NVIDIA (NVIDIA Corporation) was founded in 1993. Its three founders, Jen-Hsun Huang, Chris Malachowsky and Curtis Priem, believed that the right direction for the next wave of computing was accelerated or graphics-based computing. because it could solve problems that general purpose computing couldn't.
Today NVIDIA is a software and fabless company that designs graphics processing units (GPU), application programming interface (API) for data science and high-performance computing, as well as system-on-chip (SoC) units for mobile computing and the automotive market.
NVIDIA is a global leader in artificial intelligence hardware and software.
Its professional line of GPUs are used in workstations for applications in fields such as architecture, engineering and construction, media and entertainment, automotive, scientific research and manufacturing design.4
In addition to GPU manufacturing, NVIDIA provides an API called CUDA that allows the creation of massively parallel programs using GPUs. They are deployed at supercomputing sites around the world. Recently, it has moved into the mobile computing market, where it produces Tegra mobile processors for smartphones and tablets, as well as in-vehicle navigation and entertainment systems.
