エヌビディアの古家です。

4 月 12 日より、NVIDIA 最大のカンファレンス NVIDIA GTC が始まりました。毎年アメリカのカリフォルニア州サンノゼで開催してきましたが、昨年に続き今年もオンラインでの開催となりました。毎回大人気の基調講演をはじめ、著名なパイオニアたちの講演など、全部で 1,400 を超えるセッションが予定されています。これを一覧表にするのは難しすぎるので、主に HPC 系に限られてしまいますが、私がそれぞれの担当者から教えてもらった「お勧めのセッションリスト」をここで紹介します。特に私がお勧めしたいのは、NVIDIA の Developer Technology Engineer 成瀬がリストアップした「HPC Deep Dive」です。なお、講演終了後は録画が観られるようになっていますので、「とりあえず参加登録して、あとで時間を作って観よう」で大丈夫です。

なお、リンク先へのアクセスは参加登録＆ログインが必要なので、未登録の方は最初にこちらのリンク先から参加登録してください。個人的な意見ですが、すでに誰かから案内を受け取っている方は、そちらを優先した方がよい…と思います。
