Summit Attendees Can Learn How to Use NVIDIA BlueField DPUs to Speed Up Applications such as ChatGPT 

SAN DIEGO, CA – June 1, 2023 – SmartNICs Summit announces its first tutorial on accelerating generative AI (such as ChatGPT®). At the summit, NVIDIA experts will explain how to use NVIDIA BlueField DPUs to speed up generative AI applications.

Everyone expects generative AI to have millions of users and a large ecosystem in record time. However, the industry also agrees that these applications will challenge existing compute resources, causing high costs and long run times. The tutorial at the SmartNICs Summit will describe and demonstrate NVIDIA technologies that help address such challenges. The tutorial will be free for attendees at the SmartNICs Summit (www.smartnicssummit.com) on Tuesday, June 13, from 8:30 to noon PDT, at the Doubletree by Hilton San Jose Hotel.
