Nvidia to Work With ARM Chips, Deepening Push Into Supercomputers
Nvidia on Monday said it will make its chips work with processors from ARM Holdings to build supercomputers, deepening Nvidia's push into systems that are used for modelling both climate change predictions and nuclear weapons.
Nvidia was long known as a supplier of graphics chips for personal computers to make video games look more realistic, but researchers now also use its chips inside data centres to speed up artificial intelligence computing work such as training computers to recognize images.
To do so, Nvidia's so-called accelerator chips work alongside central processors from companies such as Intel and International Business Machines.
At a supercomputing conference held in Germany on Monday, Nvidia said its accelerator chips will work with ARM processors by the end of the year.
ARM, owned by Japan's SoftBank Group, provides the underlying processor technology for the chips in most mobile phones. But companies such as Ampere Computing, headed by Intel's former president, have been working to take those chips into data centres, where Intel's chips are dominant.
