We target large markets where visual computing is deeply valued. For each, we offer a platform of processors, software, tools, expertise, marketing and, increasingly,

connected services. And we innovate across every major computing platform.

Gaming is a $100 billion industry. eSports tournaments are on par with major sporting events, drawing millions of spectators and offering multi-million dollar purses. On Twitch, the leading video game streaming site, 55 million viewers tune in every month to watch other people game.

There are 200 million GeForce® gamers around the world. GeForce GTX® GPUs are the foundation of the world’s leading gaming platform. We recently launched GTX 980 and 970, our latest flagship GPUs based on our 10th generation architecture, Maxwell™.

Maxwell boasts twice the energy efficiency and performance of Kepler™, our previous generation. It delivers amazing virtual reality experiences with VR Direct. And it represents a giant leap forward in computer graphics — its Voxel Global Illumination technology will enable dynamic photorealistic images in games.

We introduced Maxwell with the world’s first 24–hour livestream celebration of PC gaming: GAME24. Featured on Twitch, more than 1 million people viewed the event.

The most advanced GPUs are the foundation of our platform, but they’re just the start.

GeForce Experience™, an application that configures games to run optimally and tunes a PC’s performance continually, is enjoyed by more than 40 million gamers. Integrated GameStream™ technology lets you stream PC games to TVs or our SHIELD™ devices.

NVIDIA G-SYNC™, a revolutionary monitor technology, eliminates the tearing and stutter that have plagued games for decades.

We’re also advancing games themselves. Our GameWorks program — driven by some of the world’s most talented visual effects engineers — delivers expertise, algorithms and tools to developers big and small.

Android is set to be the next major gaming platform. Game revenue is expected to reach $12 billion in 2016. And games are consistently the most popular apps sold across mobile devices.

Our NVIDIA SHIELD family of devices is catalyzing this exciting new market. And they offer the best way to play great Android games.

SHIELD portable provides incredible graphics performance and precision control for serious gamers on the go. SHIELD tablet is the ultimate tablet for gamers. It features the most advanced processor, unbeatable graphics and audio, and it can be easily paired with the optional SHIELD controller.

Cloud computing has revolutionized applications from music and videos to storage and compute.

Graphics is the last frontier. And because it requires seamless, real-time interactivity, gaming is perhaps the most challenging graphics app to move to the cloud.

NVIDIA GRID™ promises to make game streaming as convenient and common as renting a movie online. By solving the “lag” issue that has hindered cloud gaming to date, GRID gives gamers the freedom to play the most graphics-intensive games from the cloud on any display.

NVIDIA is one of the few companies in the world that can build a “Netflix for gaming.”

From delivering the industry’s best GPUs to rendering algorithms for advanced special effects, our strategy is to build the preeminent platform for creative designers and artists. And with the burgeoning 3D printing revolution, we can help turn every hobbyist into a 3D designer.

We are the gold standard for design and visualization.

NVIDIA Quadro® GPUs power 80% of the world’s workstations and nearly every major design tool uses its suite of tools.

Since 2009, every film nominated for the Academy Award for Best Visual Effects was made using NVIDIA technology — including 2014’s winner, Gravity.

At SIGGRAPH 2014 — the annual gathering of the best minds in professional graphics — we launched two major products that reconfirmed our leadership in visual computing.

First, our latest Quadro GPU lineup for the professional market. It offers a big boost in performance. More importantly, it enables graphics pros to interact with their designs locally on a workstation, remotely on a mobile device, or in tandem with cloud-based services — putting Quadro at the heart of today’s workflows.

Second, NVIDIA VCA. This scalable, network-attached rendering appliance provides designers and artists with the fastest and easiest way to create photorealistic images of their creations. It’s so fast that they can interact with their models or scenes in real time, rather than waiting minutes or hours.

For visual effects artists, physically based tools are helping make the world of make- believe more believable.

NVIDIA OptiX™ ray-tracing technology was a game changer for the artists at Pixar who developed Monsters University.

Scenes that once required hundreds of manually placed light sources can now be lit with just a few that accurately bounce rays onto every pixel.

Since 2001, all of Pixar’s films have been created on NVIDIA GPUs.

Enterprises are in the midst of a seismic shift. Employees bring their own devices to work, multiple operating systems tap into distinct services, and mobile access is essential.

By moving the GPU to the data center and enabling it to be shared, NVIDIA GRID™ lets companies deliver graphics-rich applications — like design tools from Adobe and Autodesk — to mobile employees using almost any connected device.

Today, Cisco, Dell, Fujitsu, Hitachi, HP and IBM offer GRID-based servers while Citrix, Microsoft and VMware offer GRID-enabled software.

At VMworld 2014, NVIDIA and VMware announced an early customer access program for NVIDIA GRID vGPU on the vSphere hypervisor, which holds ~80% market share. GRID vGPU won a Best of VMworld 2014 Gold award.

We also unveiled work with VMware and Google to deliver a great user experience with virtual desktops running the most demanding applications on Chromebooks.

Our invention of CUDA® opened up the parallel processing capabilities of the GPU to numerous fields and industries.

