According to NVIDIA's official website, NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang was awarded the 2020-2021 National Asian Outstanding Engineer Lifetime Achievement Award. The National Asian American Outstanding Engineer of the Year Award is known as the "Engineering Oscar". It is hosted by the American Chinese Engineers Association and aims to recognize Asian Americans who have made outstanding contributions in the field of science and technology engineering.
Huang Renxun founded NVIDIA in 1993. It was mentioned in the award speech that Huang Renxun was " a visionary parallel computing technology innovator who accelerated the realization of artificial intelligence ".
At the online awards ceremony held on July 18th, Huang Renxun delivered his acceptance speech: “It’s a bit strange to receive the Lifetime Achievement Award. I think I’ve just started, and so is Nvidia. However, I’m still very grateful and honored to be awarded This award, I will share this award with my colleagues at NVIDIA."
Huang Renxun reviewed his experience of studying, working, and living in the United States as an immigrant and Asian American, and reviewed the early development of NVIDIA and the birth of GPU-accelerated computing: "I was fortunate to occupy the front row position in the early days of the computer industry. At that time. We dream of solving major computing challenges, and even imagine that one day we will become a major computing company."
Huang Renxun said that since NVIDIA launched its first chip, the complexity of scenes in computer graphics has increased by about 500 million times. In addition to the field of graphics, GPU acceleration has also been introduced into high-performance computing and artificial intelligence to solve previously impossible problems in fields such as molecular biology.
"After nearly 30 years, GPU accelerated computing has shown amazing results and has been accepted by software developers and computer manufacturers around the world, becoming an important tool for scientists and the engine of modern artificial intelligence, which is gratifying." Huang Renxun Said: "As an engineer, I am afraid there is no more exciting time than now."
The Asian American Outstanding Engineer of the Year (AAEOY) award was established in 2002 and is awarded once a year. There are currently more than 300 winners, including 9 Nobel Prize winners, such as Ding Zhaozhong, Zhu Diwen, etc., astronauts and entrepreneurs, such as TSMC founder Zhang Zhongmou.
