(Operator Instructions) For our first question, we have Aaron Rakers from Wells Fargo.
(操作員說明)對於我們的第一個問題,我們請來富國銀行的 Aaron Rakers。
Aaron Christopher Rakers - MD of IT Hardware & Networking Equipment and Senior Equity Analyst
Aaron Christopher Rakers - MD of IT Hardware & Networking Equipment and Senior Equity Analyst
Yes.
是的。
Congratulations on the results.
祝賀結果。
I guess I wanted to ask about Omniverse.
我想我想問一下關於 Omniverse 的問題。
Obviously, a lot of excitement around that.
顯然,這引起了很多興奮。
I guess the simple question is, Jensen, how do you define success in Omniverse as we look out over the next, let's call it, 12 months?
我想一個簡單的問題是,Jensen,你如何定義 Omniverse 中的成功,因為我們展望下一個,讓我們稱之為 12 個月?
And how do we think about the subscription license opportunity for Omniverse?
我們如何看待 Omniverse 的訂閱許可機會?
I know you've talked about 40 million total 3D designers.
我知道你談到了總共 4000 萬 3D 設計師。
I think that actually doubled what you talked about back in August.
我認為這實際上使您在八月份談論的內容翻了一番。
So I'm just curious of how we, as financial analysts, should start to think about that opportunity materializing?
所以我只是好奇,作為金融分析師,我們應該如何開始考慮這個機會的實現?
Jensen Huang;Co-Founder, CEO, President & Director
Jensen Huang;Co-Founder, CEO, President & Director
Yes.
是的。
Omniverse's success will be defined by, number one, developer engagement, connections with developers around the world; two, applications being developed by enterprises; three, the connection of designers and creators among themselves.
Omniverse 的成功將首先取決於開發人員的參與度、與世界各地開發人員的聯繫;二是企業正在開發的應用;三、設計師和創作者之間的聯繫。
Those are the nearest term.
這些是最接近的術語。
And I would say that in my type of definition of success.
我會在我對成功的定義中這麼說。
Near term also should be revenues.
近期也應該是收入。
And Omniverse has real immediate applications as I demonstrated at the keynote.
正如我在主題演講中所展示的,Omniverse 具有真正的直接應用。
And I'll highlight a few of them right now.
我現在將重點介紹其中的一些。
One of them, of course, is that it serves as a way to connect 3D and digital design world.
其中之一,當然,是它作為連接 3D 和數字設計世界的一種方式。
Think of Adobe as a world.
將 Adobe 視為一個世界。
Think of Autodesk as a world because revenue is a world.
將 Autodesk 視為一個世界,因為收入就是一個世界。
These are design worlds in the sense that people are doing things in it, they're creating things in it, and it has its own database.
從某種意義上說,這些都是設計世界,人們在其中做事,他們在其中創造東西,並且它有自己的數據庫。
We made it possible for these worlds to be connected for the very first time and for it to be shared like a cloud document.
我們使這些世界第一次連接成為可能,並且可以像雲文檔一樣共享。
That's not been possible ever before.
這在以前是不可能的。
And you can now share work with each other.
現在你們可以互相分享工作了。
You can see how this work, you can collaborate.
你可以看到這是如何工作的,你可以合作。
And so in a world of remote working, Omniverse's collaboration capability is going to be really appreciated.
因此,在遠程工作的世界中,Omniverse 的協作能力將受到真正的讚賞。
And that should happen right away.
這應該馬上發生。
We would like to see that happen in very near term.
我們希望在短期內看到這種情況發生。
And that drives, of course, more PC sales, more GPU sales, more workstation sales, more server sales.
當然,這會推動更多 PC 銷售、更多 GPU 銷售、更多工作站銷售、更多服務器銷售。
The second use case is digital twins.
第二個用例是數字孿生。
And you saw -- we saw examples of how several companies, they are using Omniverse to create digital twin of a city so that they could optimize radio placements and video energy used for (inaudible).
你看到了——我們看到了幾家公司如何使用 Omniverse 創建城市的數字雙胞胎的例子,以便他們可以優化無線電佈置和用於(聽不清)的視頻能量。
You saw BMW using it for their factories.
你看到寶馬在他們的工廠中使用它。
You're going to see people using it for warehouse -- logistics warehouse to plan and to optimize their warehouses and to plan their robots.
你會看到人們將它用於倉庫——物流倉庫來規劃和優化他們的倉庫並規劃他們的機器人。
And so digital twin applications are absolutely needed.
因此,絕對需要數字孿生應用程序。
And then remember, robots have several kinds.
然後記住,機器人有好幾種。
There's the physical robots that you saw and a physical robot with the self-driving car and a physical robot to do the car itself, turning it into a robot so that it could be an intelligent assistant.
有你看到的物理機器人,還有一個物理機器人和自動駕駛汽車,還有一個物理機器人自己做汽車,把它變成一個機器人,這樣它就可以成為一個智能助手。
But I demonstrate probably the -- in my estimation, the largest application of robots in the future is avatars.
但我可能展示了——據我估計,未來機器人最大的應用是化身。
We built Omniverse Avatar to make it easy for people to integrate some amazing technology from computer vision to speech recognition, natural language understanding, gesture recognition, facial animation, speech synthesis, recommender systems, all of that integrated into one system and running in real time.
我們構建了 Omniverse Avatar,讓人們可以輕鬆地將一些驚人的技術集成到一個系統中並實時運行,從計算機視覺到語音識別、自然語言理解、手勢識別、面部動畫、語音合成、推薦系統,所有這些都集成到一個系統中並實時運行.
That avatar system is essentially a robotic system.
該化身系統本質上是一個機器人系統。
And the way that you would do that is, for example, the 25 million-or-so retail stores, restaurants, places like airports and train stations and office buildings and such, where you're going to have intelligent avatars doing a lot of assistance.