Today, NVIDIA GPUs drive 85% of accelerated HPC systems, including the Titan supercomputer at Oak Ridge National Labs, where 18,000 GPUs do parallel computation to model climates and simulate new materials at unprecedented scale.

Looking ahead, our Pascal™ GPU architecture will put a supercomputer in the space of two credit cards. It incorporates two new technologies — NVLINK™ and 3D Memory — that will ease the communications bottlenecks that have constrained system performance advances to date.

Energy efficiency is paramount to the advancement of supercomputing and the life-changing scientific research that now depends on massive-scale computation.

On the latest list of the most energy-efficient supercomputers, NVIDIA Tesla® GPUs swept the top 15 spots.

Tesla users are solving the world’s great scientific and technical challenges. We serve them with a robust platform of data center infrastructure, developer tools, and deep expertise.

Using a supercomputer powered by 3,000 Tesla processors, University of Illinois scientists achieved a breakthrough in HIV research.

Performing the first all-atom simulation of the virus, they discovered the chemical structure of its capsid — “the perfect target for fighting the infection.”

IMAGENET CHALLENGE Entries using GPUs

Tesla GPUs are also revolutionizing enterprise data centers.

Using the flood of images and videos that are uploaded daily, computers can learn to recognize language, speech and objects.

Relying on “deep neural networks,” a field of artificial intelligence, GPU-powered machines can self-learn so quickly that it’s now possible to deploy this breakthrough to improve fundamental internet services, like search and product recommendations.

Some of the world’s largest internet companies, as well as the foremost research institutions, are using GPUs for machine learning.

At this year’s ImageNet, the World Cup for computer vision and machine learning, the number of entries using GPUs continued to soar. And we announced cuDNN, a programming library that helps developers easily harness the power of GPU acceleration.

The mobile computing revolution is about low-power devices connected to the cloud, with services running in massive data centers. It started with phones. But now, everything with a computer is being reimagined — from TVs to game consoles to cars — and new categories of devices are being born.

As part of this shift, Computer Vision technologies are breaking out of the lab and into futuristic, mobile applications — from robots that can see to cars that can drive themselves.

NVIDIA creates the world’s best GPUs to address these opportunities, either through processors or IP licensing.

Our latest processor, Tegra® K1, brings the heart of GeForce and the soul of Tesla to mobile. By unifying our GPU and mobile architectures, we’re turbocharging the mobile revolution.

NVIDIA processors drive the digital cockpits, infotainment systems and advanced driver assistance systems of some of the world’s most innovative cars.

There are over 6 million cars with NVIDIA processors on the road today, including models from Audi, BMW, Tesla, VW, and Lamborghini. Another 25 million NVIDIA processors are expected to be integrated into vehicles over the next 5 years.

At the Paris Auto Show, we announced that our Tegra mobile processor will power the new Honda Connect in-car audio and information system in the 2015 Honda Civic, Civic Tourer and CR-V, which will be launched in Europe next year.

This was a major milestone for our automotive business on two fronts — our first win with a Japanese automaker and another push into the mainstream segment.

The Tegra K1 super chip is also paving the way toward autonomous cars by enabling features for automated driving in cities and on highways.

Tegra K1 is the computing brain of the Audi zFAS, a centralized computer (below) that will power Audi’s Piloted Driving features, including traffic jam assistance and autonomous parking. It enables the innovative car company to replace what was recently a trunk full of computers and wires with a small, elegant system.

Jetson TK1 is the 1st mobile supercomputer for embedded systems.

The development platform boasts 192 CUDA cores based on the same architecture that powers the most energy-efficient supercomputers in the world today.

With Jetson TK1, developers can create compute-intensive applications in the fields of computer vision, robotics, medicine, and reshape the future of embedded computing.

Our 32-bit Tegra K1 mobile processor has been racking up praise for bringing amazing performance and true console-quality graphics to mobile.

At HOT CHIPS, a technical conference on high-performance chips, we provided further detail on Tegra K1’s 64-bit version. It pairs our 192-core Kepler architecture-based GPU with our own custom-designed, 64-bit, dual-core “Project Denver” CPU.

The ARM v8-based custom CPU design brings class-leading efficiency and power to mobile devices due to its unique seven-way superscalar micro-architecture and support for Dynamic Code Optimization.

The 64-bit Tegra K1 was selected by Google to power the first 64-bit Android tablet, Nexus 9. The device is also the first tablet to feature the latest version of the Android operating system, Lollipop.

To keep our innovation engine firing on all cylinders, we strive to create an environment where new ideas are shared across disciplines, across ages, across geographies.

Our annual, internal NTECH conference is one way we do just that. This year, hundreds of NVIDIANs participated, taking in nearly 40 presentations that were selected from over 170 submissions worldwide.

One highlight: Nobel Laureate Michael Levitt spoke to our engineers about how he’s spent a career using computers to model the way proteins, DNA and RNA interact inside the human body.

Levitt calls GPUs “time machines.” Their parallel processing capabilities help him speed through the once onerous task of building models.

NVIDIA is far more than just a GPU designer.

It is actually at the leading edge of computing

technology, inventing new ways to solve all

sorts of human problems. The company

participates in almost every realm of the

human experience.
