0:14
a combined 500 gigabytes of memory and two pedaflops of compute power the chips
0:20
are all tesla v100s linked using NVIDIA's nv switch interconnects which
0:23
allows them to essentially function as a single enormous graphics card but you

0:31
companies that need to perform ai tasks in the cloud NVIDIA actually debuted the
0:35
first machine to use the hdx2 platform back in march called the dgx2 but

everyone assumed it just ran on pixie dust and some blessed fragments of
0:45
jensen huang's leather jacket it it doesn't run on that but i do apparently

a vehicle to battle royale

traditional rules you'll be able to link your game to pokemon go and even use a
2:03
pokeball shaped controller that doubles as a pokemon go plus the third game
