Nvidia Corporation Annual Review 2020 NVIDIA CORPORATION ANNUAL REVIEW NOTICE OF ANNUAL MEETING PROXY STATEMENT FORM 10-K “INNOVATIVE COMPANIES LIKE NVIDIA ARE AN AMERICAN TREASURE” THE STREET NVIDIA specializes in accelerated computing, solving important challenges beyond the reach of normal computers. We innovate at the intersection of computer graphics, high performance computing, and AI. At our core we are a real-time simulation company—simulating worlds, physics, and intelligence. JENSEN HUANG CEO and Founder, NVIDIA “KICKING DOWN BARRIERS, NVIDIA HAS AWOKEN THE INDUSTRY TO RAY TRACING” JOHN PEDDIE RESEARCH GeForce RTX has redefined what’s possible in gaming. Real-time ray tracing and neural graphics processing come together to create eye-popping images and deliver a level of photorealism never before seen in PC gaming. RTX is bringing a new visual dimension to AAA games like Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, Control, and Watch Dogs: Legion. RTX Studio laptops and workstations deliver this performance to digital creators, speeding applications for video editing, 3D animation, and graphic design. More than 60 models are available today from PC makers like Dell, HP, and Lenovo. For professionals, Turing-based Quadro RTX delivers photoreal graphics that the industry didn’t expect for another 5–10 years. Quadro RTX GPUs can now accelerate photoreal rendering for large industries that previously only used CPU server farms: film, animation, architecture, product design, and others. NVIDIA has reinvented computer graphics, again. “THE NEXT FRONTIER FOR REAL TIME COLLABORATION FOR 3D CONTENT CREATION” TWITTER TECHNEWS Large-scale 3D design in industries—from media and entertainment to architecture, engineering, and construction—is a giant collaboration and data sharing challenge. Experts from many companies work together across different design tools and file formats. NVIDIA Omniverse is a new collaboration platform to unite these project pipelines and let designers share assets seamlessly across creative applications. Now the work of many can be seen by all, in real time, in the splendor of NVIDIA RTX. “NVIDIA IS INVENTING THE FUTURE OF MACHINE LEARNING RIGHT IN FRONT OF OUR EYES” FORBES NVIDIA is the leading platform to accelerate AI and the world’s most demanding supercomputing applications. NVIDIA DGX systems are the world’s most powerful tools for AI training, uniting up to 16 GPUs to deliver petaflops of training performance. With the extreme I/O performance of Mellanox InfiniBand networking, DGX systems can quickly scale to supercomputer-class NVIDIA SuperPODs. In 2019, DGX-2 set world records on MLPerf, a new set of industry benchmarks designed to test deep learning performance. NVIDIA GPUs accelerate the U.S.-based Summit supercomputer, the world’s fastest, as well as the fastest systems in Europe and Japan. More than 130 supercomputers on the TOP500 list are powered by NVIDIA, including five of the top 10. “what about that one...” AI INFERENCE FOR HYPERSCALE Trained AI applications are deployed in large-scale, highly complex cloud data centers that serve voice, video, image, and recommendation services to billions of users. To be useful to our daily lives, they must work incredibly fast—a demand that is increasing exponentially with the rise of conversational AI. NVIDIA TensorRT software and NVIDIA GPUs converge to optimize, validate, and accelerate the world’s most demanding neural networks. “THE SMART EVERYTHING REVOLUTION IS NVIDIA AT ITS BEST” THE STREET AI is spilling out of the cloud and onto the edge, where oceans of raw data are generated by the world’s largest industries. On factory floors. In stores. On city streets. In urgent care facilities. These edge locations are equipped with billions of IoT sensors that stream terabytes of data. That information contains valuable insights that can drive decisions in real time. NVIDIA EGX is a state-of-the-art cloud-native platform that enables AI production to move beyond the data center and out to the edge. EGX delivers next-generation AI, IoT, and 5G-based services at large scale with low latency. Early adopters of EGX include Walmart, BMW, Procter & Gamble, Samsung Electronics, and the cities of Los Angeles and San Francisco.

Adaptive bitrate streaming estimates the bottleneck capacity of a network and sets appropriate encoding parameters to avoid exceeding the bandwidth of the connection. BBR is a congestion control algorithm as an alternative to current loss-based congestion control. We designed and implemented a bitrate adaptation heuristic based on BBR into GamingAnywhere, an open source cloud gaming platform.

  • Geforce Now: Nvidia Implements Aggressive Pricing to Consolidate Cloud Gaming Position
    Publication date: 04 Feb 2020 Author: Omdia Analyst GeForce Now: Nvidia implements aggressive pricing to consolidate cloud gaming position Brought to you by Informa Tech GeForce Now: Nvidia implements aggressive 1 pricing to consolidate cloud gaming position GeForce Now: Nvidia implements aggressive pricing to consolidate position Nvidia has announced that its ‘bring your own games’ cloud gaming service GeForce Now is to come out of limited beta today and that all 300,000 existing beta users will transition across to a free membership tier. The company will also introduce a premium membership with the first 3 months for free and a comparatively low $4.99 a month, a special introductory price guaranteed for the remainder of 2020. The free membership product strategy solves the hurdle of maintaining the active userbase of GeForce Now as the service transitions across from beta to a full commercial offering, although there are limitations to the free tier which won’t please everyone who have been using the beta service. ‘Founders’ premium subscribers will get priority access to servers, will be allowed to stream for up to 6 hours per uninterrupted session (versus 1 hour for free members) and get access to the latest RTX ray tracing GPU-based servers in the cloud as they become available. I expect the premium subscription pricing to increase, potentially to something like $9.99 a month, at the beginning of 2021, but at the current price point and 3 months free, conversion rate from free to paid is predicted to be high. GeForce Now effectively straddles the use cases of existing gaming PC users that want access to their games on screens away from their PCs and also those gamers that don’t have access to a gaming PC.
