GeForce is NVIDIA's consumer GPU line, described by Jensen Huang as the distribution base that carried CUDA into the world and helped turn NVIDIA into a computing platform company.
Key facts
- Type: Consumer GPU product line
- Maker: Nvidia
- Jensen says NVIDIA put Cuda on GeForce even when the company could not afford the added cost, because a computing architecture needs a large install base [src-065].
- GeForce brought CUDA to gamers, students, researchers, scientists, engineering schools, and self-built university clusters [src-065].
- Jensen calls NVIDIA the "house that GeForce built" because GeForce made CUDA broadly discoverable before the cloud era [src-065].
