    您談到了推論,以及 T4 和 V100 都有創紀錄的季度,但相對於您的內部預期,哪些業務推動了上漲?

  • And if you can also speak to the breadth of your customer profile today relative to a couple of years ago, how that's expanded, that would be helpful as well.

    而且,如果您還可以談論您今天相對於幾年前的客戶檔案的廣度,以及如何擴展,那也會有所幫助。

  • Jensen Huang - Co-Founder, CEO, President & Director

    Jensen Huang - Co-Founder, CEO, President & Director

  • Yes.

    是的。

  • Toshiya, thanks a lot for your question.

    Toshiya,非常感謝你的提問。

  • The primary driver for our growth is AI.

    我們增長的主要驅動力是人工智能。

  • There are 4 fundamental dynamics.

    有4個基本動態。

  • The first is that the AI models that are being created are achieving breakthroughs and quite amazing breakthroughs, in fact, in natural language understanding, in conversational AI, in recommendation systems.

    首先是正在創建的 AI 模型正在取得突破,並且取得了相當驚人的突破,事實上,在自然語言理解、對話式 AI 和推薦系統方面。

  • And you know this, but for the others in the audience, recommendation systems are essentially the engine of the Internet today.

    你知道這一點,但對於觀眾中的其他人來說,推薦系統本質上是當今互聯網的引擎。

  • And the reason for that is because there are so many items in the world, whether it's a store or whether it's content or websites or information you are querying, there are hundreds of billions, trillions, and depending on how you count it, hundreds of trillions of items in the world.

    而之所以會這樣,是因為世界上的東西太多了,不管是商店,還是內容,網站,或者你查詢的信息,有上千億,上萬億,看你怎麼算,上百個世界上數以萬億計的物品。

  • And there are billions of people, each with their own characteristics and their countless contexts.

    有數十億人,每個人都有自己的特點和無數的背景。

  • And between the items, the people, the users and the various contexts that we're in, location and what you're looking for and weather or what's happening in the environment, those kind of contexts affects the search query that -- the answer they provide you.

    在項目、人、用戶和我們所處的各種上下文、位置和您正在尋找的內容以及天氣或環境中發生的事情之間,這些上下文會影響搜索查詢——答案他們為您提供。

  • The recommendation system is just foundational now to search.

    推薦系統現在只是搜索的基礎。

  • And some people have said this is the end of search and the beginning -- and the era of recommendation systems.

    有人說這是搜索的終結和開始——推薦系統的時代。

  • Work is being done everywhere around the world in advancing recommendation systems.

    世界各地都在推進推薦系統。

  • And very first time over the last year, it's been able to be done in deep learning.

    去年第一次,它能夠在深度學習中完成。

  • And so the first thing is just the breakthroughs in AI.

    所以第一件事就是人工智能的突破。

  • The second is production AI, which means that whereas we had significant and we continue to have significant opportunities in training because the models are getting larger, and there are more of them, we're seeing a lot of these models going into production, and that business is called inference.

    第二個是生產人工智能,這意味著雖然我們有很大的機會,而且我們繼續有很大的培訓機會,因為模型越來越大,而且數量更多,但我們看到很多這些模型投入生產,並且該業務稱為推理。

  • Inference, as Colette mentioned, grew 4x year-over-year.

    正如 Colette 所說,Inference 同比增長了 4 倍。

  • It's a substantial part of our business now.

    它現在是我們業務的重要組成部分。

  • But one of the interesting statistics is TensorRT 7, the entire TensorRT download this year was about 500,000, a doubling over a year ago.

    但其中一個有趣的統計數據是 TensorRT 7,今年整個 TensorRT 下載量約為 500,000,比一年前翻了一番。

  • What most people don't understand about inference is it's an incredibly complex computational problem, but it's an enormously complex software problem.

    大多數人不了解推理是一個非常複雜的計算問題,但它是一個非常複雜的軟件問題。

  • And so the second dynamic is moving from training or growing from training and models going into production called inference.

    因此,第二個動力是從訓練轉向或從訓練和模型發展到生產,稱為推理。

  • The third is the growth, not just in hyperscale anymore, but in public cloud and in vertical industries.

    第三個是增長,不僅在超大規模領域,而且在公共雲和垂直行業。

  • Public cloud because of thousands of AI start-ups that are now developing AI software in the cloud.

