Less than 24 hours until NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang delivers the keynote at our ninth annual GPU Technology Conference in Silicon Valley, and the action’s already begun.
The crowd more more than 8,000 surging into the McEnery Convention Center — which includes researchers, press, technologists, analysts and partners from all over the globe — is our largest yet.
The 600+ talks on the docket may be the best testament to the spread of GPUs into every aspect of human endeavor.
Attendees are already crowding into conference rooms to hear about how GPUs can be used to model the formation of galaxies, generate dazzling special effects for blockbuster movies, and even analyze scans of the human heart.
Their mood: happy. At least, that’s what the Emotions Demo, set up on the convention’s main concourse, tells us. The demo uses deep learning to instantly read the facial expressions of people nearby in real time – whether they’re happy, neutral, afraid, or disgusted.
Also on the show floor: a pop up store selling NVIDIA Gear. The best sellers? The NVIDIA “I Am AI” t-shirt, and our much sought after NVIDIA Ruler, according the store’s staff.
We’ll be buttonholing speakers from a broad cross-section of these talks and interviewing them for AI Podcast, where we’re recording in a sleek glass booth positioned on the show floor.
If all this makes your heartbeat a little faster, check back for live updates from our keynote Tuesday. And keep an eye on our blog throughout the week for the latest news from the show.