你會這樣做的方式是,例如,2500 萬左右的零售店、餐館、機場、火車站和辦公樓等地方,你將讓智能化身做很多事情幫助。
They might be doing check-out, they might be doing check-in, they might be doing customer support.
他們可能正在辦理退房手續,他們可能正在辦理入住手續,他們可能正在辦理客戶支持。
And all of that could be done with avatars, as I've demonstrated.
正如我所展示的,所有這些都可以通過化身來完成。
So the virtual robotics application, digital bots or avatars is going to be likely the largest robotics opportunity.
因此,虛擬機器人應用、數字機器人或化身可能是最大的機器人機會。
So if you look at our licensing model, the way it basically works is that inside Omniverse, each one of the main users, new users -- and the main user could be one of the 20 million creatives or 20 million designers, we have the 40 million creatives and designers around the world, when they scale Omniverse, each one of the main users would be $1,000 per user per year.
所以如果你看看我們的許可模式,它的基本運作方式是在 Omniverse 內部,每個主要用戶,新用戶——主要用戶可能是 2000 萬創意人員或 2000 萬設計師之一,我們有全球有 4000 萬創意人員和設計師,當他們擴展 Omniverse 時,每個主要用戶每年每位用戶將獲得 1000 美元。
But don't forget that intelligent beings or intelligent users that can be connected to Omniverse will likely be much larger as digital bots than humans.
但不要忘記,可以連接到 Omniverse 的智能生物或智能用戶作為數字機器人可能比人類大得多。
So I've mentioned 40 million, but there are 100 million cars.
所以我提到了 4000 萬輛,但有 1 億輛汽車。
And 100 million cars will all have -- all these have the capability to have something like an Omniverse Avatar.
1 億輛汽車都將擁有——所有這些都有能力擁有像 Omniverse Avatar 這樣的東西。
And so those 100 million cars could be $1,000 per car per year.
因此,這 1 億輛汽車每年可能每輛汽車 1,000 美元。
And in the case of the 25 million or so places where you would have a digital avatar as customer support or check-out, smart retail or smart warehouse, it's smart whatever it is.
在大約 2500 萬個地方,您可以使用數字化身作為客戶支持或結賬、智能零售或智能倉庫,無論它是什麼都是智能的。
Those avatars are also with -- each individual will have a main account.
這些化身也有——每個人都有一個主賬戶。
And so they would be $1,000 per avatar per year.
因此,他們每年每個化身的費用為 1,000 美元。
And so those are the immediate tangible opportunities for us, and I demonstrated the application now.
所以這些對我們來說是直接的切實機會,我現在演示了這個應用程序。
And then, of course, behind all of that, the -- call it, a couple of hundred million digital agents, intelligent agents, some of them human, some of robots, some of them avatars at $1,000 per agent per year.
然後,當然,在這一切的背後,有幾億數字代理、智能代理,其中一些是人類,一些是機器人,其中一些是化身,每個代理每年 1,000 美元。
Behind it are NVIDIA GPUs in PCs, NVIDIA GPUs in the cloud and NVIDIA GPUs still on Omniverse servers.
其背後是 PC 中的 NVIDIA GPU、雲中的 NVIDIA GPU 和仍在 Omniverse 服務器上的 NVIDIA GPU。
And my guess would be that the hardware part of it is probably going to be about half and then the licensing part of it is probably be about half of the time.
我的猜測是,它的硬件部分可能會佔一半左右,然後它的許可部分可能會佔一半左右。
And -- but this was really going to be one of the largest graphics opportunities that we've ever seen.
而且——但這確實將是我們見過的最大的圖形機會之一。
And the reason why it's taking so long for this to manifest is because it requires 3 fundamental technologies to come together.
之所以需要這麼長時間才能體現出來,是因為它需要 3 種基本技術結合在一起。
I guess 4 fundamental technologies come together.
我猜想有 4 種基本技術結合在一起。
First of all is to do the [bracket].
首先是做[括號]。
Second is physics simulation because we're talking about things in a world that has to be believable so it has to obey the laws of physics.
其次是物理模擬,因為我們談論的是一個必須可信的世界中的事物,因此它必須遵守物理定律。
And then third is artificial intelligence, as I've demonstrated in several stages now.
第三個是人工智能,正如我現在分幾個階段展示的那樣。
And all of it runs on top of an Omniverse computer that has to do not just AI, not just physics, not just computer graphics, but all of it.
所有這些都運行在一台 Omniverse 計算機之上,該計算機不僅要處理 AI,不僅僅是物理,不僅僅是計算機圖形,而是所有這些。
And so what long term people -- why people are so excited about it is at the highest level, what it basically means is that long term, when we engage with Internet, which is largely 2D today, long term, every query would be 3D.
那麼長期的人——為什麼人們對它如此興奮是最高水平的,它基本上意味著長期,當我們使用互聯網時,今天主要是 2D,從長期來看,每個查詢都是 3D .
And instead of just querying information, we would query and interact with people and avatars and things, places, and all of these things are in 3D.
而不僅僅是查詢信息,我們將查詢並與人和化身以及事物、地點進行交互,所有這些事物都是 3D 的。
So hopefully, one of these days, that we will try to realize it as fast as we can.
所以希望,在這些日子裡,我們會盡可能快地實現它。
Every transaction that goes over the Internet touches a GPU.
通過 Internet 進行的每筆交易都涉及 GPU。
And today, that's a very small percentage, but hopefully, one of these days it will be a very, very high percentage.
今天,這是一個非常小的百分比,但希望有一天,它會是一個非常非常高的百分比。
I hope that's helpful.
