6. NVIDIA CEO GIVES WORLD’S TOP AI RESEARCHERS
FIRST NVIDIA TESLA V100S
AI is reshaping the world. The researchers gathered
at this week’s Computer Vision and Pattern
Recognition conference in Honolulu are reshaping AI.
That’s why NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang chose to light
up a meetup of elite deep learning researchers at
CVPR to unveil the NVIDIA Tesla V100, our latest
GPU, based on our Volta architecture, by presenting
it to 15 participants in our NVIDIA AI Labs program.
The audience of more than 150 top AI researchers —
gathered for our NVAIL meetup — grabbed their
smartphones to snap pictures of the moment.

7. IS CUSTOMIZED HEALTHCARE A NEAR TERM REALITY?
2
In this special guest feature, Abdul Hamid Halabi, the global
business development lead for healthcare and life sciences at
NVIDIA, discusses how personalized or precision medicine is
becoming a reality with the help of a machine learning method
called deep learning. Halabi is responsible for helping drive the
company’s growth and innovation strategies across the
healthcare ecosystem. With nearly 20 years of experience in
advanced technologies, he partners with thought leaders and
world-class organizations to transform healthcare through the
application of deep learning and high performance computing to
enable precision medicine initiatives and evidence-based
medicine.

In a recent survey, International Data Corporation
(IDC) found that accelerated computing is quickly
gaining traction in the enterprise as businesses
embrace these technologies to overcome the
limitations of CPUs. To help organizations to
better understand where accelerated computing
fits in the computing platforms hierarchy and to
develop a more informed implementation
strategy, IDC has published its first accelerated
compute taxonomy.

9. SUPERCOMPUTERS REVEAL HOW THE HIV VIRUS MOVES
University of Illinois scientists used two GPU-
accelerated supercomputers to simulate the behavior of
64 million atoms to capture 1.2 microseconds of the life
of an HIV capsid. The simulation offers new insights
into how the virus senses its environment and
completes its infective cycle.
“We are learning the details of the HIV capsid system,
not just the structure but also how it changes its
environment and responds to its environment,” said
research scientist Juan R. Perilla, who led the study
with physics professor Klaus Schulten. Such details
could help scientists find new ways to defeat the virus,
Perilla said.

10. AI APP SUGGESTS RECIPES BASED ON FOOD PICTURES
MIT researchers developed a deep learning system
that can compile a list of ingredients and suggest
similar recipes by looking at a photo of food.
“In computer vision, food is mostly neglected
because we don’t have the large-scale datasets
needed to make predictions,” says Yusuf Aytar,
an MIT postdoc who co-wrote the paper about the
system with MIT Professor Antonio Torralba. “But
seemingly useless photos on social media can
actually provide valuable insight into health
habits and dietary preferences.”
