NVIDIA Corporation

NVIDIA Corporation designs GPUs and accelerated computing platforms and is the world leader in accelerated computing. Founded in 1993 by three computer scientists, the company began with gaming and multimedia graphics chips, bringing 3D graphics to those markets on the premise that interactive 3D graphics would become central to future computing. Its engineering work now spans GPU architecture, parallel computing, artificial intelligence, high-performance computing, autonomous vehicles, robotics, healthcare computing, scientific research and real-time data processing. The GPU, invented by NVIDIA in 1999, is a specialised processor that handles complex mathematical calculations in parallel. It helped drive the growth of the PC gaming market and underpins the modern era of artificial intelligence. The company's platforms are applied across gaming, multimedia, AI, high-performance computing, autonomous vehicles, robotics, healthcare and scientific research, with a stated focus on turning large volumes of data into actionable insights and real-time experiences. NVIDIA describes its culture as mission-driven, oriented toward problems that have not been solved elsewhere. The company's work sits at the intersection of hardware architecture and software systems, covering areas from 3D graphics and parallel computing to autonomous systems and scientific workloads.