我希望這會有所幫助。

For our next question, we have Mark Lipacis from Jefferies.
對於我們的下一個問題,我們請來自 Jefferies 的 Mark Lipacis。

Jensen, it seems like every year, there seems to be a new set of demand drivers for your accelerated processing ecosystem.
Jensen,似乎每一年,您的加速處理生態系統似乎都有一套新的需求驅動因素。
There's gaming, then neural networking and AI and the blockchain and the ray tracing.
有遊戲,然後是神經網絡和人工智能,還有區塊鍊和光線追踪。
And then like 5 or 6 years ago, you guys showed a bunch of virtual reality demos, which were really exciting at your Analyst Day.
然後就像 5 或 6 年前一樣,你們展示了一堆虛擬現實演示,這在您的分析師日非常令人興奮。
Excitement died down.
興奮消失了。
Now it seems to be resurfacing, particularly with Omniverse Avatar capability and Facebook shining light on the opportunities.
現在它似乎重新浮出水面,特別是 Omniverse Avatar 功能和 Facebook 照亮了機遇。
So the 2 questions from that are, how close is your Omniverse Avatar to morphing into like a mass market technology that everybody uses daily?
因此,其中的兩個問題是,您的 Omniverse Avatar 離轉變為每個人每天都在使用的大眾市場技術有多近?
You can talk about like -- you said that everybody is going to be a gamer, everybody going to be an Omniverse Avatar user.
你可以這樣說——你說每個人都將成為遊戲玩家,每個人都將成為 Omniverse Avatar 用戶。
And maybe the bigger picture is, is it reasonable to think about a new killer app coming out every year?
也許更大的圖景是,考慮每年推出一款新的殺手級應用是否合理?
Is there a parallel that we should think about with previous computing markets that we could think about for the computing era that we're entering right now?
我們是否應該考慮與我們現在正在進入的計算時代可以考慮的先前計算市場的相似之處?
Jensen Huang;Co-Founder, CEO, President & Director
Jensen Huang;Co-Founder, CEO, President & Director
I really appreciate that.
我真的很感激。
Chips are enablers, but chips don't create markets.
芯片是推動者,但芯片不會創造市場。
Software creates markets.
軟件創造市場。
I've explained over the years that accelerated computing is very different than general purpose computing.
多年來,我已經解釋過加速計算與通用計算有很大不同。
And the reason for that is because you can't just write a C compiler and compile quantum physics into a chip when it doesn't.
這樣做的原因是因為你不能只編寫一個 C 編譯器並將量子物理學編譯到芯片中,而實際上它沒有。
You can't just compile showing your situation and have it distributed across multiple GPUs and multiple nodes and have it (inaudible).
您不能只編譯顯示您的情況並將其分佈在多個 GPU 和多個節點上並擁有它(聽不清)。
You just -- you can't do that for computer graphics.
你只是 - 你不能為計算機圖形做那個。
You can't do that for artificial intelligence.
對於人工智能,你不能這樣做。
You can't do that for robotics.
對於機器人技術,你不能這樣做。
You can't do that for most of the interesting applications in the world.
對於世界上大多數有趣的應用程序,您無法做到這一點。
And because we really went out of theme with GPUs, that people are saying that not because it's not true, it's abundantly clear that the amount in instructional parallels will then be squeezed out of a system is, although not 0, is incredibly hard.
而且因為我們真的脫離了 GPU 的主題,人們說這不是因為它不是真的,很明顯,教學並行的數量將被擠出一個系統,儘管不是 0,但非常困難。
It's just incredibly hard.
這簡直太難了。
And there's another approach.
還有另一種方法。
And we've been advocating accelerated computing for some time, and now people really see the benefit of it.
一段時間以來,我們一直在提倡加速計算,現在人們真正看到了它的好處。
But it does require a lot of work.
但這確實需要大量的工作。
And the work basically says for every domain, for every application, we have -- for every application in a large domain ideally, you have to have a full stack.
這項工作基本上說,對於每個領域,對於我們擁有的每個應用程序——理想情況下,對於大型領域中的每個應用程序,您都必須擁有完整的堆棧。
And so whenever you want to open a new market by accelerating those applications or the domain of applications, you have to come up with a new stack.
因此,每當您想通過加速這些應用程序或應用程序領域來打開一個新市場時,您都必須想出一個新的堆棧。
And the new stack is hard because you have to understand the application, you have to understand the algorithms, the mathematics, you have to understand computer science to distribute it across, to take something that was single threaded and make it multi-threaded and make something that was done sequentially and make its process in parallel.
新堆棧很難,因為你必須了解應用程序,你必須了解算法、數學,你必須了解計算機科學才能將其分佈,將單線程的東西變成多線程的,然後按順序完成並使其過程並行的事情。
You break everything.
你打破了一切。
You break storage, you break networking, you break everything.
你破壞了存儲,你破壞了網絡,你破壞了一切。
And so it takes a fair amount of expertise, and that's why we say that over the years, over the course of 30 years, we've become a full-stack company because we've been trying to solve this problem practically through decades.
所以這需要相當多的專業知識,這就是為什麼我們說多年來,在 30 年的過程中,我們已經成為一家全棧公司,因為幾十年來我們一直在努力解決這個問題。
And so that's one.
這就是其中之一。
But the benefit, once you have the ability, then you can open new markets.
但好處是,一旦有了能力,就可以開闢新的市場。
And we played a very large role in democratizing artificial intelligence and making it possible for anybody to be able to do it.
我們在使人工智能民主化並使任何人都能做到這一點方面發揮了非常重要的作用。
Our greatest contribution is I hope when it's all said and done, that we've democratized scientific computing so that researchers and scientists, computer scientists and data scientists, scientists of all kinds, were able to get access to this incredibly powerful tool that we call computers to do -- to advance research.
