7. TENSORRT- FASTER
AI, LOWER COSTS

8. Putting AI to Work 100x Faster
““…NVIDIA is demonstrating how an NVIDIA
DGX Station running NVIDIA TensorRT and
using only one of the four Tesla V100s
we’ve equipped DGX Station with can
perform a common inferencing task 100X
faster than a system without GPUs….One
NVIDIA GPU-enabled system doing the same
work as 100 CPU-only systems means 100
times fewer cloud servers to rent or buy.”.”

“We want to go way beyond the
search box. Visual search is a
fraction of text search today.
Now that everyone is carrying a
high-resolution camera, it’s
going to explode over the next
couple years and maybe even
surpass text.”
-Meenaz Merchant, Tech Lead,
Visual Search Group, Bing
