>>Well, welcome back to the cubes coverage of AWS reinvent 2021. We're here joined by Ian buck, general manager and vice president of accelerated computing at Nvidia I'm. John Ford, your host of the QB. And thanks for coming on. So in video, obviously, great brand congratulates on all your continued success. Everyone who has does anything in graphics knows the GPU's are hot and you guys get great brand great success in the company, but AI and machine learning was seeing the trend significantly being powered by the GPU's and other systems. So it's a key part of everything. So what's the trends that you're seeing, uh, in ML and AI, that's accelerating computing to the cloud. Yeah, >>I mean, AI is kind of drape bragging breakthroughs innovations across so many segments, so many different use cases. We see it showing up with things like credit card, fraud prevention and product and content recommendations. Really it's the new engine behind search engines is AI. Uh, people are applying AI to things like, um, meeting transcriptions, uh, virtual calls like this using AI to actually capture what was said. Um, and that gets applied in person to person interactions. We also see it in intelligence systems assistance for a contact center, automation or chat bots, uh, medical imaging, um, and intelligence stores and warehouses and everywhere. It's really, it's really amazing what AI has been demonstrated, what it can do. And, uh, it's new use cases are showing up all the time. >>Yeah. I'd love to get your thoughts on, on how the world's evolved just in the past few years, along with cloud, and certainly the pandemics proven it. You had this whole kind of full stack mindset initially, and now you're seeing more of a horizontal scale, but yet enabling this vertical specialization in applications. I mean, you mentioned some of those apps, the new enablers, this kind of the horizontal play with enablement for specialization, with data, this is a huge shift that's going on. It's been happening. What's your reaction to that? >>Yeah, it's the innovations on two fronts. There's a horizontal front, which is basically the different kinds of neural networks or AIS as well as machine learning techniques that are, um, just being invented by researchers for, uh, and the community at large, including Amazon. Um, you know, it started with these convolutional neural networks, which are great for image processing, but as it expanded more recently into, uh, recurrent neural networks, transformer models, which are great for language and language and understanding, and then the new hot topic graph neural networks, where the actual graph now is trained as a, as a neural network, you have this underpinning of great AI technologies that are being adventure around the world in videos role is try to productize that and provide a platform for people to do that innovation and then take the next step and innovate vertically. Um, take it, take it and apply it to two particular field, um, like medical, like healthcare and medical imaging applying AI, so that radiologists can have an AI assistant with them and highlight different parts of the scan. >>Then maybe troublesome worrying, or requires more investigation, um, using it for robotics, building virtual worlds, where robots can be trained in a virtual environment, their AI being constantly trained, reinforced, and learn how to do certain activities and techniques. So that the first time it's ever downloaded into a real robot, it works right out of the box, um, to do, to activate that we co we are creating different vertical solutions, vertical stacks for products that talk the languages of those businesses, of those users, uh, in medical imaging, it's processing medical data, which is obviously a very complicated large format data, often three-dimensional boxes in robotics. It's building combining both our graphics and simulation technologies, along with the, you know, the AI training capabilities and different capabilities in order to run in real time. Those are, >>Yeah. I mean, it's just so cutting edge. It's so relevant. I mean, I think one of the things you mentioned about the neural networks, specifically, the graph neural networks, I mean, we saw, I mean, just to go back to the late two thousands, you know, how unstructured data or object store created, a lot of people realize that the value out of that now you've got graph graph value, you got graph network effect, you've got all kinds of new patterns. You guys have this notion of graph neural networks. Um, that's, that's, that's out there. What is, what is a graph neural network and what does it actually mean for deep learning and an AI perspective? >>Yeah, we have a graph is exactly what it sounds like. You have points that are connected to each other, that established relationships and the example of amazon.com. You might have buyers, distributors, sellers, um, and all of them are buying or recommending or selling different products. And they're represented in a graph if I buy something from you and from you, I'm connected to those end points and likewise more deeply across a supply chain or warehouse or other buyers and sellers across the network. What's new right now is that those connections now can be treated and trained like a neural network, understanding