    公共雲是因為成千上萬的 AI 初創公司現在正在雲中開發 AI 軟件。

  • And the OpEx model works much better for them as they're younger.

    OpEx 模式對他們更有效,因為他們更年輕。

  • When they become larger, they could decide to build their own data center infrastructure on-prem, but the thousands of start-ups start their lives in the cloud.

    當他們變得更大時,他們可以決定在本地構建自己的數據中心基礎設施,但成千上萬的初創企業開始在雲中生活。

  • We're also seeing really great success in verticals.

    我們也在垂直領域看到了巨大的成功。

  • One of the most exciting vertical is logistics.

    最令人興奮的垂直領域之一是物流。

  • Logistics, retail, warehousing.

    物流、零售、倉儲。

  • We announced, I think, this quarter or last -- end of last quarter, USPS, American Express, Walmart, just large companies who have enormous amounts of data that they're trying to do data analytics on and do predictive analytics on.

    我認為,我們在本季度或上一季度末宣布,USPS、美國運通、沃爾瑪,只是擁有大量數據的大公司,他們正試圖對其進行數據分析和預測分析。

  • And so the third dynamic is the growth in -- beyond hyperscale and public cloud as well as vertical industries.

    因此,第三個動力是超越超大規模和公共雲以及垂直行業的增長。

  • And then the last dynamic is being talked about a lot, and this is really, really exciting, and it's called edge AI.

    最後一個動態被談論了很多,這真的非常令人興奮,它被稱為邊緣人工智能。

  • We used to call it industries and AI where the action is.

    我們曾經把它稱為工業和人工智能。

  • But the industry now calls edge AI.

    但業界現在稱之為邊緣人工智能。

  • We're seeing a lot of excitement there.

    我們在那裡看到了很多興奮。

  • And the reason for that is you need to have low latency inference.

    原因是您需要進行低延遲推理。

  • You might not be able to stream the data all the way to the cloud for cost reasons or data sovereignty reasons, and you need the response time.

    出於成本原因或數據主權原因,您可能無法將數據一直流式傳輸到雲端,並且您需要響應時間。

  • And so those 4 dynamics around AI really drove our growth.

    因此,圍繞人工智能的這 4 種動力真正推動了我們的增長。

  • That's a really good question.

    這是一個非常好的問題。

  • In fact, if you look backwards, now we only have the benefit of history.

    事實上,如果你向後看,現在我們只有歷史的好處。

  • The deep recommendation systems, the natural language understanding breakthroughs, the conversational AI breakthroughs, all happened in this last year.

    深度推薦系統、自然語言理解的突破、對話式人工智能的突破,都發生在去年。

  • And the velocity by which the industry captured the benefits here and continue to evolve and advance from these what so-called transformer models was really quite incredible.

    行業從這些所謂的變壓器模型中獲得收益並繼續發展和進步的速度確實令人難以置信。

  • And so all of a sudden, the number of breakthroughs in AI has just grown tremendously, and these models have grown tremendously.

    就這樣突然之間,人工智能的突破數量急劇增加,這些模型也急劇增長。

  • Just this last week, Microsoft announced that they've trained a neural net model in collaboration with work that we did, we call Megatron, increased the size of a model from 7.5 billion parameters to 17.5 billion parameters.

    就在上週,微軟宣布他們已經與我們所做的工作合作訓練了一個神經網絡模型,我們稱之為 Megatron,將模型的大小從 75 億個參數增加到 175 億個參數。

  • And the accuracy of their natural language understanding has just -- has really been boosted.

    他們對自然語言理解的準確性剛剛——確實得到了提升。

  • And so the models are -- AI is finding really fantastic breakthroughs, and models are getting bigger and there are more of them.

    模型就是這樣——人工智能正在尋找真正奇妙的突破,模型變得越來越大,數量也越來越多。

  • And when you look back and look at when these breakthroughs happened, it essentially happened this last year.

    當你回顧這些突破發生的時間時,它基本上發生在去年。

  • The second, we've been working on inference for some time.

    第二,我們一直在研究推理。

  • And until this last year, very few of those inference models went into production.

    直到去年,這些推理模型中很少有投入生產。

  • And now we have deep learning models across all of the hyperscalers in production.

