NVIDIA’s Dr Steven Parker, eminent scientist, and Padma Bhushan awardee Dr Vijay Bhatkar delivered keynote addresses on the revolution in AI and Integrative Computing, respectively, to a standing room only crowd. This was followed by tracks on Deep Learning, HPC and Professional Visualization, NVIDIA VR Village experiences, sponsor booths, the evening GTCx mixer and much more, with the buzz running to well over 8 p.m.

NVIDIA’s Deep Learning Institute (DLI) Training ran to a full house for all the three classes (introduction to deep learning, object detection and network deployment. The very interactive audience had NVIDIA expert Abel Brown teaching and fielding questions from 9.00 a.m. to almost 7.00 p.m., well over the original schedule.

Emerging Companies Summit (ECS) has showcased 12 start-ups with exciting solutions, ranging from an app which recognizes food ingredients and suggests recipes to another which observes inventory in brand coolers at retail outlets and automatically reorders supplies. The audience was a mixture of start-ups, investors, companies and media.

The keynote live feed was viewed extensively online and GTCx India was successful in bringing the Indian GPU community together on one platform to share knowledge, learn and network.
