The speech was a testament to resilience, strategic retreat, and the importance of "running fast". Let's dissect the three stories that shaped Nvidia's journey and understand the essence of these narratives. Story 1: Humility in the Face of Failure The first story revolved around Nvidia’s initial endeavor to build a game console for Sega. The company's forward texture mapping approach, although affordable, proved technically inferior. Moreover, Nvidia was trailing behind the industry's pivot towards Microsoft's Windows 95 direct 3D, based on inverse texture mapping and triangles. The critical lesson here was the willingness to acknowledge failure and seek help. Confronting the mistake, the CEO courageously contacted Sega’s CEO, admitted their missteps, and asked for their understanding. His humility and transparency allowed Nvidia to secure funding and eventually build the revolutionary Reva 128, which catapulted Nvidia into the global 3D market. Key takeaway: Humility and the courage to confront failures are critical in turning crises into opportunities. Story 2: The Power of Perseverance Nvidia's next challenge was the introduction of Cuda, a GPU-accelerated computing, aiming to boost various applications. Despite the hardship and skepticism from shareholders, Nvidia persevered, believing in the advent of accelerated computing. Their commitment paid off when AI researchers discovered Cuda, leading to a surge in deep learning and propelling Nvidia to be the engine of AI. Key takeaway: Enduring pain and suffering is often necessary to realize a vision. The capacity to persevere through difficulties can usher in groundbreaking discoveries and success. Story 3: Strategic Retreat and Sacrifice The final story centered around Nvidia’s entrance into the mobile chip market, which was short-lived due to fierce competition. Instead of battling for market share, Nvidia made a strategic retreat, focusing on its mission of solving problems that ordinary computers couldn't. The company invented a new type of computer for robotic computers, which led to the creation of a billion-dollar automotive and robotics business. Key takeaway: Strategic retreat and sacrifice can pave the way for unique contributions and open the door to new, promising markets. Run, Don’t Walk The CEO concluded the speech by urging the listeners to "run". This metaphor underlines the importance of striving ardently towards one's goals. In a world of rapid technological advancement, it's vital to keep moving swiftly - whether to seize opportunities (running for food) or to avoid becoming obsolete (running from becoming food). Regardless of the motivation, the essence is to maintain momentum and constantly push the boundaries. The stories of Nvidia's journey remind us that humility to acknowledge failure, perseverance during hard times, and the wisdom to strategically retreat can turn challenges into opportunities. In a world marked by constant change, the mantra to "run" serves as a call to action to chase our dreams relentlessly. # Youtube 逐字稿 0:09 [Music] 0:15 thank you 0:26 [Applause] 0:28 and she looks sure

parents and our 2:18 grandparents many of them are here 2:20 our appreciation 2:22 [Applause] 2:25 [Music] 2:30 I came to NTU for the first time over a 2:33 decade ago 2:36 Dr Chang invited me to visit his 2:39 computational physics lab 2:42 as I recall his son 2:44 based in Silicon Valley 2:46 had learned of nvidia's Cuda invention 2:51 and recommended his father 2:54 utilize it for his quantum physics 2:57 simulations 2:59 when I arrived 3:02 he opened the doors to show me 3:04 what he had made 3:08 Nvidia she forced gaming cards 3:11 filled the room 3:15 plugged into open PC motherboards 3:19 and sitting on metal shelves 3:22 in the aisles 3:24 were oscillating 3:27 thoughtful fans 3:32 Dr Chang 3:34 had built a homemade supercomputer 3:39 the Taiwanese way 3:43 out of gaming graphics cards 3:47 and he started 3:50 here an early example 3:53 of nvidia's Journey he was so proud 3:57 and he said to me 3:59 Mr Wong 4:01 because of your work 4:04 I can do my life's work 4:08 in my lifetime 4:11 those words touch me to this day 4:14 and perfectly capture our company's 4:17 purpose 4:19 to help the Einstein and da Vinci of our 4:22 time 4:23 do their lives work 4:26 I am so happy to be back at NTU and to 4:29 be your Commencement Address 4:32 the world was simpler when I graduated 4:35 from Oregon State University 4:38 TVs were not flat yet 4:41 there was no cable television 4:45 an MTV 4:47 and the words 4:49 mobile 4:51 and phone 4:54 didn't go together 4:57 the year was 1984 the IBM