The first GPUs were designed to improve the performance of video games, providing smoother graphics and enabling more complex visual effects. Over time, as the demands of gaming and other graphic-intensive applications grew, GPUs evolved to handle more sophisticated rendering tasks, such as shading, lighting, texture mapping, and anti-aliasing. From video games to automation, GPUs have been having massive developments which are causing them to be utilized in a lot more than videogames. Nvidia GPUs are a game-changer for automation. By providing the processing power for advanced AI algorithms, they are enabling a new generation of intelligent and efficient automated systems across various industries. Nvidia's GPUs (Graphics Processing Units) are a powerful toolset for various automation applications across industries. The most progressive industrial companies in the world are implementing NVIDIA technologies to deploy large-scale AI initiatives. GPU-accelerated computing enables AI at industrial scale, letting to take advantage of unprecedented amounts of sensor and operational data to optimise operations, improve time-to-insight, and reduce costs.
