Nvidia Corporation, founded in 1993 by Jensen Huang, Chris Malachowsky, and Curtis Priem, specializes in graphics processing units (GPUs) and has a significant impact on the gaming, professional visualization, and data centers sectors. Headquartered in Santa Clara, California, Nvidia initially made waves in the tech world with the release of the GeForce graphics cards which brought high-quality visuals to consumer computers, significantly enhancing the gaming experience.
Over the years, Nvidia has not only dominated the gaming industry but also ventured into artificial intelligence and deep learning. With the launch of its CUDA platform in 2007, Nvidia provided developers the tools to use GPUs for general computing purposes. This innovation led to substantial advances in AI by accelerating deep learning algorithms and has been integral to developments in fields ranging from medicine to autonomous driving.
