NVIDIA CEO Gives Away First Tesla V100 Accelerators to Top AI Researchers

[btarunr]

NVIDIA CEO over the weekend, held a special event recognizing the efforts of some of the world's foremost AI researchers, and gifted each one of them the first production Tesla V100 GPU compute accelerators. Based on the company's latest "Volta" GPU architecture, the V100 features special "tensor cores," components that speed up deep-learning neural net training, which should have a significant impact on AI research as it cuts down hours or even days of neural net training in a typical project.

At the NVAIL (NVIDIA AI Labs) meetup hosted by NVIDIA, CEO Jen Hsun Huang stressed on the importance of supporting AI research. "AI is the most powerful technology force that we have ever known," said Jen Hsun, "I've seen everything. I've seen the coming and going of the client-server revolution. I've seen the coming and going of the PC revolution. Absolutely nothing compares," he said.

This beast is so powerfull, it's ltterally popping out of the box

But this batch seems rather uneven, this guy has no difficulty to withstand the raw power of the v100

Add coils whine to this, and you will get the first ever AI whining

Well, there are just 2 options now. They'll either play Crysis on this or create the most sophisticated Ai that will turn into a Jew hating Nazi, spewing Hitler quotes all day long. It's how every Ai project has turned out so far XD

Not sure what kind of A.I. and for what purpose, but if the end goal of humanity is to create the first self-aware A.I. than I'm all in. The human brain already reached it's limitations, so with the A.I. revolution, we might finally move forward with Space travel and advanced researched.