我們最大的貢獻是,我希望說到底,我們已經使科學計算民主化,以便研究人員和科學家、計算機科學家和數據科學家、各種科學家能夠使用我們稱之為的這個非常強大的工具計算機要做的——推進研究。
And so every single year, we're filling up with these stacks, and we've got a whole bunch of stacks that we're working on.
所以每一年,我們都在用這些堆棧填滿,我們正在處理一大堆堆棧。
And many of them I'm working on in plain sight so that you see it coming, you just have to connect it together.
其中許多我都在顯眼地工作,以便您看到它的到來,您只需將它們連接在一起即可。
One of the areas that we spoke about this time, of course, was Omniverse.
當然,我們這次談到的領域之一是 Omniverse。
You saw the pieces that are being built in over time.
你看到了隨著時間的推移正在建造的作品。
It took half a decade to start building Omniverse, but it's built on a quarter century of work.
開始構建 Omniverse 花了五年時間,但它建立在四分之一世紀的工作之上。
In the case of the Omniverse Avatar, you can literally point to Merlin recommender; Megatron, language -- large language model; Riva, the speech AI; all of our computer vision AIs that I've been demonstrating over the years; natural speed synthesis that you see every single year with i am ai, the opening credits, how we're using, developing an AI to be able to speak in a human way so that people feel more comfortable and more engaged with the AI; face, eye tracking, Maxine.
對於 Omniverse Avatar,您可以直接指向 Merlin 推薦器;威震天,語言——大型語言模型; Riva,語音人工智能;多年來我一直在展示的所有計算機視覺 AI;你每年都會看到的自然速度合成我是人工智能,開場學分,我們如何使用,開發一個能夠以人類方式說話的人工智能,讓人們感覺更舒服,更參與人工智能;面部,眼動追踪,Maxine。
And all of these technologies all kind of tie together.
所有這些技術都結合在一起。
They were all being built in pieces from the integrated -- we have no intentions of integrating it to create what is called Omniverse Avatar.
它們都是從集成中構建的——我們無意集成它來創建所謂的 Omniverse Avatar。
And now -- then you asked the question, how quickly will we deploy this?
現在 - 然後你問了這個問題,我們將多快部署它?
I believe Omniverse Avatar will be in drive-throughs of restaurants, fast food restaurants, check-outs of restaurants, in retail stores all over the world within less than 5 years.
我相信 Omniverse Avatar 將在不到 5 年的時間內進入世界各地的餐館、快餐店、餐館結賬和零售店。
And we really use it in all kinds of different applications because there's such a great shortage of labor.
我們真的在各種不同的應用中使用它,因為勞動力非常短缺。
And there's such a wonderful way that we can now engage in Avatar.
有一種奇妙的方式,我們現在可以參與 Avatar。
And I think it could -- think it doesn't make mistakes, it never gets tired and it's always on.
而且我認為它可以 - 認為它不會犯錯誤,它永遠不會感到疲倦並且它總是在運行。
And we made it so that it's cloud-native.
我們做到了,它是雲原生的。
And so when you saw the keynote, I hope you'd agree that the interaction is continuous and the conversational form is so enjoyable.
所以當你看到主題演講時,我希望你會同意互動是連續的,對話形式是如此令人愉快。
And so anyway, I think what you highlighted is, one, accelerating computing is a full-stack challenge; two, it takes software to open new markets.
所以無論如何,我認為你強調的是,第一,加速計算是一個全棧挑戰;二是軟件打開新市場。
Chips won't open new markets.
芯片不會打開新市場。
If you build another chip, you can steal somebody's share, but you can't open new markets.
如果你製造另一個芯片,你可以竊取別人的份額,但你不能打開新市場。
And it takes software to open new markets, and we have switched with software.
並且需要軟件來打開新市場,而我們已經用軟件進行了轉換。
And that's one of the reasons why we could engage such large market opportunity.
這就是我們能夠抓住如此巨大的市場機會的原因之一。
And then lastly, with respect to Omniverse, I believe it's a near-term opportunity that we've been working on for some 3, 4, 5 years.
最後,關於 Omniverse,我相信這是一個我們已經努力了 3、4、5 年的短期機會。

Yes.
是的。
And I guess, not an Omniverse question, but I guess, Jensen, I'd like your commitment that you will not use Omniverse to target the sell-side research industry.
我想,這不是 Omniverse 的問題,但我想,Jensen,我希望你能承諾不會使用 Omniverse 來瞄準賣方研究行業。
But as my real question, can you speak to your data center visibility into 2022 and beyond?
但作為我真正的問題,您能否談談您的數據中心對 2022 年及以後的可見性?
And within this outlook, can you talk to traditional cloud versus industry verticals?
在這種前景下,您能否談談傳統雲與垂直行業?
And then perhaps emerging opportunities like Omniverse and others.
然後可能會出現 Omniverse 等新興機會。
Would love to get a sense of kind of what you're seeing today.
很想了解你今天所看到的。
And then as part of that, how you're planning to secure foundry and other supply to support that growth.
然後作為其中的一部分,您計劃如何確保代工廠和其他供應以支持這種增長。
Jensen Huang;Co-Founder, CEO, President & Director
Jensen Huang;Co-Founder, CEO, President & Director
Thank you, C.J. First of all, we have secured guaranteed supply, very large amounts of it, quite a spectacular amount of it from the world's leading foundry and substrate in packaging and testing companies that are integral part of our supply chain.
謝謝你,C.J。首先,我們已經從世界領先的封裝和測試公司的代工和基板公司獲得了有保證的供應,數量非常多,數量相當驚人,這些公司是我們供應鏈中不可或缺的一部分。
And so we have done that and feel very good about our supply situation, particularly starting in the second half of next year and going forward.
