2018 Nvidia Corporation Annual Review 2018 NVIDIA CORPORATION ANNUAL REVIEW NOTICE OF ANNUAL MEETING PROXY STATEMENT FORM 10-K GPUS ARE POWERING SOME OF THE HOTTEST TRENDS NOW AND FOR DECADES TO COME. YAHOO FINANCE Scientists using GPU computing were able to “see” gravitational waves for the first time in human history. Twenty-five years ago, we set out to transform computer graphics. Fueled by the massive growth of the gaming market and its insatiable demand for better 3D graphics, we’ve evolved the GPU into a computer brain at the intersection of virtual reality, high performance computing, and artificial intelligence. NVIDIA GPU computing has become the essential tool of the da Vincis and Einsteins of our time. For them, we’ve built the equivalent of a time machine. Jensen Huang CEO and Founder, NVIDIA Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice, as captured by NVIDIA Ansel, a powerful in-game camera that lets users take professional- grade photographs of their games. NVIDIA GEFORCE HAS MOVED FROM GRAPHICS CARD TO GAMING PLATFORM. FORBES At $100 billion, computer gaming is the world’s largest entertainment industry. And with 200 million gamers, NVIDIA GeForce is its largest platform. We continuously innovate across the GeForce platform, from GeForce GTX GPUs to GeForce Experience, and in new technologies like Max-Q that make gaming laptops thinner, quieter and faster. And we’re opening high-end gaming and blockbuster titles to millions of users for the first time with NVIDIA GeForce NOW, a cloud-based service that turns everyday PC and Mac laptops into virtual GeForce gaming machines. NVIDIA’S LATEST TECH IS HERE TO BLOW POSSIBILITIES OF VR WIDE OPEN. ALPHR NVIDIA’s decades-long leadership in computer graphics continues its push into the future with NVIDIA Holodeck, a photorealistic, collaborative VR environment that incorporates the feeling of real-world presence through sight, sound, and haptics. It allows creators to import high-fidelity, full-resolution models into VR to collaborate and share with colleagues or friends. A future where we create nearly everything in a virtual world is on the near horizon. NVIDIA HAS EMERGED AS THE DE FACTO STANDARD IN AI. MARKETWATCH Artificial intelligence is the use of computers intelligence into trillions of computing to simulate human intelligence. AI amplifies devices and be the single largest our cognitive abilities, letting us solve opportunity the industry has ever problems where the complexity is too known. We expect AI to spur a wave great, the information is incomplete, of social progress unmatched since or the details are too subtle and require the industrial revolution. expert training. NVIDIA Volta, the world’s most powerful Learning from data—a computer’s GPU computing architecture, was built version of life experience—is how AI to drive the next wave of AI and HPC. evolves. GPU computing powers the Every major cloud service provider computation required for deep neural now offers Volta instances, and networks to learn to recognize patterns every major computer maker from massive amounts of data (like offers Volta-based servers for identifying more than 7000 flower types on-premise data centers. per second). This new computing model sparked the AI era and will infuse NVIDIA DRIVE PX Pegasus will enable Level 5 driverless vehicles. A supercomputer the size of a license plate, Pegasus delivers 320 TOPS of deep learning performance. Autonomous vehicles will modernize the $10 trillion transportation industry—making our roads safer and our cities more efficient. NVIDIA DRIVE is a scalable AI car platform that spans the entire range of autonomous driving, from traffic-jam pilots to robotaxis. More than 320 companies have adopted NVIDIA DRIVE technology in their data centers and vehicles. They range from car companies and suppliers, to mapping and sensor companies, to startups and research organizations. NVIDIA IS TAKING THE AUTO INDUSTRY BY STORM. U.S. NEWS & WORLD REPORT DEAR NVIDIANS AND STAKEHOLDERS, GPU COMPUTING HAS TAKEN HOLD. What began 25 years ago with our work in computer graphics has evolved to address some of the most important technological trends the world has ever seen. From gaming to AI and from self-driving cars to supercomputers, we approach all of our work and exploration with a common philosophy: focus on the hardest problems that only we can solve. We’re enabling the most demanding computer users in the world—scientists, designers, artists, and gamers—to do their life’s work. Our computers let them create and see the future. To them, NVIDIA has built a time machine. OUR COMPANY IS AT THE EPICENTER OF THE MOST PROMISING ADVANCEMENTS OF OUR AGE Revenue for the year was up 41% to reach in Holodeck, with collaborators beaming developers use the NVIDIA architecture a record $9.71 billion, and gross margins in from remote locations as artificial from end-to-end for fast training and expanded to 59.9%.

It describes computers with multiple processing elements that perform the same operation on multiple data simultaneously. Thus, such machines exploit data level parallelism. History The first use of SIMD instructions was in vector supercomputers of the early 1970s such as the CDC Star-100 and the Texas Instruments ASC, which could operate on a vector of data with a single instruction. Vector processing was especially popularized by Cray in the 1970s and 1980s. Vector-processing architectures are now considered separate from SIMD machines, based on the fact that vector machines processed the vectors one word at a time through pipelined processors (though still based on a single instruction), whereas modern SIMD machines process all elements of the vector simultaneously.[1] The first era of modern SIMD machines was characterized by massively parallel processing-style supercomputers such as the Thinking Machines CM-1 and CM-2. These machines had many limited-functionality processors that would work in parallel.

  • Recent International Trade Commission Representations
    Recent International Trade Commission Representations Certain Mobile Electronic Devices and Radio Frequency and Processing Components Thereof (II), Inv. No. 337-TA-1093 (ITC 2019). Quinn Emanuel was lead counsel for Qualcomm in a patent infringement action against Apple in the International Trade Commission. Qualcomm alleged that Apple engaged in the unlawful importation and sale of iPhones that infringe one or more claims of five Qualcomm patents covering key technologies that enable important features and function in the iPhones. After a seven day hearing, Administrative Law Judge McNamara issued an Initial Determination finding for Qualcomm on all issues related to claim 1 of U.S. Patent 8,063,674 related to an improved “Power on Control” circuit. ALJ McNamara recommended that the Commission issue a limited exclusion order with respect to the accused iPhone devices. Although the case settled shortly after AJ McNamara recommended the exclusion order, the order would have resulted in the exclusion of all iPhones and iPads without Qualcomm baseband processors from being imported into the United States. Certain Magnetic Tape Cartridges and Components Thereof Inv. No. 337-TA-1058 (ITC 2019): We represented Sony in a multifront battle against Fujifilm arising from Fujifilm’s anticompetitive conduct seeking to exclude Sony from the Linear Tape-Open magnetic tape market. LTO tape products are used to store large quantities of data by companies in a wide range of industries, including health care, education, finance and banking. Sony filed a complaint in the ITC seeking an exclusion order of Fujifilm’s products based on its infringement of three Sony patents covering various aspects of magnetic data storage technology.
