Nvidia
Fueled by the massive growth of the gaming market and its insatiable demand for better 3D graphics, we've evolved the GPU into a computer brain at the intersection of virtual reality, high performance computing, and artificial intelligence.
NVIDIA GPU computing has become the essential tool of the da Vincis and Einsteins of our time. For them, we've built the equivalent of a time machine.
For 30 years, the dynamics of Moore's law held true. But now CPU scaling is slowing while the demand for computing power surges ahead.
With AI, now machines can learn. AI can solve grand challenges that have been beyond human reach, but it must be fueled by massive compute power.
Accelerated computing is the path forward beyond Moore's law, delivering 1000x computing performance every 10 years.
Our invention of the GPU in 1999 made real-time programmable shading possible, giving artists an infinite palette for expression.
In 2018, the introduction of the Turing architecture and NVIDIA RTX ray-tracing technology fulfilled another vision of computer scientists, paving the way to new levels of art and realism in real-time graphics.
We've led the field of visual computing for decades.
Turing-based Quadro RTX delivers photoreal graphics that creators didn't expect for another 5-10 years.
Quadro RTX GPUs can now accelerate photoreal rendering for large industries that previously only used CPU server farms: film, animation, architecture, product design, and others.
NVIDIA has reinvented computer graphics, again.
GeForce RTX has redefined what's possible in gaming. Real-time ray tracing and neural graphics processing come together to create eye-popping images and deliver a level of photo realism never before seen in PC gaming.
AAA games like Battlefield V, Shadow of the Tomb Raider, and Metro Exodus support RTX today. And with support in Microsoft DXR, Unreal Engine, and Unity, next-generation games can easily bring ray tracing to millions of gamers.
In 2006, the creation of our CUDA programming model and Tesla GPU platform brought parallel processing to general-purpose computing. A powerful new approach to computing was born.
Now, the paths of high performance computing and AI innovation are converging.
From the world's largest supercomputers to the vast datacenters that power the cloud, this new computing model is helping to answer complex questions, discover new science, and bring amazing capabilities to our mobile devices.
Now, the world's largest industries - transportation, healthcare, logistics, manufacturing, robotics, smart cities, retail - are tapping into accelerated computing to bring AI to the edge.
GPU acceleration is the most accessible and energy-efficient path forward for the world's most powerful computers. More than 600 applications support CUDA today, including the top 15 in HPC.
NVIDIA powers U.S.-based Summit, the world's fastest supercomputer, as well as the fastest systems in Europe and Japan. 27,000 NVIDIA Volta Tensor Core GPUs accelerate Summit's performance to more than 200 petaflops for HPC and 3 exaflops for AI.
Building amazing AI applications begins with training neural networks. NVIDIA DGX 2 is the world's most powerful tool for AI training, uniting 16 GPUs to deliver 2 petaflops of training performance.
In July 2019, DGX-2 set new world records in the debut of MLPerf, a new set of industry benchmarks designed to test deep learning performance.
Trained AI applications are deployed in large-scale, highly complex cloud data centers that serve voice, video, image, and recommendation services to billions of users. Hundreds of AI algorithms are in use today, making inference a big and costly challenge.
NVIDIA TensorRT software and the new T4 GPU converge to optimize, validate, and accelerate trained neural networks.
AI breakthroughs no longer come from scientific labs and hyperscale cloud providers alone.
Self-driving cars, automated farm equipment, and autonomous factory robots have moved quickly from ideas to reality. And it's only the beginning.
The fourth industrial revolution has begun.
Autonomous vehicles will revolutionize the $10 trillion transportation industry.
NVIDIA DRIVE is an open platform and enables researchers and programmers to develop new algorithms or adapt them for specific vehicles.
To train the network, data from all over the world needs to be collected and fed into an NVIDIA DGX supercomputer.
Simulation expands the training set and covers dangerous scenarios that can't be captured on the road. The trained model is deployed on an in-car supercomputer, for capabilities like pedestrian detection and driver monitoring.
NVIDIA is united by a unique culture - the operating system of our company. We dream big, take risks, and learn from our mistakes together. Speed is the key to our success. Craftsmanship is a passion. There are no org charts - the project is the boss.
These beliefs inform everything we do, from designing amazing products to building one of the world's great companies - a place where people can do their life's work.

Network Switch Buying Guide
Connect Multiple Devices to a Network and Route Data to Designated Devices
What is a network switch and what does it do?
A network switch connects devices to a local area network (LAN) and allows the devices to communicate over the network. For example, you can connect computers, printers and servers to the same network switch and route data between them. Unlike an Ethernet hub, which transmits the same data through every output, a network switch sends data only to the devices designated to receive it. This improves the efficiency and potential throughput of the network.
Are there different types of network switches?
There are two main types of network switches, unmanaged and managed. The essential difference is the capability to configure the operation of a managed switch to customize and optimize network traffic for specific applications.
Unmanaged Switches
- Offer plug-and-play functionality
- Switch operation cannot be modified
- CompSource offers desktop and rack-mount unmanaged switches
Managed Switches
- Provide the ability to manage, prioritize and monitor LAN traffic
- Offer one or more ways to modify switch operation
- CompSource offers smart managed switches that feature an RJ45 console port and command line interface (CLI)
Where do you place network switches?
Network switches are usually placed on a desk or table, mounted on a wall, or mounted in a rack. CompSource offers unmanaged desktop switches (with metal or plastic housing) and both unmanaged and managed rack-mount switches with metal housing and a built-in PDU (Gigabit Ethernet Switch PDU Combos).
What is a Gigabit Ethernet Switch PDU Combo?
CompSource offers an exclusive line of unmanaged and managed Gigabit Ethernet switches that have Power over Ethernet (PoE).
Factors to Consider
Does your application require a managed switch?
If your application involves controlling network traffic, you will need the features of a managed switch. The following are some examples of tasks that require a managed switch:
- Controlling access between departments within your LAN
- Running many bandwidth-intensive applications simultaneously
- Giving important data greater priority in your LAN
- Improving the performance of a busy network
- Implementing VoIP, wireless LANs or other advanced services
How many devices do you need to connect to your network?
Make sure you select a switch with enough Gigabit (10/100/1000 Mbps) Ethernet ports for the devices you want to connect to your network. If you think you'll add more devices in the future, choose a switch that will give your network room to grow.
Do you need to connect multiple network switches?
If you plan to connect multiple network switches, look for models with SFP uplink ports (also known as Mini-GBIC ports). SFP uplink ports are connection points for SFP (small form-factor pluggable) modules that allow the switch to uplink to other switches using optical fiber cabling.
Power over Ethernet (PoE) uses existing network cables to power connected devices, such as VoIP phones, wireless access points and surveillance cameras. If you need this functionality, look for a switch with Gigabit Ethernet ports that support PoE. Make sure the power per port (in watts) and the total power budget of the PoE ports meet the needs of your electronic devices.