the relationship. How strong is that connection between that buyer and seller or that distributor and supplier, and then build up a network that figure out and understand patterns across them. For example, what products I may like. Cause I have this connection in my graph, what other products may meet those requirements, or also identifying things like fraud when, when patterns and buying patterns don't match, what a graph neural networks should say would be the typical kind of graph connectivity, the different kind of weights and connections between the two captured by the frequency half I buy things or how I rate them or give them stars as she used cases, uh, this application graph neural networks, which is basically capturing the connections of all things with all people, especially in the world of e-commerce, it's very exciting to a new application, but applying AI to optimizing business, to reducing fraud and letting us, you know, get access to the products that we want, the products that they have, our recommendations be things that, that excited us and want us to buy things >>Great setup for the real conversation that's going on here at re-invent, which is new kinds of workloads are changing. The game. People are refactoring their business with not just replatform, but actually using this to identify value and see cloud scale allows you to have the compute power to, you know, look at a note on an arc and actually code that. It's all, it's all science, all computer science, all at scale. So with that, that brings up the whole AWS relationship. Can you tell us how you're working with AWS before? >>Yeah. 80 of us has been a great partner and one of the first cloud providers to ever provide GPS the cloud, uh, we most more recently we've announced two new instances, uh, the instance, which is based on the RA 10 G GPU, which has it was supports the Nvidia RTX technology or rendering technology, uh, for real-time Ray tracing and graphics and game streaming is their highest performance graphics, enhanced replicate without allows for those high performance graphics applications to be directly hosted in the cloud. And of course runs everything else as well, including our AI has access to our AI technology runs all of our AI stacks. We also announced with AWS, the G 5g instance, this is exciting because it's the first, uh, graviton or ARM-based processor connected to a GPU and successful in the cloud. Um, this makes, uh, the focus here is Android gaming and machine learning and France. And we're excited to see the advancements that Amazon is making and AWS is making with arm and the cloud. And we're glad to be part of that journey. >>Well, congratulations. I remember I was just watching my interview with James Hamilton from AWS 2013 and 2014. He was getting, he was teasing this out, that they're going to build their own, get in there and build their own connections, take that latency down and do other things. This is kind of the harvest of all that. As you start looking at these new new interfaces and the new servers, new technology that you guys are doing, you're enabling applications. What does, what do you see this enabling as this, as this new capability comes out, new speed, more, more performance, but also now it's enabling more capabilities so that new workloads can be realized. What would you say to folks who want to ask that question? >>Well, so first off I think arm is here to stay and you can see the growth and explosion of my arm, uh, led of course, by grab a tiny to be. I spend many others, uh, and by bringing all of NVIDIA's rendering graphics, machine learning and AI technologies to arm, we can help bring that innovation. That arm allows that open innovation because there's an open architecture to the entire ecosystem. Uh, we can help bring it forward, uh, to the state of the art in AI machine learning, the graphics. Um, we all have our software that we released is both supportive, both on x86 and an army equally, um, and including all of our AI stacks. So most notably for inference the deployment of AI models. We have our, the Nvidia Triton inference server. Uh, this is the, our inference serving software where after he was trained to model, he wanted to play it at scale on any CPU or GPU instance, um, for that matter. So we support both CPS and GPS with Triton. Um, it's natively integrated with SageMaker and provides the benefit of all those performance optimizations all the time. Uh, things like, uh, features like dynamic batching. It supports all the different AI frameworks from PI torch to TensorFlow, even a generalized Python code. Um, we're activating how activating the arm ecosystem as well as bringing all those AI new AI use cases and all those different performance levels, uh, with our partnership with AWS and all the different clouds. >>And you got to making it really easy for people to use, use the technology that brings up the next kind of question I want to ask you. I mean, a lot of people are really going in jumping in the big time into this. They're adopting AI. Either they're moving in from prototype to production. There's always some gaps, whether it's knowledge, skills, gaps, or whatever, but people are accelerating into the AI and leaning into it hard. What advancements have is