Nvidia Pitching AI to ODMs in Taiwan
Junko Yoshida, EETimes China, May. 30, 2017 –
MADISON, Wis. - In the not-so-distant past, Computex Taipei, an international computer expo, was all about PCs. Taiwan's original design manufacturers (ODMs) grew up with Computex and put Taiwan on the map as a global PC hub. Companies that profited from the Taiwan ODMs' success were Intel and Microsoft, who played key roles in defining PC technology.
This week, Nvidia is coming to Computex, in hopes of replicating what Intel and Microsoft achieved a few decades ago with the PC market. Nvidia's sole focus is domination in the new era of "accelerated computing."
Nvidia defines accelerated computing as the increased use of a graphics processing unit together with a CPU to accelerate deep learning, analytics and engineering applications.
