This quarter will begin delivery of GPUs GP100 Pascal generation, which will be used in computing accelerators, and supercomputer systems, the first customers are registered in Switzerland - a local supercomputer should double their productivity by Pascal. Expansion of graphics processors in the data center segment for NVIDIA is an important source of increasing the profit rate . It should be noted that the company's net profit in the first quarter rose nice - almost half. Revenue in the data center direction also increased by 47%.
By the growing popularity of its computing accelerators NVIDIA head was very happy, in the reporting quarterly conference he made some loud statements on the matter. . Secondly, the CEO has once again stated that the use of the GPU to accelerate computation - is one of the best ways to support the progress in the era after the completion of the so-called "Moore's Law".
The latter formulation sounds somewhat detached, but we should not forget that if the "Moore's Law" will cease to work, NVIDIA will face difficulties in increasing the performance of graphics processors. Meanwhile, the head of the company prefers to say that the interest in the topic of "artificial intelligence" and learning systems is very high, if we talk about the company's clients.