    現在,我們在生產中的所有超大規模計算機上都有深度學習模型。

  • And this last year, we saw really great growth in inference.

    去年,我們在推理方面看到了巨大的增長。

  • The third dynamic is public clouds.

    第三個動力是公共雲。

  • All these AI startups that are being started all over the world, there's about 6,000 of them, they're starting to develop and be able to put their models into production.

    所有這些 AI 初創公司都在世界各地興起,大約有 6,000 家,他們開始開發並能夠將他們的模型投入生產。

  • And with the scale out of AWS, we now have T4s in every single geography.

    隨著 AWS 的擴展,我們現在在每個地理區域都有 T4。

  • So the combination of the availability of our GPUs in the cloud, and the startups and vertical industries deploying their AI models into production, the combination of all that just kind of came together.

    因此,我們在雲中的 GPU 的可用性以及初創公司和垂直行業將其 AI 模型部署到生產中的組合,所有這些結合在一起。

  • And all of that happened this last year.

    而這一切都發生在去年。

  • And as a result, we had record sales of V100s and T4s.

    結果,我們創下了 V100 和 T4 的銷售記錄。

  • And so we're quite excited with the developments, and it's all really powered by AI.

    所以我們對這些發展感到非常興奮,這一切都是由人工智能驅動的。

    是的。

  • Aaron, I believe that every query on the Internet will be accelerated someday.

    Aaron,我相信互聯網上的每一個查詢總有一天會被加速。

  • And at the very core of it, most -- almost all queries will have some natural language understanding component to it.

    在它的核心,大多數——幾乎所有的查詢都會有一些自然語言理解組件。

  • Almost all queries will have to sort through and make a recommendation from the trillions of possibilities, filter it down and recommend a handful of recommended answers to your queries.

    幾乎所有的查詢都必須從數以萬億計的可能性中進行排序並提出建議,將其過濾並為您的查詢推荐一些推薦的答案。

  • Whether it's shopping or movies or just asking locations or even asking a question, the number of the possibilities of all the answers versus what is best answer is -- needs to be filtered down.

    無論是購物還是看電影,或者只是詢問地點,甚至是問一個問題,所有答案的可能性數量與最佳答案之間的關係 - 都需要被過濾掉。

  • And that filtering process is called recommendation.

    這個過濾過程稱為推薦。

  • That recommendation system is really complex, and deep learning is going to be involved in all that.

    推薦系統真的很複雜,深度學習將涉及所有這些。

  • That's the first thing.

    這是第一件事。

  • I believe that every query will be accelerated.

    相信每次查詢都會加速。

  • The second is, as you know, CPU scaling has really slowed, and there's just no two ways about it.

    第二個是,如您所知,CPU 擴展速度確實變慢了,而且沒有兩種方法可以解決。

  • It's not a marketing thing.

    這不是營銷的事情。

  • It's a physics thing.

    這是一個物理問題。

  • And the ability for CPUs to continue to scale without increasing cost or increasing power has ended.

    CPU 在不增加成本或增加功率的情況下繼續擴展的能力已經結束。

  • And it's called the end of Dennard scaling.

    這被稱為登納德縮放的終結。

  • And so there has to be another approach.

    所以必須有另一種方法。

  • The combination of the emergence of deep learning and the use of artificial intelligence and the amount of computation that's necessary to -- for every single query but the benefit that comes along with that, and the end of Dennard scaling, suggests that there needs to be another approach, and we believe that approach is acceleration.

    深度學習的出現和人工智能的使用以及計算量的結合——對於每一個查詢,但隨之而來的好處,以及登納德縮放的結束,表明需要另一種方法,我們認為這種方法是加速。

  • Now our approach for acceleration is fundamentally different than an accelerator.

    現在我們的加速方法與加速器根本不同。

  • Notice, we never say accelerator, we say accelerated computing.

    注意,我們從來不說加速器,我們說的是加速計算。

  • And the reason for that is because we believe that a software-defined data center will have all kinds of different AIs.

    其原因是因為我們相信軟件定義的數據中心將擁有各種不同的人工智能。

  • The AIs will continue to evolve, the models will continue to evolve and get larger, and a software-defined data center needs to be programmable.

