NVIDIA

NVIDIA is a semiconductor and computing company founded in 1993 by three computer scientists: Jensen Huang, Chris Malachowsky and Curtis Priem. It describes itself as the world leader in accelerated computing. In 1999 the company invented the Graphics Processing Unit (GPU), a specialised processor that performs complex mathematical calculations in parallel. The invention helped drive the growth of PC gaming and later became a foundation for modern artificial intelligence.

The company's technical work spans GPU and graphics processing, parallel and accelerated computing, artificial intelligence, 3D graphics, high-performance computing, autonomous vehicles and robotics. Its hardware and software are applied across gaming and multimedia, high-performance computing, scientific research, healthcare, autonomous vehicles and robotics.

NVIDIA states that its culture is mission-driven and oriented towards problems not addressed elsewhere, with an emphasis on turning large volumes of data into insights and real-time experiences. Further information is available at https://nvidia.com/.
