Since its founding in 1993, NVIDIA Corporation has evolved from developing graphics processing units (GPUs) for gaming into a broad technology company with a diverse product portfolio in parallel computing, AI, and data center technology. NVIDIA has pivoted strongly towards AI, leveraging its GPU technology for deep learning and AI workloads. The company’s CUDA programming model and GPUs are widely used in data centers for AI research and cloud computing and by enterprises for AI training and inference tasks.

NVIDIA has expanded its offerings beyond hardware and its proprietary CUDA development environment to include AI with deep learning libraries (as in cuDNN), AI software platforms (like NVIDIA AI Enterprise), and development platforms for industrial digitalization and generative physical AI (like Omniverse). These software offerings enhance the value of NVIDIA hardware by enabling developers to build and deploy applications on the NVIDIA computing platform efficiently.
