Nvidia And VMware Partner to Improve AI Chips; Shares up
Chipmaker Nvidia announced a partnership with VMware on Tuesday to improve software performance in artificial intelligence chips and help businesses accessibility.
VMware is a technology provider that helps businesses in their digital transformation. It produces software that enhances data server capacity by mixing physical and virtual machines.
The news is another sign of Nvidia dominance in the chip industry as VMware's focus on Intel Corp solutions is now turning into Nvidia hardware and AI products.
Artificial intelligence is now active in almost every single industry with AI solutions implemented in day to day products, manufacturing, and services.
According to Krish Prasad, Head of VMware cloud platform business unit, company's software tools will work with no problems with Nvidia chips. It will not require "any kind of specialized setup."
In the same line, Nvidia's head of enterprise computing acknowledged that Nvidia's focus has been on hardware historically, but it is changing now.
Das said:
There is some very important computer science that has been done between the VMware and Nvidia teams to enable this, as much as people may think of Nvidia as a hardware company, we are more so a software company today.