所以我們已經做到了,並且對我們的供應情況感覺非常好,特別是從明年下半年開始並展望未來。
I think this whole last year was a wake-up call for everybody to be much more mindful about not taking the supply chain for granted.
我認為去年的這一整年是一個警鐘,讓每個人都更加註意不要將供應鏈視為理所當然。
And we were fortunate to have such great partners.
我們很幸運有這麼好的合作夥伴。
But nonetheless, we've secured this with our future.
但儘管如此,我們已經用我們的未來確保了這一點。
With respect to data center, about half of our data center business comes from the cloud and cloud service providers, and the other half comes from enterprise, what we call enterprise companies.
在數據中心方面,我們的數據中心業務大約有一半來自云和雲服務提供商,另一半來自企業,我們稱之為企業公司。
They're all -- in all kinds of industries.
他們都 - 在各種行業。
And about 1% of it comes from supercomputing centers.
其中約 1% 來自超級計算中心。
So 30%-or-so, cloud; 50%-or-so, enterprise; and 1% supercomputing centers.
所以 30% 左右,雲; 50%左右,企業;和 1% 的超級計算中心。
And we expect next year, the cloud service providers to scale out their deep learning and their AI workloads really aggressively.
我們預計明年,雲服務提供商將真正積極地擴展他們的深度學習和人工智能工作負載。
And we're seeing it right now.
我們現在就看到了。
We've built a really fantastic platform, and -- number one.
我們已經建立了一個非常棒的平台,而且——第一。
Number two, the work we've been doing with TensorRT, which is the run time that goes into the server that's called Triton is one of our best pieces of work.
第二,我們一直在使用 TensorRT 進行的工作,即進入稱為 Triton 的服務器的運行時,是我們最好的工作之一。
We're just so proud of it.
我們為此感到非常自豪。
And we said nearly 4 years ago, 3.5 years ago that inference is going to be one of the great computer science challenges, and we're really prudent to be so.
近 4 年前,3.5 年前我們說過,推理將成為計算機科學的一大挑戰,我們非常謹慎地這樣做。
And the reason for that is because sometimes it's so fast, sometimes it's latency, sometimes it's interactivity and the type of models we have to inference.
其原因是因為有時它非常快,有時是延遲,有時是交互性以及我們必須推斷的模型類型。
It's just all over the math.
這只是在數學上。
It's not just computer vision or image recognition, it's all over the math.
這不僅僅是計算機視覺或圖像識別,而是數學。
And the reason for that is we have so many different types of architectures.
原因是我們有這麼多不同類型的架構。
We have so many different ways to build different applications.
我們有很多不同的方法來構建不同的應用程序。
And so the application is fabricated, and we're trying to -- we just have wonderful people working.
所以這個應用程序是虛構的,我們正在努力——我們只是有很棒的人在工作。

One, we reminded everybody that just months before, we have tried to support not just in every generation of NVIDIA GPUs, which there are so many versions -- could you imagine, without Triton, how would you possibly deploy AI across the entire fleet of NVIDIA servers, NVIDIA GPU servers that are all over the world?
第一,我們提醒大家,就在幾個月前,我們試圖支持的不僅僅是每一代 NVIDIA GPU,它們有很多版本——你能想像,如果沒有 Triton,你怎麼可能在整個艦隊中部署人工智能? NVIDIA服務器,NVIDIA GPU服務器遍布全球?
And so it's almost an essential tool just to operate and take advantage of all of NVIDIA's GPUs.
因此,它幾乎是操作和利用所有 NVIDIA GPU 的必備工具。
These are the latest.
這些是最新的。
Two, we support GPUs.
第二,我們支持 GPU。
And so it's no longer necessary for someone to have 2 inference servers, you can just have 1 inference server because the NVIDIA versions are already essential.
因此,不再需要有人擁有 2 台推理服務器,您可以只擁有 1 台推理服務器,因為 NVIDIA 版本已經必不可少。
Now everybody could just use Triton in every single server in the data center to be part of the inference capacity.
現在每個人都可以在數據中心的每台服務器中使用 Triton 作為推理能力的一部分。
And then we did something else that was a really big deal at GTC, which is this we call forced inference library cost bill.
然後我們做了一些在 GTC 非常重要的事情,這就是我們所說的強制推理庫成本賬單。
But basically, the most popular machine learning systems in inference models are based on trees, decision trees, and boosted gradient trees.
但基本上,推理模型中最流行的機器學習系統是基於樹、決策樹和增強梯度樹的。
And people might know it as XGBoost.
人們可能將其稱為 XGBoost。
And it's used all over the place in fraud detection, in recommender systems, and they're utilized in companies all over the world because it's just self-explanatory, you can build upon it.
它在欺詐檢測、推薦系統中被廣泛使用,並且它們被世界各地的公司使用,因為它是不言自明的,你可以在它的基礎上進行構建。
You don't worry about regressions if you build these under the trees.
如果您在樹下構建這些,您不必擔心回歸。
And we -- this GTC, we announced that we support that as well.
我們——這個 GTC,我們宣布我們也支持它。
And so all of a sudden, all of that workload that runs on GPUs not only do they run on Triton, it becomes accelerated.
突然之間,所有在 GPU 上運行的工作負載不僅在 Triton 上運行,而且變得加速了。
And then the last -- the next thing that we have announced was the tremendous interest in large language models.
最後——我們宣布的下一件事是對大型語言模型的極大興趣。
Triton now also supports multi-GPU and multi-node inference so that we could take something like an open AI, GPT-3, NVIDIA Megatron, 530B or anybody's giant model that's being developed all over the world in all these different languages and all these different domains and all these different deals of signers and what in the industry we can now inference it in real time.