Nvidia made to make it more accessible, um, for people to move faster through the, through the system, through the process? >>Yeah, it's one of the biggest challenges. The other promise of AI, all the publications that are coming all the way research now, how can you make it more accessible or easier to use by more people rather than just being an AI researcher, which is, uh, uh, obviously a very challenging and interesting field, but not one that's directly in the business. Nvidia is trying to write a full stack approach to AI. So as we make, uh, discover or see these AI technologies come available, we produce SDKs to help activate them or connect them with developers around the world. Uh, we have over 150 different STKs at this point, certain industries from gaming to design, to life sciences, to earth scientist. We even have stuff to help simulate quantum computing. Um, and of course all the, all the work we're doing with AI, 5g and robotics. So, uh, we actually just introduced about 65 new updates just this past month on all those SDKs. Uh, some of the newer stuff that's really exciting is the large language models. Uh, people are building some amazing AI. That's capable of understanding the Corpus of like human understanding, these language models that are trained on literally the continent of the internet to provide general purpose or open domain chatbots. So the customer is going to have a new kind of experience with a computer or the cloud. Uh, we're offering large language, uh, those large language models, as well as AI frameworks to help companies take advantage of this new kind of technology. >>You know, each and every time I do an interview with Nvidia or talk about Nvidia my kids and their friends, they first thing they said, you get me a good graphics card. Hey, I want the best thing in their rig. Obviously the gaming market's hot and known for that, but I mean, but there's a huge software team behind Nvidia. This is a well-known your CEO is always talking about on his keynotes, you're in the software business. And then you had, do have hardware. You were integrating with graviton and other things. So, but it's a software practices, software. This is all about software. Could you share kind of more about how Nvidia culture and their cloud culture and specifically around the scale? I mean, you, you hit every, every use case. So what's the software culture there at Nvidia, >>And it is actually a bigger, we have more software people than hardware people, people don't often realize this. Uh, and in fact that it's because of we create, uh, the, the, it just starts with the chip, obviously building great Silicon is necessary to provide that level of innovation, but as it expanded dramatically from then, from there, uh, not just the Silicon and the GPU, but the server designs themselves, we actually do entire server designs ourselves to help build out this infrastructure. We consume it and use it ourselves and build our own supercomputers to use AI, to improve our products. And then all that software that we build on top, we make it available. As I mentioned before, uh, as containers on our, uh, NGC container store container registry, which is accessible for me to bus, um, to connect to those vertical markets, instead of just opening up the hardware and none of the ecosystem in develop on it, they can with a low-level and programmatic stacks that we provide with Kuda. We believe that those vertical stacks are the ways we can help accelerate and advance AI. And that's why we make as well, >>Ram a little software is so much easier. I want to get that plug for, I think it's worth noting that you guys are, are heavy hardcore, especially on the AI side. And it's worth calling out, uh, getting back to the customers who are bridging that gap and getting out there, what are the metrics they should consider as they're deploying AI? What are success metrics? What does success look like? Can you share any insight into what they should be thinking about and looking at how they're doing? >>Yeah. Um, for training, it's all about time to solution. Um, it's not the hardware that that's the cost, it's the opportunity that AI can provide your business and many, and the productivity of those data scientists, which are developing, which are not easy to come by. So, uh, what we hear from customers is they need a fast time to solution to allow people to prototype very quickly, to train a model to convergence, to get into production quickly, and of course, move on to the next or continue to refine it often. So in training is time to solution for inference. It's about our, your ability to deploy at scale. Often people need to have real time requirements. They want to run in a certain amount of latency, a certain amount of time. And typically most companies don't have a single AI model. They have a collection of them. They want, they want to run for a single service or across multiple services. That's where you can aggregate some of your infrastructure leveraging the trading infant server. I mentioned before can actually run multiple models on a single GPU saving costs, optimizing for efficiency yet still meeting the requirements for latency and the real time experience so that your customers have a good, a good interaction with the