Nvidia was founded on 5th April 1993 by the Taiwanese-American electrical engineer Jensen Huang, who was the previous director of CoreWare at LSI Logic and microprocessor designer at AMD. On this year 26th July, he was designated a top 35 legend by HPCWire due to his visionary management and pioneering elevations in accelerated computing.
Last week's edition of SIGGRAPH 2024, brought on stage the two CEOs of Meta and Nvidia. Jensen Huang and Mark Zuckerberg were involved in a spirited debate about the