    人工智能將繼續發展,模型將繼續發展並變得更大,軟件定義的數據中心需要可編程。

  • It is one of the reasons why we've been so successful.

    這也是我們如此成功的原因之一。

  • And if you go back and think about all the questions that have been asked of me over the last 3 or 4 years around this area, the consistency of the answer has to do with the programmability of architecture, the richness of the software, the difficulties of the compilers, the ever-growing size of the models, the diversity of the models and the advances that these models are creating.

    如果你回過頭來想想過去 3 或 4 年來我圍繞這個領域提出的所有問題,答案的一致性與架構的可編程性、軟件的豐富性、困難度有關編譯器的數量、模型的不斷增長的規模、模型的多樣性以及這些模型正在創造的進步。

  • And so we're seeing the beginning of a new computing era.

    因此,我們看到了一個新的計算時代的開始。

  • And a fixed function accelerator is simply not the right answer.

    固定功能的加速器根本不是正確的答案。

  • And so we believe that the future is going to be accelerated.

    所以我們相信未來將會加速。

  • It's going to require an accelerated computing platform, and software richness is really vital, so that these data centers could be software defined.

    這將需要一個加速的計算平台,而軟件的豐富性真的很重要,這樣這些數據中心就可以由軟件定義。

  • And so I think that we're in the early innings, the early innings, very, very early innings of this new future.

    所以我認為我們正處於這個新未來的早期階段,早期階段,非常非常早期階段。

  • And I think that accelerated computing is going to become more and more important.

    中國約佔全球遊戲市場的 1/3,向雲過渡將是一個長期的旅程。

  • And the reason for that is because Internet connection is not consistent throughout the entire market.

    原因是整個市場的互聯網連接並不一致。

  • And a lot of application still needs to be onboarded, and we're working very closely with them.

    許多應用程序仍然需要加入,我們正在與他們密切合作。

  • We're super enthusiastic about it.

    我們對此非常熱情。

  • If we're successful long term, and we're talking about an extra 1 billion gamers that we might be able to reach.

    如果我們長期取得成功,並且我們正在談論我們可能能夠接觸到的額外 10 億遊戲玩家。

  • And so I think that this is an exciting opportunity, just a long-term journey.

    所以我認為這是一個令人興奮的機會,只是一個長期的旅程。

  • Now here in the West, we've had a lot more opportunity to refine the connections around the world and working through the data centers, the local hubs as well as people's WiFi routers at home.

    現在在西方,我們有更多的機會來完善世界各地的連接,並通過數據中心、本地集線器以及人們在家中的 WiFi 路由器工作。

  • And so we've been in beta for quite some time, as you know.

    如您所知,我們已經進行了相當長一段時間的測試。

  • And here in the West, our platform is open.

    在西方,我們的平台是開放的。

  • And we have several hundred games now and we're in the process of onboarding another 1,500 games.

    我們現在有數百款遊戲,我們正在加入另外 1,500 款遊戲。

  • We're the only cloud platform that's based on Windows and allows us to be able to bring PC games to the cloud.

    我們是唯一基於 Windows 的雲平台,讓我們能夠將 PC 遊戲帶到雲端。

  • And so the reach is -- we've had more experience here in the West with reach, and we've had -- we obviously have a lot more games that we can onboard.

    所以範圍是——我們在西部有更多的經驗,我們已經擁有——我們顯然有更多的遊戲可以加入。

  • But I'm super enthusiastic about the partnership we have with Tencent.

    但我對我們與騰訊的合作非常感興趣。

  • Overall, our GeForce NOW -- you guys saw the launch, it's -- the reception has been fantastic, the reviews have been fantastic.

    總體而言,我們的 GeForce NOW ——你們看到了發布,它是——接收非常好,評論非常好。

  • Our strategy has 3 components.

    我們的策略有 3 個組成部分。

  • There's the GeForce NOW service that we provide ourselves.

  • We also have GeForce NOW alliances with telcos around the world to reach the regions around the world that we don't have a presence in.

    我們還與世界各地的電信公司建立了 GeForce NOW 聯盟,以覆蓋我們未涉足的世界各地。

  • And that is going super well, and I'm excited about that.

    而且進展非常順利,我對此感到很興奮。

  • And then lastly, partnerships with large publishers, for example, like Tencent.