Triton 現在還支持多 GPU 和多節點推理,因此我們可以採用開放式 AI、GPT-3、NVIDIA Megatron、530B 或任何人的巨型模型,這些模型正在世界各地以所有這些不同的語言和所有這些語言開發不同的領域和所有這些不同的簽名者交易,以及我們現在可以實時推斷的行業內容。
And I demonstrated it in one of the demos.
我在其中一個演示中演示了它。
There was a toy Jensen that the team built and it was able to, basically, answer questions in real time.
團隊製造了一個玩具 Jensen,它基本上能夠實時回答問題。
And so that is just a giant breakthrough.
所以這只是一個巨大的突破。
And these are the type of workloads that's going to make it possible for us to continue to scale out, basically.
基本上,這些工作負載類型將使我們能夠繼續向外擴展。
So back to your original question.
所以回到你原來的問題。
I think this year has been quite a big year for data centers.
我認為今年對於數據中心來說是非常重要的一年。
Customers are very mindful of securing their supply for their scale-out.
客戶非常注意確保其橫向擴展的供應。
And so we have a fair amount of visibility, and more visibility probably than ever of data centers.
因此,我們擁有相當多的可見性,而且數據中心的可見性可能比以往任何時候都高。
But in addition to the Triton adoption everywhere.
但除了海衛一的採用無處不在。
And then finally, our brand-new workload, which is built on top of AI and graphics and simulation, which is Omniverse.
最後是我們全新的工作負載,它建立在人工智能、圖形和模擬之上,即 Omniverse。
And you saw the examples that I gave.
你看到了我給出的例子。
These are real companies doing real work.
這些是真正的公司在做真正的工作。
And one of the areas that is -- has severe shortages around the world is customer support.
世界各地嚴重短缺的領域之一是客戶支持。
Just genuine severe shortages all over the world.
只是世界各地真正的嚴重短缺。
And we think the answer is Omniverse Avatar, and it runs in data centers.
我們認為答案是 Omniverse Avatar,它在數據中心運行。
You could adapt Omniverse Avatar to do drive-throughs or retail check-out or customer service.
您可以調整 Omniverse Avatar 來進行免下車或零售結賬或客戶服務。
And I've demonstrated that with Tokkio, a talking kiosk.
我已經用 Tokkio 演示了這一點,這是一個會說話的信息亭。
You can use it for a teleoperated customer service, and we've demonstrated that with [Maxine].
您可以將它用於遠程操作的客戶服務,我們已經用 [Maxine] 證明了這一點。
We've demonstrated how you can use it even for videoconferencing.
我們已經演示瞭如何將它用於視頻會議。
And then lastly, we demonstrated how we can use Omniverse Avatar for robotics, and for example, to create a concierge, what we call DRIVE Concierge for your car, turning it into an intelligent, it's like your customer support, intelligent agent.
最後,我們演示瞭如何將 Omniverse Avatar 用於機器人技術,例如,為您的汽車創建一個禮賓部,我們稱之為 DRIVE Concierge,將其變成智能的,就像您的客戶支持、智能代理一樣。
That's why I think Omniverse Avatar is going to be a really exciting driver for enterprises next year.
這就是為什麼我認為 Omniverse Avatar 明年將成為企業的一個真正令人興奮的驅動力。
So next year, NVIDIA is going to be -- we're seeing up a pretty, pretty terrific year for [Omniverse].
所以明年,NVIDIA 將會是——我們看到 [Omniverse] 的美好、非常棒的一年。

I wanted to ask 2 of them on data center, both near term and then maybe a little longer term.
我想問他們中的 2 個關於數據中心的問題,無論是短期還是長期。
On the near-term, Colette, you've suggested guidance into Q4 will be driven by data center and gaming.
在短期內,科萊特,你建議第四季度的指導將由數據中心和遊戲驅動。
And you mentioned data center first.
你首先提到了數據中心。
Does that mean that it's bigger?
這是否意味著它更大?
And if you could just help us like parse the contribution of each into Q4?
如果你能幫助我們將每個人的貢獻解析到第四季度?
And then into next year, given the commentary for the last question.
然後進入明年,給出最後一個問題的評論。
Again, it sounds like you've got like a very strong outlook for data center, both from hyperscale and enterprise.
同樣,聽起來您對超大規模和企業數據中心的前景非常看好。
And if I look at sort of the implied guidance, we give our data center for you is probably likely to grow 50% year-over-year in this fiscal year.
如果我看一下隱含的指導,我們為您提供的數據中心在本財年可能會同比增長 50%。
Would it be crazy to think given all those drivers that it could grow by a similar amount next year as well?
考慮到所有這些驅動因素,明年它也可能以類似的數量增長,這是不是很瘋狂?
Like how should we be thinking about that given all of the drivers that you've been laying out?
考慮到您一直在佈置的所有驅動程序,我們應該如何考慮這一點?
Colette M. Kress - Executive VP & CFO
Colette M. Kress - Executive VP & CFO
Okay.
好的。
Thanks, Stacy, for the question.
謝謝,史黛西的問題。
Let's first focus in terms of our guidance for Q4 or statements that we made were, yes, about driven by revenue growth from data center and gaming sequentially.
讓我們首先關注我們對第四季度的指導或我們所做的聲明,是的,是由數據中心和遊戲的收入連續增長推動的。
We could probably expect our data center to grow faster than our gaming probably both in terms of percentage-wise and absolute dollars.
我們可能期望我們的數據中心在百分比和絕對美元方面都比我們的遊戲增長得更快。
We also expect our key product to decline quarter-on-quarter to very negligible levels in Q4.
我們還預計我們的主要產品將在第四季度環比下降至非常微不足道的水平。
So I hope that gives you a color on Q4.
