GTC Global Tour Wraps Up in Tokyo

Amid robots and roadcars, NVIDIA concluded its seven-city global GPU Technology Conference series in Japan, which leads the world in autonomous machines. Yet another packed house greeted the event — 4,000+ developers, company execs and researchers filling a downtown Tokyo hotel —as NVIDIA founder and CEO Jensen Huang described the transformational reach of GPU-powered deep learning. “The next major revolution is autonomous machines and I can’t imagine a more appropriate place than Japan to invent their future,” said Huang at the year’s seventh GTC.
