With Nvidia’s GPU Technology conference (GTC 2016) last week following-up on the heels of GDC (Game Developers Conference) last month, it may have been easy to think that Nvidia would have already fired whatever they had in their graphics salvo. And for all intents and purposes that was the case, sort of. Nvidia didn’t announce any new consumer graphics technologies at either GDC or GTC, though they did drop a tactical nuke for GPU-compute and the datacenter that also sets the stage for a near-term unveil in their mainstream desktop graphics business. On stage last week, when Nvidia CEO Jen-Hsun Huang unveiled the Tesla P100 processing engine and the company’s DGX1 Supercomputer that’s powered by eight of the new processors, he also very casually noted that Tesla P100 was shipping now in volume to key High Performance Compute (HPC) OEMs like Dell, HP, IBM and Cray–and that’s kind of a big deal.
