SAN JOSE Kirk Gibson Womens Jersey , the United States, May 11 (Xinhua) -- Nvidia launched Volta, it's seventh-generation GPU architecture that delivers 5x the performance of its predecessor, this week at the annual GPU Technology Conference, which attracted a record of more than 7,000 scientists Al Kaline Womens Jersey , engineers, entrepreneurs and global press.
"Volta is definitely a game changer, especially in deep learning, but also for general parallel computing work with," Will Ramey, Nvidia director of developer programs Alan Trammell Womens Jersey , told Xinhua on Thursday at the eighth annual GPU Technology Conference (GTC) in San Jose, California.
"It has a new tenser core inside of it to help it accelerate deep learning applications across a wide range of scientific domains and industry segments," Ramey said.
According to the company, the new GPU architecture is built with 21 billion transistors and delivers the equivalent performance of 100 CPUs for deep learning. It provides a 5x improvement over Pascal, the current-generation NVIDIA GPU architecture, in peak teraflops Authentic Victor Martinez Jersey , and 15x over the Maxwell architecture, launched two years ago. This performance surpasses by 4x the improvements that Moore's law would have predicted.
"When we introduce a new GPU architecture, like Volta, it becomes available across our entire product line," Ramey said.
Over the two hours' GTC keynote on Wednesday, Jensen Huang Authentic Miguel Cabrera Jersey , founder and chief executive officer of NVIDIA, introduced a lineup of new Volta-based AI supercomputers including a powerful new version of DGX-1 deep learning appliance. Huang also announced the Isaac robot-training simulator and unveiled the NVIDIA GPU Cloud platform and a partnership with Toyota to help build a new generation of autonomous vehicles.
The company also announced its first Volta-based processor, the NVIDIA Tesla V100 data center GPU, which brings "extraordinary speed and scalability for AI inferencing and training, as well as for accelerating HPC and graphics workloads".
"Artificial intelligence is driving the greatest technology advances in human history," said Huang Authentic Nick Castellanos Jersey , "It will automate intelligence and spur a wave of social progress unmatched since the industrial revolution."

When people discuss back pain, it can often be misconstrued that back pain is confined to older generations (over 60). However, this is not necessarily the case, especially when discussing lower back pain. In fact Authentic Kirk Gibson Jersey , younger individuals (30-60 years of age) are more prone to lower back pain than older individuals.
What causes lower back pain? There are many causes of lower back pain among younger individuals. Each cause has a unique set of symptoms and potential treatment strategies. While some of these conditions may require surgery, in general there are non-invasive treatment options to help alleviate lower back pain. Here is a list of various conditions - and there symptoms - that can trigger lower back pain in younger people. • Back muscle strain –A muscle strain can be extremely painful. It is generally caused by a sudden twisting or jerking movement, or when lifting a heavy object using the back instead of the legs. The symptoms are a sudden sharp or aching pain in the lower back starting immediately after the activity. Mobility is limited with a strain. • Sciatica – Sciatica is a cause of lower back pain that is often overlooked among younger people. Many do not understand exactly what sciatica is. Sciatica is a condition caused by the sciatic nerve in the lower back becoming compressed. The symptoms of sciatica include pain and numbness along the sciatic nerve – which runs from the lower back down both legs and into the buttocks. Sciatica is often caused by a herniated disc in the back. • Degenerative Disc Disease – Surprisingly, this condition can be found in people as young as 20 years old. This condition occurs when the discs between the vertebrae break down. While it is fairly common and treatable, it can cause back spasms, sharp lower back pain and sciatica. • Isthmic Spondylolisthesis – Most people know this cause of lower back pain as a slipped disc. Slipped discs can drastically decrease mobility and instability Authentic Al Kaline Jersey , especially in certain positions. The symptoms of Isthmic Spondylolisthesisare a deep ache in the lower back that tends to increase in severity when the person is standing or walking. Strangely enough, slipped discs are caused by a fracture in the vertebrae during childhood. People often go years before the discomfort starts to increase and cause the deep lower back pain. • Sacroiliac Joint Disease – The sacroiliac joint connects the base of the spine to the two hip bones. If this joint is too loose or too tight, sacroiliac joint disease can occur. This lower back pain tends to be most painful when sitting, but will improve if the person is reclining or lying down flat. With sacroiliac joint disease, the discomfort is not confined to lower back pain, but can be present in the hips Authentic Alan Trammell Jersey , groin and thighs as well.