    最後,與大型發行商合作,例如騰訊。

  • And we offer them our platform, of course, and a great deal of software and just a lot of engineering that has to be done in collaboration to refine the service.

  • So C.J., I'm going to go first, and then Colette is going take it home here.

    所以 C.J.,我要先走,然後 Colette 會把它帶回家。

  • So the first part of it is this, our gaming business has at the end -- I'm sorry.

    所以它的第一部分是,我們的遊戲業務已經結束了——我很抱歉。

  • Okay.

    好的。

  • Our gaming business, the end market demand is really terrific.

    我們的遊戲業務,終端市場的需求真的很棒。

  • It's really healthy.

    它真的很健康。

  • It's been healthy throughout the whole year.

    一整年都很健康。

  • And it's pretty clear that RTX is doing fantastic.

    很明顯,RTX 的表現非常出色。

  • And it's very -- it's super clear now that ray tracing is the most important new feature of next-generation graphics.

    非常 - 現在非常清楚,光線追踪是下一代圖形最重要的新功能。

  • We have 30 -- over 30 games that have been announced, 11 games or so that have been shipped.

    我們有 30 款——超過 30 款遊戲已經發布,大約 11 款遊戲已經發貨。

  • The pipeline of ray tracing games that are going to be coming out is just really, really exciting.

    即將推出的光線追踪遊戲管道真的非常非常令人興奮。

  • The second factor -- and one more thing about RTX, we finally have taken RTX down to $299.

    第二個因素——以及關於 RTX 的另一件事,我們最終將 RTX 降至 299 美元。

  • So it's now at the sweet spot of gaming.

    所以它現在處於遊戲的最佳位置。

  • And so RTX is doing fantastic.

    因此,RTX 表現出色。

  • The sell-through is fantastic all over the world.

    全世界的銷售都很棒。

  • The second part of our business that is changing in gaming is this -- the amount of notebook sales and the success of Nintendo Switch has really changed the profile of our overall gaming business.

    我們在遊戲業務中發生變化的第二部分是——筆記本電腦的銷量和 Nintendo Switch 的成功確實改變了我們整體遊戲業務的形象。

  • Our notebook business, as Colette mentioned earlier, has seen double-digit growth for 8 consecutive quarters, and this is unquestionably a new gaming category.

    我們的筆記本業務,正如 Colette 之前提到的,連續 8 個季度實現兩位數的增長,這無疑是一個新的遊戲品類。

  • Like it's a new game console.

    就像它是一個新的遊戲機。

  • This is going to be the largest game console in the world, I believe.

    我相信這將是世界上最大的遊戲機。

  • And the reason for that is because there are more people with laptops than there are of any other device.

    原因是使用筆記本電腦的人比使用任何其他設備的人都多。

  • And so the fact that we've been able to get RTX into a thin and light notebook, a thin and light notebook, is really a breakthrough.

    因此,我們能夠將 RTX 融入輕薄筆記本電腦,輕薄筆記本電腦這一事實確實是一個突破。

  • And it's one of the reasons why we're seeing such great success in notebook.

    這也是我們在筆記本電腦中看到如此巨大成功的原因之一。

  • Between the notebook business and our Nintendo Switch business, the profile of gaming overall has changed and has become more seasonal.

    在筆記本業務和我們的 Nintendo Switch 業務之間,遊戲的整體形象發生了變化,並且變得更具季節性。

  • It's more seasonal because devices, systems, like notebooks and Switch, are built largely in 2 quarters, Q2 and Q3.

    它更具季節性,因為筆記本電腦和 Switch 等設備和系統主要在第二季度和第三季度兩個季度構建。

  • And they build it largely in Q2 and Q3 because it takes a while to build them and ship them and put them into the hubs around the world.

    他們主要在第二季度和第三季度建造它,因為建造它們並運送它們並將它們放入世界各地的樞紐需要一段時間。

  • And they tend to build it ahead of the holiday season.

    他們傾向於在假期之前建造它。

  • And so that's one of the reasons why Q3 will tend to be larger and Q4 will tend to be more seasonal and Q1 will tend to be more seasonal than the past.

    這就是為什麼第三季度往往會更大,第四季度往往更具季節性,而第一季度往往比過去更具季節性的原因之一。

  • But the end demand is fantastic.

