TX2, NVIDIA GRID, DGX-1 AI Supercomputer
TAIPEI, Taiwan—Computex—May 29, 2017— NVIDIA today clinched four prestigious awards at
Computex, extending its record winning streak at Asia’s largest technology tradeshow to nine
years.
NVIDIA SHIELD TV™ won Computex’s top
design and innovation award. And Best
Choice Awards were won by NVIDIA
Jetson™ TX2 AI supercomputer on a
module, NVIDIA GRID™ 4.0 graphics
virtualisation platform and NVIDIA DGX-
1™ AI supercomputer.
“NVIDIA is honoured to have captured
these four awards across such a wide
range of industries,” said Raymond Teh, vice president of Asia-Pacific Sales and Marketing at
NVIDIA. “The wins show the spread of our innovative technologies in meeting the needs of
consumers and enterprises, from the data centre to the edge.”
SHIELD took the honours in the “game devices + content of games” category of the Computex
d&I award – the first such win for NVIDIA. A panel of judges composed of top global industrial
designers assessed all submissions based on innovation and elaboration, functionality,
aesthetics, responsibility, and positioning.
The world’s most advanced media streamer, SHIELD delivers the fastest, smoothest 4K HDR
video and best-in-class gaming. Built-in Google Voice Search lets users control every experience
with their voice.
Jetson TX2 won in the intelligent system and solution category, building on the success of its
predecessor, the Jetson TX1, which won a Computex Best Choice Award last year. The Jetson
TX2 is the world’s leading platform for AI computing at the edge. Its high-performance, powerefficient
computing for deep learning and computer vision makes it ideal for AI city applications,
robots, drones and other intelligent machines.
NVIDIA GRID 4.0 won in the cloud computing category. NVIDIA GRID is the industry’s most
advanced technology for sharing virtual GPUs across multiple virtual desktop and application
instances. NVIDIA GRID’s monitoring capabilities drive GPU-powered analytics to help measure,
manage and support graphics virtualisation environments.
NVIDIA DGX-1, the essential instrument of AI research, won in the computer and system
category. The Best Choice Award went to the DGX-1 built on NVIDIA Tesla® P100 GPU
accelerators, designed to meet the computing demands of AI. Earlier this month, NVIDIA
announced its successor, which uses Tesla V100 GPU accelerators built with the Volta GPU
architecture. Available later this year, the new DGX-1 offers 3x faster deep learning training
performance than its predecessor.
