History

Historical Context

Nvidia’s CUDA platform, launched in 2007 after Ian Buck’s early-2000s GPU research and backed by CEO Jensen Huang, turned GPUs into general-purpose parallel processors. By 2012 these GPUs powered thousands of data-center clusters, and in 2023 Nvidia sold 500,000 Hopper H100 accelerators, driving a market cap above $2 trillion and prompting rivals such as Google to deepen AI-hardware partnerships.