    但最終需求是驚人的。

  • RTX is doing great.

    RTX 做得很好。

  • And part of it is just a result of the success of our notebooks.

    其中一部分只是我們筆記本電腦成功的結果。

  • I'm going to hand it over to Colette.

    我要把它交給科萊特。

  • Colette M. Kress - Executive VP & CFO

    Colette M. Kress - Executive VP & CFO

  • Yes.

    是的。

  • So with that from a background and you think about all those different components that are within gaming, the notebook, the overall Switch, and of course, all of the ray tracing that we have in terms of desktop, our normal seasonality, as we look at Q1 for gaming with all those 3 pieces, is usually sequentially down from Q4, sequentially down Q4 to Q1.

    因此,從背景出發,您會考慮遊戲、筆記本電腦、整個 Switch 中的所有不同組件,當然還有我們在台式機方面擁有的所有光線追踪,我們的正常季節性,正如我們所看到的在第一季度,對於所有這 3 件的遊戲,通常從第四季度依次下降,從第四季度到第一季度依次下降。

  • This year, the outlook assumes it will probably be a little bit more pronounced due to the coronavirus.

    今年,前景假設由于冠狀病毒,它可能會更加明顯。

  • So in total, we're probably looking at Q1 to be in the low double-digit sequential decline in gaming.

    因此,總的來說,我們可能認為第一季度遊戲行業將處於兩位數的低位連續下降中。

    從歷史上看,在過去 1.5 年左右的時間裡,NVIDIA 基本上佔據了所有的訓練市場,而幾乎沒有推理市場。

  • I think that's changed where you've done much better in inference.

    我認為你在推理方面做得更好的地方已經改變了。

  • Now you have the T4 in the cloud, you have EGX at the edge.

    現在您在雲端擁有 T4,在邊緣擁有 EGX。

  • Thanks a lot, Will.

    非常感謝,威爾。

  • Let's see, I think the -- historically, inference has been a small part of our business because AI was still being developed.

    讓我們看看,我認為——從歷史上看,推理一直是我們業務的一小部分,因為人工智能仍在開發中。

  • Deep learning, AI is not -- historical AI, classical machine learning weren't particularly suited for GPUs and weren't particularly suited for acceleration.

    深度學習,人工智能不是——歷史人工智能,經典機器學習並不特別適合 GPU,也不特別適合加速。

  • It wasn't until deep learning came along that the amount of computation necessary is just extraordinary.

    直到深度學習出現時,所需的計算量才非常驚人。

  • And the second factor is the type of AI models that were developed.

    第二個因素是開發的人工智能模型的類型。

  • Eventually, if -- the type of models related to natural language understanding and conversational AI and recommendation systems, these require instantaneous response.

    最終,如果——與自然語言理解、對話式人工智能和推薦系統相關的模型類型,這些都需要即時響應。

  • The faster the answer, the more likely someone is going to click on the answer.

    答案越快,有人點擊答案的可能性就越大。

  • And so you know that latency matters a great deal, and it's measurable.

    所以你知道延遲很重要,而且它是可以測量的。

  • The effect on the business is directly measurable.

    對業務的影響是可以直接衡量的。

  • And so for conversational AI, for example, we've been able to reduce the latency of the entire pipeline from speech recognition to the language processing to, for example, fix the errors and such, come up with a recommendation to text to speech to the voice synthesis.

    例如,對於對話式人工智能,我們已經能夠減少從語音識別到語言處理的整個管道的延遲,例如,修復錯誤等,提出從文本到語音的建議語音合成。

  • That entire pipeline could take several seconds.

    整個管道可能需要幾秒鐘。

  • We run it so fast that it's possible now for us to process the entire pipeline within a couple of hundred, 200, 300 milliseconds.

    我們運行得如此之快,以至於我們現在可以在幾百、200、300 毫秒內處理整個管道。

  • That is in the realm of interactive conversation.

    那是在交互式對話領域。

  • Beyond that, it's just simply too slow.

    除此之外,它只是太慢了。

  • And so the combination of AI models that are large and complex that are moving to inference, moving to production.

    因此,大而復雜的 AI 模型的組合正在轉向推理,轉向生產。

  • And then secondarily, conversational AI and latency-sensitive models and applications where our GPUs are essential, now moving forward, I think you're going to see a lot more opportunities for us in inference.

