A tiny London startup built a CUDA compiler that reportedly beats AMD's own tools on AMD hardware
The bet is that CUDA, not Nvidia's hardware, is the real key to AI computing dominance
Nvidia unlocks CUDA for RISC-V processors, opening up its AI ecosystem
Nvidia's latest step in expanding its AI empire
Open source project is making strides in bringing CUDA to non-Nvidia GPUs
CUDA compatibility with AMD and Intel GPUs isn't a pipe dream anymore
Why it matters: Nvidia introduced CUDA in 2006 as a proprietary API and software layer that eventually became the key to unlocking the immense parallel computing power of GPUs. CUDA plays a major role in fields such as artificial intelligence, scientific computing, and high-performance simulations. But running CUDA code has remained largely locked to Nvidia hardware. Now, an open-source project is working to break that barrier.
10 Things We Hate About Nvidia
Nvidia has immense momentum, but its position can still be challenged
Not just the hardware: How deep is Nvidia's software moat?
The inherent inertia of software ecosystems
The big picture: Starting tomorrow, Nvidia is hosting its GTC developer conference. Once a sideshow for semis, the event has transformed into the center of attention for much of the industry. With Nvidia's rise, many have been asking the extent to which Nvidia's software provides a durable competitive moat for its hardware. As we have been getting a lot of questions about that, we want to lay out our thoughts here.
Goodbye to Graphics: How GPUs Came to Dominate Compute and AI
Gone are the days when the sole function for a graphics chip were, graphics. Let's explore how the GPU evolved from a modest pixel pusher into a blazing powerhouse of floating-point computation.
Opinion: Is anyone going to make money in AI inference?
The market for AI edge inference may not monetize well for the semiconductor vendors
Intel CEO argues inference is better for the industry, Nvidia CUDA days are numbered
Not to be undone by competitors, Intel has debuted a new portfolio of AI products
Is Nvidia now a software stock? The competitive advantage of CUDA
The big picture: The world has gone mad for AI. Setting aside what the latest AI models are actually good for, it is not surprising that investors are looking for stocks with "AI exposure." Unfortunately, this turns out to be a fairly short list at the moment, and at the top of that list is Nvidia.
Going From 20 to 40: A Graphics Card Upgrade Tale
A lot can happen in four years, especially in the world of PCs. But how much better is one of the latest GPUs compared to an architecture from a few years back? Well, read on to find out how one person's upgrade choice all panned out.
Has Nvidia won the AI training market?
We don't know the answer to this question. But we suspect it is true.
