Revisit the GTC AI Conference from March 17–21 in San Jose, CA

Just as critical to the performance of AI model training, tail latency can negatively affect real-time AI inference, financial trading, and large-scale data analytics, where even microsecond delays can affect outcomes. The approach to zero-tail latency and accelerated networking with enhanced programmable I/O represent a paradigm shift in the performance and scalability of modern computing infrastructures. This session will open the discussion to dive into the significance of accelerated networking technologies in delivering zero-tail latency, ensuring that every data transfer meets demanding performance requirements even beyond 100k GPU scale. Important: Connect with the Experts sessions are interactive sessions that give you a unique opportunity to meet, in either a group or one-on-one setting, with the minds behind NVIDIA’s products and research to get your questions answered. Attendees can meet with experts on a first-come, first-served basis.

Real-time edge AI and robotic systems are transforming medical workflows and creating revolutionary devices that are advancing the standard of care for disease detection, diagnosis, and interventions. NVIDIA's platforms — MONAI, Holoscan, Isaac, Omniverse, and Metropolis — span model training, digital twins/simulations, and runtime deployment. Together, they provide developers with an end-to-end, accelerated, full-stack infrastructure, enabling rapid prototyping and scalable development of real-time AI applications. Learn from NVIDIA experts how our platforms can save you time and money in bringing AI-enabled systems to market, from smart diagnostic devices and innovative imaging systems to surgical robots trained using digital twin technologies.
