[OSList] Collaboration on Steriods - Nvidia - from Ark-Disrupt

Tue Nov 23 04:40:03 PST 2021

We might as well prepare for the future because that's where we will spend
the rest of our lives...  Just wait until the new world of hundreds
millions of digital avatars meets Open Space Technology.  Check this out

Nvidia’s full blown strategy in artificial intelligence (AI). Known for its
accelerated computing hardware - primarily GPUs and high-performance
networking equipment - Nvidia highlighted advances in its software stack
that will leverage its hardware and integrate cutting-edge AI into its
products and services.

Nvidia focused most of the keynote on its Omniverse product. Targeting an
audience of 40 million 3D designers

Omniverse is a collaboration tool for building virtual worlds. Like
Google’s Workspace collaboration suite for editing documents, Omniverse
enables designers not only to collaborate on virtual scene designs in real
time but also to share virtual assets seamlessly across platforms like
Adobe, Autodesk, Unity, and Unreal Engine.

These virtual worlds can be “digital twins”, replicas of physical spaces,
either game-like or photo-realistic. Omniverse also offers designers the
ability to simulate while prototyping and optimizing environments ranging
from smart factories to 5G deployments. Among the early adopters are BMW
and Ericsson.

Perhaps the most provocative announcement at the event was Omniverse Avatars

Avatars’ toolkit includes pre-trained AI models for creating digital agents
that enable autonomous conversational AIs for customer service,
communications, gaming, and robotics, among other use cases. On its

Nvidia announced that these digital robots will cost $1000 per avatar per
year in a world potentially with hundreds of millions of digital avatars
operating alongside humans. Notably, these avatars will be stimulating
sales of Nvidia’s hardware stack as well.

Nvidia also disclosed research breakthroughs in scientific computing, the
type of computationally intensive modeling and simulation that predicts
weather patterns and analyzes protein structures. Relative to existing
methods, Nvidia’s speeds up

process 1000x by training neural networks to predict the outcome of complex
physics equations. Nvidia believes these advances illustrate the
exponential potential of neural networks to accelerate nearly every type of
computing workload.
