NVIDIA Brings Data Center, Robotics, Edge Computing, Gaming and Content Creation Innovations to COMPUTEX 2022

Digital twins that revolutionize the way the most complex products are produced. Silicon and software that transforms data centers into AI factories. Gaming advances that bring the world's most popular games to life.

Taiwan has become the engine that brings the latest innovations to the world. So it only makes sense that NVIDIA leaders brought their best ideas to this week's COMPUTEX technology conference in Taipei.

Taiwan is the birthplace of the PC ecosystem and the spirit of COMPUTEX is to celebrate the incredible journey that built this $500 billion industry, Jeff Fisher, senior vice president for gaming products at NVIDIA told attendees.

The headline news:

NVIDIA announced Taiwan's leading computer makers will release the first wave of systems powered by the NVIDIA Grace CPU Superchip and Grace Hopper Superchip for workloads such as digital twins, AI, high-performance computing, cloud graphics and gaming.

NVIDIA announced liquid-cooled NVIDIA A100 GPUs for data centers. They'll be available in the fall as a PCIe card and will ship from OEMs with the HGX A100 server. The H100 Liquid Cooled will be available in the HGX H100 server, and as the H100 PCIe in early 2023.

Partners creating products around the NVIDIA Jetson edge AI and robotics platform announced more than 30 servers and appliances based on the NVIDIA Orin system-on-module.

Momentum for NVIDIA RTX is growing, with over 250 RTX games and applications available, double that at last year's COMPUTEX. And GeForce gamers continue to upgrade, with over 30% now on RTX hardware, logging over 1 and a half billion hours of playtime with RTX. And DLSS is in the games that gamers want to play, with 12 new added to the ever-growing library.

The announcements punctuated a talk from six NVIDIA leaders who wove together advances from robotics to AI, silicon to software and highlighted the work of partners throughout the industry.

Transforming Data Centers First up, NVIDIA VP for Hyperscale and HPC Ian Buck detailed how data centers are transforming into AI factories.

This transformation requires us to reimagine the data center at every level, from hardware to software, from chips to infrastructure to systems, Buck said.

This will drive massive business opportunities for NVIDIA's partners in data centers, HPC, in digital twins and cloud-based gaming referencing a half-trillion market opportunity.

Powering these modern AI factories requires end-to-end innovation at every level, Buck said.

And with data centers becoming AI factories, data processing is essential.

These include NVIDIA Hopper GPUs, NVIDIA Grace CPUs and NVIDIA BlueField DPUs as the building blocks networked together by NVIDIA Quantum and Spectrum switches.

The Bluefield DPU along with the Quantum and Spectrum networking switches comprise the infrastructure platform for the AI factory of the future, said CTO Michael Kagan

NVIDIA technologies will be featured in a wide range of server designs, including NVIDIA CGX for cloud gaming, OVX for digital twins, and HGX Grace and HGX Grace Hopper for science, data analytics and AI.

NVIDIA announced the first wave of systems powered by the NVIDIA Grace CPU Superchip and Grace Hopper Superchip are expected starting in the first half of 2023.

Grace will be amazing at AI, data analytics, scientific computing, and hyperscale computing, said NVIDIA senior VP for hardware engineering Brian Kelleher. And, of course, the full suite of NVIDIA software platforms will run on Grace.

The Grace-powered systems from ASUS, Foxconn Industrial Internet, GIGABYTE, QCT, Supermicro and Wiwynn join x86 and other Arm-based servers to offer customers a broad range of choices.

All of these servers are optimized for NVIDIA accelerated computing software stacks, and can be qualified as part of our NVIDIA-Certified Systems lineup, said Director of Product Management for Accelerated Computing Ying Yin Shih

To provide enterprises with options to deploy green data centers, NVIDIA also announced its first data center PCIe GPU with direct chip liquid cooling.

The liquid-cooled A100 PCIe GPUs will be supported in mainstream servers by at least a dozen system builders, with the first shipping in the third quarter of this year.

All of these combine to deliver the infrastructure of the data center of the future that handles these massive workloads, Buck said.

Finally, getting all of this to run seamlessly requires NVIDIA AI Enterprise software, which delivers robust 24/7 AI deployment, Buck said.

When it comes to reimagining the data center, NVIDIA has the complete, open platform of hardware and software to build the AI factories of the future, Buck said.

Revolutionizing Robotics with AI AI is also reaching more deeply into the world around us.

Deepu Talla, VP of Embedded and Edge Computing, spoke about how the global drive to automation makes robotics a major new application for AI.

NVIDIA announced this week that more than 30 leading partners worldwide will be among those offering the first wave of NVIDIA Jetson AGX Orin-powered production systems at COMPUTEX in Taipei.

New products are coming from a dozen Taiwan-based camera, sensor and hardware providers for use in edge AI, AIoT, robotics and embedded applications.

We are entering the age of robotics - autonomous machines that are keenly aware of their environment and that can make smart decisions about their actions, Talla said.

Available worldwide since GTC in March, the NVIDIA Jetson AGX Orin developer kit delivers 275 trillion operations per second, pack
