The Technology channel tracks the latest global tech trends, covering consumer electronics, software development, artificial intelligence, internet technology, cybersecurity and automotive intelligence. We go beyond specs to examine how technology reshapes life, industry and society.
In August 2016, Jensen Huang personally delivered the first production NVIDIA DGX-1 to OpenAI in San Francisco, providing the foundational compute that sparked the ChatGPT era.
In May 2016, NVIDIA launched the 16nm FinFET Pascal architecture and GeForce GTX 1080, delivering unprecedented generational leaps and etching an enduring legend in hardware history.
At Computex 2015, NVIDIA unveiled the enthusiast-favorite GeForce GTX 980 Ti alongside the SHIELD Android TV, anchoring both high-end 4K gaming and cloud streaming.
At CES 2015, NVIDIA launched DRIVE PX, an automotive supercomputing platform powered by dual Tegra X1 processors, launching the modern AI autonomous vehicle revolution.
In September 2014, NVIDIA launched the second-generation Maxwell architecture and GeForce GTX 980, achieving an architectural miracle by doubling efficiency on the same 28nm node.
Entrepreneurship—a term that stirs the heart, from centenarians to elementary school children. Humanity's inner nature must stem from this impulsive creativity for the current prosperous scene to be possible. But ever since we decided to start our own business, both my team partners and I have run into one problem: "There's never enough time." We occasionally miss the good old days of student life, when time seemed endless—we would leisurely ride our bikes around, or on a moonlit beach light a campfire, drink, and talk about our respective future dreams—then return to the lab to continue developing hardware and software.
At CES 2014, NVIDIA announced the Tegra K1 featuring 192 Kepler CUDA cores, bridging the architectural divide between desktop graphics, mobile devices, and autonomous vehicles.
In October 2013, NVIDIA revealed G-Sync in Montreal, coupling GPU render times directly to display refresh rates and solving a decades-old visual artifact dilemma.
In February 2013, NVIDIA introduced the legendary GeForce GTX TITAN, bringing the GK110 silicon from Oak Ridge's Titan supercomputer straight to consumer workstations.
In Autumn 2012, Alex Krizhevsky and Geoffrey Hinton leveraged two consumer NVIDIA GTX 580 GPUs to train AlexNet, decisively shattering ImageNet and launching modern AI.
In March 2012, NVIDIA launched the Kepler architecture and GeForce GTX 680 on TSMC 28nm, executing an architectural masterstroke that doubled performance-per-watt.
In November 2011, NVIDIA debuted Tegra 3 (codenamed Kal-El), the world's first mobile quad-core processor featuring patent-pending 4-PLUS-1 companion core technology.
In March 2011, NVIDIA introduced the dual-GPU monster GeForce GTX 590 packing 1024 CUDA cores, alongside CUDA 4.0 with Unified Virtual Addressing to supercharge scientific parallel computing.
I took an old RCA digital camera that had been sitting at home for about a decade to perform a complete teardown for practice. The goal was to understand its internal structure before attempting infrared modifications on more advanced cameras.
Originally used internally by NASA and the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, the 'Impact: Earth!' planetary impact simulator has been developed into a public version by British and American researchers, allowing interested users to 'direct' asteroid impacts on Earth as they please.
While writing 'Software Recommendation: Playing Games with Google Picasa', an intriguing idea popped into my mind: Which single word occupies the largest volume in Google's database? I spent some time investigating Google's search index just for the fun of it.
Most people are undoubtedly familiar with Google, but perhaps less than one-tenth know about the software Picasa (Note 1). Simply put, Picasa is a web album service provided by Google (with 1 GB of free storage) and a versatile image software suite featuring powerful photo management, fast image viewing, adequate editing capabilities, and diverse special applications (such as photo collage design).
VimWiki brings personal Wiki-like functionality directly into Vi/Vim. While Wiki is familiar to most people through Wikipedia, bringing a personal Wiki environment to your local computer opens up diverse possibilities, from journaling to personal finance tracking.
When discussing legends among text editing software, one cannot omit Vim. Speaking of Vim, one must mention Vi—Vim is an enhanced edition of Vi. While Vi and Vim are remarkably powerful, their core purpose can be summarized in two words: text editing. They represent some of the oldest document editors in computing, tracing back to 1976 when Bill Joy, later co-founder of Sun Microsystems, originally created Vi.
Foldit is a software application—or perhaps game—centered around protein folding. Its official slogan succinctly captures its intent: turning scientific research into playable discovery.
