Machine Learning algorithms are beginning to revolutionize modern agriculture. Enabling farmers to combat pests and diseases in real time, the technology is improving crop production and profits, while reducing waste, greenhouse gas emissions, and pesticide use. Around 6% of the world’s CO2 emissions come from farming. And every year, up to 40% of crops are lost due to pests and disease.

CUDA Graphs are a way to define and batch GPU operations as a graph rather than a sequence of stream launches. A CUDA Graph groups a set of CUDA kernels and other CUDA operations together and executes them with a specified dependency tree. It speeds up the workflow by combining the driver activities associated with CUDA kernel launches and CUDA API calls. It also enforces the dependencies with…

Launched this week in limited availability, NVIDIA Holoscan for Media is a software-defined, AI-enabled platform that helps developers easily integrate AI into their live media applications and allows media companies to run live media pipelines on the same infrastructure as AI.

To accelerate autonomous vehicle development and deployment timelines, Nuro announced today it will license its Nuro Driver autonomous driving system directly to automakers and mobility providers. The Nuro Driver is built on NVIDIA’s end-to-end safety architecture, which includes NVIDIA GPUs for AI training in the cloud and an automotive-grade NVIDIA DRIVE Thor computer running the

Enterprises are looking for increasingly powerful compute to support their AI workloads and accelerate data processing. The efficiency gained can translate to better returns for their investments in AI training and fine-tuning, and improved user experiences for AI inference. At the Oracle CloudWorld conference today, Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) announced the first zettascale OCI Supercluster,

Domain-adaptive pretraining (DAPT) of large language models (LLMs) is an important step towards building domain-specific models. These models demonstrate greater capabilities in domain-specific tasks compared to their off-the-shelf open or commercial counterparts. Recently, NVIDIA published a paper about ChipNeMo, a family of foundation models that are geared toward industrial chip design…

As large language models (LLMs) are becoming even bigger, it is increasingly important to provide easy-to-use and efficient deployment paths because the cost of serving such LLMs is becoming higher. One way to reduce this cost is to apply post-training quantization (PTQ), which consists of techniques to reduce computational and memory requirements for serving trained models. In this post…
