for Robotics, Architecture and Design Students studying robotics can tap the NVIDIA Isaac platform for developing, testing and deploying AI-powered robotics applications. Powered by NVIDIA GPUs, the platform consists of NVIDIA-accelerated libraries, applications frameworks and AI models that supercharge the development of AI-powered robots like autonomous mobile robots, arms and manipulators, and humanoids.

While GPUs have long been used for 3D design, modeling and simulation, their role has significantly expanded with the advancement of AI. GPUs are today used to run AI models that dramatically accelerate rendering processes.

Some industry-standard design tools powered by NVIDIA GPUs and AI include:

SOLIDWORKS Visualize: This 3D computer-aided design rendering software uses NVIDIA Optix AI-powered denoising to produce high-quality ray-traced visuals, streamlining the design process by providing faster, more accurate visual feedback.

Blender: This popular 3D creation suite uses NVIDIA Optix AI-powered denoising to deliver stunning ray-traced visuals, significantly accelerating content creation workflows.

D5 Render: Commonly used by architects, interior designers and engineers, D5 Render incorporates NVIDIA DLSS technology for real-time viewport rendering, enabling smoother, more detailed visualizations without sacrificing performance. Powered by fourth-generation Tensor Cores and the NVIDIA Optical Flow Accelerator on GeForce RTX 40 Series GPUs and NVIDIA RTX Ada Generation GPUs, DLSS uses AI to create additional frames and improve image quality.

Enscape: Enscape makes it possible to ray trace more geometry at a higher resolution, at exactly the same frame rate. It uses DLSS to enhance real-time rendering capabilities, providing architects and designers with seamless, high-fidelity visual previews of their projects.

Beyond STEM Students, hobbyists and aspiring artists use the NVIDIA Studio platform to supercharge their creative processes with RTX and AI. RTX GPUs power creative apps such as Adobe Creative Cloud, Autodesk, Unity and more, accelerating a variety of processes such as exporting videos and rendering art.

ChatRTX is a demo app that lets students create a personalized GPT large language model connected to their own content and study materials, including text, images or other data. Powered by advanced AI, ChatRTX functions like a personalized chatbot that can quickly provide students relevant answers to questions based on their connected content. The app runs locally on a Windows RTX PC or workstation, meaning students can get fast, secure results personalized to their needs.

NVIDIA ChatRTX user interface. Schools are increasingly adopting remote learning as a teaching modality. NVIDIA Broadcast - a free application that delivers professional-level audio and video with AI-powered features on RTX PCs and workstations - integrates seamlessly with remote learning applications including BlueJeans, Discord, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, Webex and Zoom. It uses AI to enhance remote learning experiences by removing background noise, improving image quality in low-light scenarios, and enabling background blur and background replacement.
