The Nvidia way : Jensen Huang and the making of a tech giant / by Kim, Tae(Journalist),author.;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 253-261).Introduction -- Part I The early years (pre-1993) -- Pain and suffering -- The graphics revolution -- The birth of Nvidia -- Part II Near death experiences (1993-2003) -- All in -- Ultra-aggressive -- Just go win -- GeForce and the innovator's dilemma -- Part III Nvidia rising (2002-2013) -- The era of the GPU -- Tortured into greatness -- The engineer's mind -- Part IV Into the future (2013-present) -- The road to AI -- The "most feared" hedge fund -- Lighting the future -- The big bang -- Conclusion: The Nvidia way -- Appendix: Jensen-isms -- Acknowledgments -- Notes.Nvidia, once a niche company focused on computer gaming, has become a powerhouse in the age of artificial intelligence, with its chips driving the generative-AI revolution. Founded in 1993 in a Denny's in East San Jose, Nvidia overcame early challenges and missteps that would have doomed most start-ups. Led by Jensen Huang, the longest-serving CEO in tech, Nvidia's success can be attributed to its flat organizational structure, which empowers all employees to contribute, and Huang's strategic foresight. He tackled the "Innovator's Dilemma" by reinventing corporate strategy, positioning Nvidia ahead of the AI wave even before the technology had fully emerged.

You may be surprised to learn that microchips are the new oil--the scarce resource on which the modern world depends. Today, military, economic, and geopolitical power are built on a foundation of computer chips. Virtually everything--from missiles to microwaves, smartphones to the stock market--runs on chips. Until recently, America designed and built the fastest chips and maintained its lead as the #1 superpower. Now, America's edge is slipping, undermined by competitors in Taiwan, Korea, Europe, and, above all, China. Today, as Chip War reveals, China, which spends more money each year importing chips than it spends importing oil, is pouring billions into a chip-building initiative to catch up to the US. At stake is America's military superiority and economic prosperity. Economic historian Chris Miller explains how the semiconductor came to play a critical role in modern life and how the U.S. become dominant in chip design and manufacturing and applied this technology to military systems. America's victory in the Cold War and its global military dominance stems from its ability to harness computing power more effectively than any other power. But here, too, China is catching up, with its chip-building ambitions and military modernization going hand in hand. America has let key components of the chip-building process slip out of its grasp, contributing not only to a worldwide chip shortage but also a new Cold War with a superpower adversary that is desperate to bridge the gap. Illuminating, timely, and fascinating, Chip War shows that, to make sense of the current state of politics, economics, and technology, we must first understand the vital role played by chips."--

The thinking machine : Jensen Huang, Nvidia, and the world's most coveted microchip / by Witt, Stephen,author.(CARDINAL)410465;
Introduction -- Part I -- The bridge -- Large-scale integration -- New venture -- Thirty days -- Going parallel -- Jellyfish -- Deathmatch -- The compulsion loop -- CUDA -- Resonance -- AlexNet -- Part II -- O.I.A.L.O- Superintelligence -- The good year -- The transformer -- Hyperscale -- Money -- Spaceships -- Power -- The most important stock on earth -- Jensen -- The fear -- The thinking machine -- Acknowledgments -- About the author."The riveting investigative account of Nvidia, the tech company that has exploded in value for its artificial intelligence computing hardware, and Jensen Huang, Nvidia's charismatic, uncompromising CEO. In June of 2024, spurred by the frenzy of investment following the launch of ChatGPT, and thirty-one years after its founding in a Denny's restaurant, Nvidia became the most-valuable corporation on Earth. In The Thinking Machine, acclaimed journalist Stephen Witt recounts the unlikely story of how a manufacturer of video game components shocked Silicon Valley by conquering the market for AI hardware, and in the process re-invented the computer. Essential to Nvidia's meteoric success is its visionary CEO Jensen Huang, who more than a decade ago, on the basis of a few promising scientific results, bet his entire company on AI. Through unprecedented access to Huang, his friends, his investors, and his employees, Witt documents for the first time the company's epic rise and its iconoclastic CEO, who emerges as a compelling, single-minded, and ferocious leader, and now one of Silicon Valley's most influential figures. The Thinking Machine is the story of how Nvidia evolved from providing components for circuit boards to supplying hundred-million dollar supercomputers. It is the story of a determined entrepreneur who defied Wall Street to push his radical vision for computing, in the process becoming one of the wealthiest men alive. It is the story of a revolution in computer architecture, and the small group of renegade engineers who made it happen. And it's the story of our awesome and terrifying AI future, which Huang has billed as the "next industrial revolution," as a new kind of microchip unlocks hyper-realistic avatars, autonomous robots, self-driving cars, and new movies, art, and books, generated on command"--
