On November 21st, NVIDIA GPU Technology Conference (GTC China 2018) kicked off in Suzhou. NVIDIA CEO and Founder Huang Renxun introduced the latest developments in NVIDIA's major GPU products and services.
At present, several technology giants are launching new products and services based on the new NVIDIA(R) T4 GPU. The first companies in China to start using T4 expansion and increase the workload's horizontal expansion include Baidu, Tencent, Jingdong and HKUST. China's leading computer manufacturers will also launch a series of T4-based servers, including Inspur, Lenovo, Huawei, Dawning, Inspur Business Machines and Xinhua III. In addition, Google Cloud announced that Google Cloud Platform customers can use T4.
Ian Buck, NVIDIA's vice president and general manager of accelerated computing, said: "T4 provides the combined performance and energy efficiency needed for public and private clouds to run compute-intensive workloads on a large scale and more economically."
In addition, the NVIDIA HGX-2TM server platform has been widely adopted. The HGX-2 delivers 2 petaflops of computing performance in a single node, and its diverse functionality meets today's increasingly demanding HPC and AI applications.
The conference introduced the main partners of the current HGX-2 cloud server platform: Baidu and Tencent will use HGX-2 to provide a series of more powerful AI services for internal applications and cloud customers. Inspur is the first Chinese manufacturer to build HGX-2 servers. Inspur AI Super Server AGX-5 is designed to solve the performance expansion problems of current AI deep learning and high performance computing. In addition, Lenovo, Huawei, and Shuguang are among them.
Ian Buck, NVIDIA's vice president and general manager of accelerated computing, said: "Companies in China and around the world are now able to build new and scalable products and services to solve the huge computing challenges and some of today's most pressing issues."
