Nvidia designs the H100 graphics processor used widely for artificial-intelligence computing.
The H100 is a data-center GPU based on Nvidia’s Hopper architecture. It is designed for demanding workloads such as training and running large machine-learning models, where massive parallel processing is useful.
Nvidia was founded in 1993 by Jensen Huang, Chris Malachowsky, and Curtis Priem. The company first became famous for graphics processors used in personal computers and video games. Its CUDA software platform later helped developers use Nvidia GPUs for scientific and artificial-intelligence computation.
Strong demand for data-center accelerators helped Nvidia become one of the world’s most valuable public companies. Its market capitalization can rise or fall sharply because investors are pricing expected future sales as well as current results.