    其次,我們的 GPU 必不可少的對話式 AI 和延遲敏感模型和應用程序,現在向前發展,我認為您將在推理方面為我們看到更多機會。

  • The way to think about that long-term is acceleration is essential because of end of Dennard scaling.

    由於 Dennard 縮放的結束,考慮長期的方式是加速是必不可少的。

  • Process technology is going to demand that we compute in a different way.

    過程技術將要求我們以不同的方式進行計算。

  • And the way that AI has evolved and deep learning, it suggests that acceleration on GPUs is just a really phenomenal approach.

    人工智能的發展和深度學習的方式表明,GPU 上的加速只是一種非常了不起的方法。

  • Data centers are going to have to be software-defined.

    數據中心必須是軟件定義的。

  • And I think as I mentioned, I think I mentioned earlier to another question, I believe that in the future, the data center will all be accelerated.

    而且我認為正如我所提到的,我想我之前提到過另一個問題,我相信在未來,數據中心將全部加速。

  • It will be all running AI models, and it will be software-defined and it will be programmable and having an accelerated computing platform is essential.

    它將全部運行人工智能模型,它將是軟件定義的,並且是可編程的,並且擁有一個加速的計算平台是必不可少的。

  • As you move out to the edge, it really depends on whether your platform is software-defined, whether it has to be programmable or whether it's fix functioned.

    當您移動到邊緣時,這實際上取決於您的平台是否是軟件定義的,它是否必須是可編程的,或者它是否具有修復功能。

  • There are many, many devices where the inference work is very specific.

    有很多很多設備的推理工作非常具體。

  • It could be something as simple as detecting changes in temperature or changes in sound or detecting motion.

    它可以像檢測溫度變化或聲音變化或檢測運動一樣簡單。

  • Those type of inference models are -- could still be based on deep learning.

    那些類型的推理模型——仍然可以基於深度學習。

  • It's function-specific.

    它是特定於功能的。

  • You don't have to change it very often and you're running 1 or 2 models at any given point in time.

    您不必經常更改它,並且您可以在任何給定時間點運行 1 或 2 個模型。

  • And so those devices are going to be incredibly cost-effective.

    因此,這些設備將具有難以置信的成本效益。

  • I believe, those AI chips, you're going to have AI chips that are $0.50, $1, and you're just going to put it into something and it's going to be doing magical detections.

    我相信,那些 AI 芯片,你將擁有 0.50 美元、1 美元的 AI 芯片,你只需將其放入某些東西中,它就會進行神奇的檢測。

  • The type of platforms that we're in, such as self-driving cars and robotics, the software is so complicated and there's so much evolution to come yet, and it's going to constantly get better.

    我們所處的平台類型,例如自動駕駛汽車和機器人技術,軟件非常複雜,未來還有很多發展,而且會不斷變得更好。

  • Those software-defined platforms are really the ideal targets for us.

    那些軟件定義的平台確實是我們的理想目標。

  • And so we call it AI at the edge, edge computing devices.

    所以我們稱之為邊緣人工智能,邊緣計算設備。

  • One of the edge computing devices I'm very excited about is what people call mobile edge or basically 5G telco edge.

    我非常興奮的邊緣計算設備之一是人們所說的移動邊緣或基本上是 5G 電信邊緣。

  • That data center will be programmable.

    該數據中心將是可編程的。

  • We recently announced that we partnered with Ericsson and we're going to be accelerating the 5G stack.

    我們最近宣布與愛立信合作,我們將加速 5G 堆棧。

  • And so that needs to be a software-defined data center.

    所以這需要一個軟件定義的數據中心。

  • It runs all kinds of applications, including 5G.

    它運行各種應用程序,包括 5G。

    我們公司必須領先市場10年。

  • And so we have to imagine where the world is going to be in 10 years' time, in 5 years' time and work our way backwards.

    所以我們必須想像 10 年後、5 年後的世界會變成什麼樣子,然後往回走。

  • Now our company is focused on one singular thing.

    當然,加速計算與架構有關。

  • It's about the complicated systems that we're in because throughput is high.

    這是關於我們所處的複雜系統,因為吞吐量很高。

  • When our acceleration, we can -- when we can compute 10x, 20x, 50x, 100x faster than the CPU, all of a sudden, everything becomes a bottleneck.

