Co-founded by Jensen Huang, who serves as president and chief executive officer, along with Chris Malachowsky and Curtis Priem, NVIDIA has grown from a graphics-focused chipmaker into a broad provider of accelerated computing hardware and software for multiple industries. The company’s product portfolio spans discrete GPUs for gaming and professional visualization (marketed under the GeForce and NVIDIA RTX lines), high-performance data center accelerators used for AI training and inference (including widely adopted platforms such as the A100 and H100 series), and Tegra SoCs for automotive and edge applications. NVIDIA also develops software and development platforms that extend the value of its hardware, notably the CUDA parallel computing platform and a suite of AI and developer tools (cuDNN, TensorRT, NVIDIA AI Enterprise, and the DGX systems for AI research). In addition, NVIDIA offers automotive solutions (NVIDIA DRIVE), edge AI (Jetson), and enterprise visualization and simulation tools such as Omniverse. The company expanded its networking and interconnect capabilities with the acquisition of Mellanox Technologies in 2020.

Its technologies are widely used in data centers, workstations, gaming consoles and PCs, and embedded systems worldwide.
