Lead System Software Engineer, CPU and GPU Performance Visualization Tools

ABOUT NVIDIA

NVIDIA is a global leader in accelerated computing. It designs graphics processing units (GPUs) and chip units for mobile computing, automotive, gaming, and professional markets.

NVIDIA’s invention of the GPU in 1999 sparked the growth of the PC gaming market, redefined modern computer graphics, and revolutionized parallel computing. More recently, GPU deep learning ignited modern AI — the next era of computing — with the GPU acting as the brain of computers, robots, and self-driving cars that can perceive and understand the world.
