In 1999, NVIDIA invented the graphics processing unit (GPU), which greatly promoted the development of the PC gaming market and redefined computer graphics technology. In 2006, he invented the parallel computing platform and programming model CUDA, which had a significant impact on later artificial intelligence technology. In 2021, NVIDIA Omniverse, a graphics simulation and ** platform, was released, aiming to play a fundamental role in the construction of the metaverse. In addition to commercial success in automobiles, AI factories, gaming, and more, NVIDIA's GPU computing has helped the scientific field, processing data collected by laser interferometric gravitational-wave observatories through GPU's accelerated computing, helping Rainer Weiss and others successfully detect the first gravitational waves.

In July 2020, NVIDIA surpassed Intel in market value for the first time and became the chip manufacturer with the highest market value in the United States. In May 2023, it will become the first chip company with a market value of $1 trillion. In February 2024, Nvidia's market capitalization reached 1$83 trillion and an opening** of 732$02, surpassing Google's parent company Alphabet, and its market value is second only to Microsoft and Apple.