AI. >>Awesome. Great. Let's get into, uh, the customer examples. You guys have obviously great customers. Can you share some of the use cases, examples with customers, notable customers? >>Yeah. I want one great part about working in videos as a technology company. You see, you get to engage with such amazing customers across many verticals. Uh, some of the ones that are pretty exciting right now, Netflix is using the G4 instances to CLA um, to do a video effects and animation content. And, you know, from anywhere in the world, in the cloud, uh, as a cloud creation content platform, uh, we work in the energy field that Siemens energy is actually using AI combined with, um, uh, simulation to do predictive maintenance on their energy plants, um, and, and, uh, doing preventing or optimizing onsite inspection activities and eliminating downtime, which is saving a lot of money for the engine industry. Uh, we have worked with Oxford university, uh, which is Oxford university actually has over two, over 20 million artifacts and specimens and collections across its gardens and museums and libraries. They're actually using convenient GPS and Amazon to do enhance image recognition, to classify all these things, which would take literally years with, um, uh, going through manually each of these artifacts using AI, we can click and quickly catalog all of them and connect them with their users. Um, great stories across graphics, about cross industries across research that, uh, it's just so exciting to see what people are doing with our technology together with, >>And thank you so much for coming on the cube. I really appreciate Greg, a lot of great content there. We probably going to go another hour, all the great stuff going on in the video, any closing remarks you want to share as we wrap this last minute up >>Now, the, um, really what Nvidia is about as accelerating cloud computing, whether it be AI, machine learning, graphics, or headphones, community simulation, and AWS was one of the first with this in the beginning, and they continue to bring out great instances to help connect, uh, the cloud and accelerated computing with all the different opportunities integrations with with SageMaker really Ks and ECS. Uh, the new instances with G five and G 5g, very excited to see all the work that we're doing together. >>Ian buck, general manager, and vice president of accelerated computing. I mean, how can you not love that title? We want more, more power, more faster, come on. More computing. No, one's going to complain with more computing know, thanks for coming on. Thank you. Appreciate it. I'm John Farrell hosted the cube. You're watching Amazon coverage reinvent 2021. Thanks for watching.

(bright music) >> Well, welcome back to theCUBE's coverage of AWS re:Invent 2021. We're here joined by Ian Buck, general manager and vice president of Accelerated Computing at NVIDIA. I'm John Furrrier, host of theCUBE. Ian, thanks for coming on. >> Oh, thanks for having me. >> So NVIDIA, obviously, great brand. Congratulations on all your continued success. Everyone who does anything in graphics knows that GPU's are hot, and you guys have a great brand, great success in the company. But AI and machine learning, we're seeing the trend significantly being powered by the GPU's and other systems. So it's a key part of everything.

I mean, AI is kind of driving breakthroughs and innovations across so many segments, so many different use cases. We see it showing up with things like credit card fraud prevention, and product and content recommendations. Really, it's the new engine behind search engines, is AI. People are applying AI to things like meeting transcriptions, virtual calls like this, using AI to actually capture what was said. And that gets applied in person-to-person interactions. We also see it in intelligence assistance for contact center automation, or chat bots, medical imaging, and intelligence stores, and warehouses, and everywhere. It's really amazing what AI has been demonstrating, what it can do, and its new use cases are showing up all the time. >> You know, Ian, I'd love to get your thoughts on how the world's evolved, just in the past few years alone, with cloud.

You had this whole kind of fullstack mindset, initially, and now you're seeing more of a horizontal scale, but yet, enabling this vertical specialization in applications. I mean, you mentioned some of those apps. The new enablers, this kind of, the horizontal play with enablement for, you know, specialization with data, this is a huge shift that's going on.

You have this underpinning of great AI technologies that are being invented around the world. NVIDIA's role is to try to productize that and provide a platform for people to do that innovation. And then, take the next step and innovate vertically. Take it and apply it to a particular field, like medical, like healthcare and medical imaging, applying AI so that radiologists can have an AI assistant with them and highlight different parts of the scan that may be troublesome or worrying, or require some more investigation. Using it for robotics, building virtual worlds where robots can be trained in a virtual environment, their AI being constantly trained and reinforced, and learn how to do certain activities and techniques.