所以我希望這能給你一個關於第四季度的顏色。
Now in terms of next year, we'll certainly turn the corner into the new fiscal year.
現在就明年而言,我們肯定會轉入新的財政年度。
We certainly provide guidance one quarter out.
我們當然會提供四分之一的指導。
We've given some great discussion here about the opportunities in front of us, opportunities with the hyperscales, the opportunities with the verticals, Omniverse is a full-stack opportunity in front of us.
我們在這裡就擺在我們面前的機會、超大規模的機會、垂直領域的機會進行了一些精彩的討論,Omniverse 是擺在我們面前的全棧機會。
We are securing supply for next year not just for the current year in Q4 to allow us to really grow into so much of this opportunity going forward.
我們正在確保明年的供應,而不僅僅是今年第四季度的供應,以使我們能夠真正成長為未來的這個機會。
But at this time, we're going to wait until next year to provide guidance.
但目前,我們要等到明年才能提供指導。

Actually, I had 2 quick ones, Jensen.
實際上,我有兩個快速的,Jensen。
So Colette, you suggested the inventory purchase and supply agreements are up, I think, almost 68% year-on-year.
所以科萊特,你建議庫存採購和供應協議同比增長近 68%。
Does that provide some directional correlation with how you are preparing for growth over the next 12 to 24 months?
這是否與您如何為未來 12 到 24 個月的增長做準備提供了一些方向相關性?
So that's one question.
所以這是一個問題。
And then the bigger question, Jensen, that I have for you is, where are we in the AI adoption cycle?
然後更大的問題,詹森,我要問你的是,我們在人工智能採用周期中處於什麼位置?
What percentage of servers are accelerated in hyperscale and vertical industry today?
當今超大規模和垂直行業中加速服務器的百分比是多少?
And where can those ratios get to?
這些比率可以到達哪裡?
Colette M. Kress - Executive VP & CFO
Colette M. Kress - Executive VP & CFO
Thanks for the question.
謝謝你的問題。
So let's first start in terms of supply or our supply purchase agreements.
因此,讓我們首先從供應或我們的供應採購協議開始。
You have noted that we are discussing that we have made payments towards some of those commitments.
你已經註意到我們正在討論我們已經為其中的一些承諾付款。
Not only are we procuring for what we need in the quarter, what we need next year.
我們不僅採購了本季度所需的東西,而且採購了明年所需的東西。
And again, we are planning for growth next year, so we have been planning that supply purchases, we are also doing long-term supply purchases.
同樣,我們正在計劃明年的增長,所以我們一直在計劃供應採購,我們也在進行長期供應採購。
These are areas of capacity agreements and/or many of our different suppliers.
這些是產能協議和/或我們許多不同供應商的領域。
We made a payment within this quarter of approximately $1.6 billion out of total long-term capacity agreements of about $3.4 billion.
我們在本季度內支付了約 16 億美元的總長期產能協議中的約 34 億美元。
So we still have more payments to make, and we will likely continue to be purchasing longer term to support our growth that we are planning for many years to come.
因此,我們仍然需要支付更多的款項,而且我們可能會繼續購買更長期的產品,以支持我們計劃在未來多年內實現的增長。

Every single server will be GPU-accelerated some day.
總有一天,每台服務器都會被 GPU 加速。
Today, of all the clouds and all the enterprise, less than 10%.
今天,在所有云和所有企業中,不到 10%。
That kind of gives you a sense of where you are.
那種感覺讓你知道你在哪裡。
In terms of the workloads, it's also consistent with that in the sense that a lot of the workloads still only run on GPUs, which is the reason why in order for us to grow, we have to be a full-stack company.
在工作負載方面,這也是一致的,因為很多工作負載仍然只在 GPU 上運行,這就是為什麼我們要成長,我們必須成為一家全棧公司。
And we have to go find applications.
我們必須去尋找應用程序。
We don't have to find them, we have plenty of them.
我們不必找到它們,我們有很多。
Focus on applications that require acceleration or benefits tremendously from acceleration that if they were to get a million x speedup, which sounds insane, but it's not.
專注於需要加速或從加速中獲得巨大收益的應用程序,如果他們要獲得一百萬倍的加速,這聽起來很瘋狂,但事實並非如此。
Mathematically, I can prove it to you.
數學上,我可以證明給你看。
And historically, I can even demonstrate to you that in many, many areas, we have seen knowing their speedups and have completely revolutionized those industries.
從歷史上看,我什至可以向你證明,在很多很多領域,我們已經看到了他們的加速並徹底改變了這些行業。
Computer graphics is, of course, one of them.
當然,計算機圖形學就是其中之一。
Omniverse would not be possible without.
沒有 Omniverse 是不可能的。
And so the work that we're doing with digital biology, protein synthesis, which is likely going to be one of the large industries in the world that doesn't exist today at all, protein engineering.
所以我們在數字生物學方面所做的工作,蛋白質合成,這很可能是世界上今天根本不存在的大型產業之一,蛋白質工程。
And the protein economy is likely going to be very, very large.
蛋白質經濟可能會非常非常大。
You can't do that unless you are able to get a million x speedup in -- I see the relation of protein dynamics.
除非您能夠獲得一百萬倍的加速,否則您無法做到這一點——我看到了蛋白質動力學的關係。
And so those are -- and not to mention some of the most imperative problems that we have to go and engage, climate science needs a million x, billion x speedup.
所以這些是 - 更不用說我們必須解決的一些最緊迫的問題,氣候科學需要一百萬倍,十億倍的加速。
And we are at a point where we can actually tackle it.
我們正處於可以真正解決它的地步。
And so in each one of these cases, we have to find -- we have to focus our resources to go and accelerate those applications, and that translates to growth.