    當我們加速時,我們可以——當我們的計算速度比 CPU 快 10 倍、20 倍、50 倍、100 倍時,突然之間,一切都變成了瓶頸。

  • Memory's a bottleneck, networking's a bottleneck, storage is a bottleneck, everything is a bottleneck.

    內存是瓶頸,網絡是瓶頸,存儲是瓶頸,一切都是瓶頸。

  • And so we have to be -- NVIDIA has to be a supremely good system designer.

    所以我們必須——英偉達必須是一個非常優秀的系統設計師。

  • But the complexity of our stack, which is the software stack above it, is really where the investments over the course of the last -- some 29 years now, has really paid off.

    但是我們堆棧的複雜性,也就是它上面的軟件堆棧,實際上是過去 29 年的投資真正得到回報的地方。

  • NVIDIA, frankly, has been an accelerated computing company since the day it was born.

    坦率地說,NVIDIA 從誕生之日起就是一家加速計算公司。

  • And so we -- our company is constantly trying to expand the number of applications that we can accelerate.

    所以我們——我們的公司一直在努力擴大我們可以加速的應用程序的數量。

  • Of course, computer graphics was an original one, and we're reinventing it with real-time ray tracing.

    當然,計算機圖形學是原創的,我們正在通過實時光線追踪對其進行改造。

  • We have rendering, which is a brand-new application that we're making great progress in.

    我們有渲染,這是一個我們正在取得很大進展的全新應用程序。

  • We just talked -- I just mentioned 5G acceleration.

    我們剛剛談過——我剛剛提到了 5G 加速。

  • Recently, we announced genomics computing.

    最近,我們宣布了基因組學計算。

  • And so those are new applications that are really important to the future of computing.

    因此,這些都是對計算的未來非常重要的新應用程序。

  • In the area of artificial intelligence, from image recognition to natural language understanding, to conversation, to recommendation systems, to robotics and animation, the number of applications that we're going to accelerate in the field of AI is really, really broad.

    在人工智能領域,從圖像識別到自然語言理解、對話、推薦系統、機器人和動畫,我們將在人工智能領域加速的應用數量非常非常廣泛。

  • And each one of them are making tremendous progress and getting more and more complex.

    他們每個人都在取得巨大的進步,並且變得越來越複雜。

  • And so the question about the sustainability of our company really comes down to 2 dimensions.

    因此,關於我們公司可持續性的問題實際上歸結為兩個方面。

  • Let's assume for the fact -- let's assume for now that accelerated computing is the path forward, and we surely believe so.

    讓我們假設事實——讓我們現在假設加速計算是前進的道路,我們當然相信這一點。

  • And there's a lot of evidence from the laws of physics to the laws of computer science that would suggest that accelerated computing is the right path forward.

    從物理定律到計算機科學定律,有大量證據表明加速計算是正確的前進道路。

  • But this really basically comes down to 2 dimensions.

    但這實際上基本上歸結為二維。

  • One dimension is are we continuing to expand?

    一個維度是我們是否在繼續擴張?

  • Are we continuing to expand the number of applications that we can accelerate?

    我們是否繼續擴大我們可以加速的應用程序的數量?

  • Whether it's AI or computer graphics or genomics or 5G, for example.

    例如,無論是人工智能、計算機圖形學、基因組學還是 5G。

  • And then the number -- and then the second is those applications, are they getting more impactful and adopted by the ecosystem, the industry?

    然後是數字——第二個是那些應用程序,它們是否變得更具影響力並被生態系統、行業所採用?

  • And are they continuing to be more complex?

    它們是否繼續變得更加複雜?

  • Those dimensions, the number of applications and the rich -- and the impact of those applications and the evolution, the growth of complexity of those applications, if those dynamics continue to grow, then I think we're going to do a good job.

    那些維度,應用程序的數量和豐富——以及這些應用程序的影響和演變,這些應用程序的複雜性的增長,如果這些動態繼續增長,那麼我認為我們會做得很好。

  • We're going to sustain.

    我們要堅持下去。

  • And so -- and I think when I spelled it out that way, it's basically the equation of growth of our company.

    所以 - 我認為當我這樣拼寫時,它基本上是我們公司的增長方程。
