Abstract
Modern Graphics Processing Units (GPUs) have evolved into massively parallel processors,
playing a pivotal role in accelerating high-performance computing, artificial intelligence,
and graphics rendering. This talk describes the foundational architecture of NVIDIAs
GPUs. It will also cover NVIDIA’s NVLink communication fabric features – one that
enables efficient scaling of multi-GPU systems for large-scale computing and is a
foundational technology in DGX systems.
