    NVIDIA’s CTO Jensen Huang has never been known to be quiet and has always been at the center of the GPU Technology Conference (GTC). This year’s online incarnation, open to all, is no different—the one-hour, 48-minute keynote video was chock full of new announcements. Here are most of them in no particular order:

    • Omniverse – collaboration and simulation cloud platform
    • RTX GPUs – latest desktop and embedded GPUs
    • A10 and A16 GPU – latest data-center GPUs
    • DGX SuperPod – multi-tenant supercomputer
    • Grace CPU – future Arm-based enterprise compute platform
    • BlueField-3 DPU – data-center processing unit
    • DOCA 1.0 SDK – software support for BlueField
    • EGX updates – AI platform for the enterprise
    • Aerial 5G – 5G base-station platform
    • NVIDIA DRIVE Orin – latest auto platform
    • NVIDIA DRIVE Atlan – auto platform built around BlueField
    • Morpheus – AI-driven security-management platform
    • Jarvis – conversational AI framework for real-time speech recognition and translation
    • Maxine – virtual collaboration and content
    • Triton – cloud-based inference
    • CuQuantum SDK – quantum-computing simulation

    Hopefully I didn’t miss much in this list. We will be delving into these in more detail in other articles and videos. I was going to add more details here, but it's easier to check out our GTC 2021 digital issue for the latest news and announcements, in addition to some of the links above.

    I earned a Bachelor of Electrical Engineering at the Georgia Institute of Technology and a Masters in Computer Science from Rutgers University. I still do a bit of programming using everything from C and C++ to Rust and Ada/SPARK. I do a bit of PHP programming for Drupal websites. I have posted a few Drupal modules.  

    I still get a hand on software and electronic hardware. Some of this can be found on our Kit Close-Up video series. You can also see me on many of our TechXchange Talk videos. I am interested in a range of projects from robotics to artificial intelligence.