因此,在每一種情況下,我們都必須找到——我們必須集中資源來加速這些應用程序,這會轉化為增長。
Until then, they'll run on GPUs.
在那之前,它們將在 GPU 上運行。
And if you look at a lot of today's speech synthesis and speech recognition systems, they're still using a fairly traditional or [minister] traditional deep learning approaches for CGI.
而且,如果您查看當今的許多語音合成和語音識別系統,它們仍在使用相當傳統的或 [部長] 傳統的 CGI 深度學習方法。
NVIDIA's Riva is the world's first, I believe, that is end-to-end deep neural network.
我相信 NVIDIA 的 Riva 是世界上第一個端到端的深度神經網絡。
And we've worked with many companies in helping them advance there so that they could move their clouds to neural-based approaches.
我們已經與許多公司合作,幫助他們在這方面取得進展,以便他們可以將他們的雲遷移到基於神經的方法。
But that's one of the reasons why we do it, so that we could provide a reference.
但這是我們這樣做的原因之一,以便我們可以提供參考。
But we can also license it to enterprises around the world so that they could adapt it for their own use cases.
但我們也可以將其授權給世界各地的企業,以便他們根據自己的用例進行調整。
And so one application after another, we have to get it accelerated.
因此,一個又一個應用程序,我們必須加快速度。
One domain after another, we have to get it accelerated.
一個接一個的領域,我們必須讓它加速。
One of the ones that I was very excited about and something that we've been working on for so long is EDA, even our own industry, Electronic Design Automation.
其中一個讓我非常興奮並且我們一直在研究的東西是 EDA,甚至是我們自己的行業,電子設計自動化。
For the very first time, we announced the EDA using computer science computing, whether because of the artificial intelligence capability because EDA is a very large combinatorial optimization program.
我們第一次宣布使用計算機科學計算的 EDA,無論是因為人工智能能力,因為 EDA 是一個非常大的組合優化程序。
And using artificial intelligence, we could really improve the design quality and design time.
並且使用人工智能,我們可以真正提高設計質量和設計時間。
So we're seeing all the major EDA vendors, from chip design to simulation to PCB design and optimization, design synthesis moving towards artificial intelligence and GPU acceleration in a very significant way.
因此,我們看到所有主要的 EDA 供應商,從芯片設計到仿真,再到 PCB 設計和優化,設計合成正以非常重要的方式向人工智能和 GPU 加速發展。
And then we see that with mechanical CAD and traditional CAD application.
然後我們在機械 CAD 和傳統 CAD 應用程序中看到了這一點。
Now also jumping on to GPU acceleration.
現在也開始使用 GPU 加速。
And again, very significant speedups.
再次,非常顯著的加速。
And so I'm super excited about the work that we're doing in each one of these domains because every time you do it, you open up a brand-new market.
因此,我對我們在這些領域中的每一個領域所做的工作感到非常興奮,因為每次你這樣做,你都會打開一個全新的市場。
And customers who have never used them (inaudible), now can because ultimately people don't buy chips.
從未使用過它們的客戶(聽不清)現在可以使用,因為最終人們不會購買芯片。
They're trying to solve problems.
他們正在努力解決問題。
And without a full fact, without software expertise, we can't really commence the enabling technology, what the chip provides, and ultimately resolving the question for me.
如果沒有完整的事實,沒有軟件專業知識,我們就無法真正開始啟用技術、芯片提供的功能,並最終為我解決問題。

Colette, I had a question about gross margin.
Colette,我有一個關於毛利率的問題。
Are there any margin headwinds maybe on the wafer pricing side that we should sort of think about normalizing out because gross margin is pretty flat between fiscal Q4 to fiscal -- sorry, between fiscal Q2 and fiscal Q4.
晶圓定價方面是否有任何利潤逆風,我們應該考慮一下正常化,因為毛利率在第四財季到財年之間相當平緩——抱歉,在第二財季和第四財季之間。
But I imagine that's kind of masking a strong underlying margin growth, especially as data center has been actually driving that growth.
但我認為這掩蓋了強勁的潛在利潤率增長,尤其是在數據中心實際上一直在推動這種增長的情況下。
So I'm wondering if maybe there are some underlying factors that are sort of gaining gross margin.
所以我想知道是否可能有一些潛在因素正在增加毛利率。
Colette M. Kress - Executive VP & CFO
Colette M. Kress - Executive VP & CFO
Yes.
是的。
So we have always been working on our gross margin and being able to absorb a lot of the cost changes along the way, architecture-to-architecture, year-to-year.
因此,我們一直在努力提高我們的毛利率,並且能夠吸收沿途的大量成本變化,架構到架構,每年。
So that's always baked in to our gross margins.
所以這總是影響我們的毛利率。
Our gross margins right now are largely stable.
我們目前的毛利率基本穩定。
Our incremental revenue, for example, what we're expecting next quarter will likely align to our current gross margin levels that we finished in terms of Q3.
例如,我們的增量收入,例如,我們對下一季度的預期可能與我們在第三季度完成的當前毛利率水平保持一致。
Our largest driver always continues to be mix.
我們最大的驅動力始終是混合的。
We have a lot of different mix that has vision related to high-end AR and RTX solutions, for example, and the software that's embedded in solutions have allowed us to increase the gross margin.
例如,我們有許多與高端 AR 和 RTX 解決方案相關的不同組合,並且嵌入在解決方案中的軟件使我們能夠提高毛利率。
As we look forward, long term, software is sold separately.
正如我們所期待的那樣,從長遠來看,軟件是單獨出售的。
It can be another damper of gross margin increases in the future.
這可能是未來毛利率增長的另一個抑制因素。
But cost changes, cost increases have generally been a part of our gross margin for years.
但是成本變化,成本增加多年來通常是我們毛利率的一部分。
