Last week, NVIDIA ran it’s annual accelerated computing event at Stanford with this year’s theme of End-to-End Analytics. The event was held at the beautiful Jen-Hsun Huang Engineering Center right on the Engineering Quad. The event was over-subscribed and the morning session featuring speakers such as NVIDIA Chief Architect of Automotive Urs Müller, Patrick Ehlen of Loop AI, Andrej Karpathy of Stanford CS, Cyprien Noel of Yahoo, and NVIDIA Chief DL Scientist Boris Ginsburg

A highlight of the event was the demonstrations session, where we showed DIGITS 2 on the DevBox, a data munging and DL tool Lablr, and Jason Yosinski’s Deep Visualization Toolbox. We got to use the HANA Immersive Visualization Environment (HIVE), measuring an impressive 10ft by 24ft 13440x5400 resolution. The ground floor on the iCME was packed (tip: the Forbes Family Cafe on the first floor is a great place to grab a bite).

It turns out we weren’t the only ones on campus. Tesla and Elon Musk had a significant presence on campus as part of the Stanford Future Fest. They had a pretty nice booth setup. What a day!