PCAT and Apple 5:02 Macintosh launched the PC Revolution 5:06 and started the ship and software 5:10 industry that we know today 5:13 you enter a far more complex world 5:17 with geopolitical social and 5:20 environmental changes and challenges 5:24 surrounded by technology 5:27 we are now perpetually connected 5:30 and immersed an additional world 5:34 that parallels our real world 5:37 cars are starting to drive by themselves 5:43 40 years 5:45 that after the computer industry created 5:48 the whole PC 5:50 we invented artificial intelligence 5:54 like software that automatically drives 5:57 a car 5:58 or studies x-ray images 6:01 AI software has opened the door 6:05 for computers to automate tasks 6:08 for the world's largest 6:11 multi-trillion dollars of Industries 6:15 Healthcare Financial Services 6:18 transportation and Manufacturing 6:21 AI has opened immense opportunities 6:24 agile companies will take advantage of 6:27 AI and boost their position 6:31 companies look so will perish 6:35 entrepreneurs 6:36 [Music] 6:38 many of them here today 6:40 will start new companies 6:43 and like in every Computing era before 6:46 create new Industries 6:49 AI will create new jobs 6:51 that didn't exist before 6:54 like data engineering 6:56 prompt engineering 6:58 AI Factory operations 7:01 and AI safety Engineers these are jobs 7:04 that have never existed before 7:07 automated tasks will obsolete some jobs 7:11 and for sure 7:14 AI will change every job 7:18 for charging the performance of 7:20 programmers 7:21 designers artists 7:24 marketers 7:25 and Manufacturing planners 7:29 just as every generation before you 7:32 Embrace Technologies 7:34 seed every company 7:37 and you 7:39 must learn to take advantage of AI 7:42 and do amazing things 7:45 with an AI co-pilot by your site 7:49 while some worry that AI may take their 7:53 jobs 7:55 someone who expert with AI will 8:01 we are at the beginning of a major 8:03 technology era 8:05 like PC 8:08 internet mobile and Cloud 8:11 but AI is 8:13 far more fundamental 8:17 because every Computing layer has been 8:19 reinvented 8:21 from how we write software 8:24 to how it's processed 8:26 AI has reinvented computing 8:29 from the ground up 8:32 in every way this is a Reverb 8:34 of the computer industry 8:37 and a golden opportunity for the 8:40 opportunity for the companies of Taiwan 8:43 you are the foundation in Bedrock 8:46 of the computer industry 8:49 within the next decade 8:51 our industry will replace over a 8:54 trillion dollars 8:56 of the world's traditional computers 8:59 with new accelerated AI computers 9:05 my journey started 40 years before yours 9:11 1984 9:13 was a perfect year to graduate 9:17 I predict 9:19 that 2023 will be as well 9:24 what can I tell you as you begin your 9:26 journey 9:29 today is the most successful day of your 9:32 life so far 9:36 you're graduating from the national 9:37 Taiwan University 9:41 I was also successful 9:45 until I started a video 9:49 at Nvidia 9:52 I screws failures 9:54 [Music] 9:55 great big ones 9:58 all humiliating and embarrassing 10:02 many nearly doomed us 10:07 let me tell you three Nvidia stories 10:10 that Define us today 10:13 we found an Nvidia to create accelerated 10:15 computing 10:17 our first application was 3D graphics 10:21 for PC gaming 10:24 we invented an unconventional 3D 10:27 approach called forward texture mapping 10:29 and curse 10:32 our approach was substantially lower 10:35 cost 10:37 we won a contract with Sega to build 10:39 their game console 10:41 which attracted games for our platform 10:44 and funded our company 10:48 after one year of development 10:50 we realized our architecture 10:52 was the wrong strategy 10:55 it was technically poor 10:58 and Microsoft was about to announce 11:01 Windows 95 direct 3D based on inverse 11:06 texture mapping and triangles 11:10 many companies who are already working 11:12 on 3D chips to support the standard 11:17 depleted sega's game console 11:20 we would have built inferior technology 11:24 be incompatible with Windows 11:27 and made too far behind to catch up 11:33 but we would be out of money 11:36 if we didn't finish the contract 11:39 either way 11:41 we would be out of business 11:44 contacted the CEO of Sega 11:47 and explain that our invention was the 11:50 wrong approach 11:52 that Sega should find another partner 11:55 and that we could not complete it's the 11:58 contract and the console 12:01 we had to stop 12:04 but 12:06 I needed Sega to pay us 12:08 in whole 12:10 or Nvidia would be out of this business 12:14 I was embarrassed to ask 12:17 he reminds me son 12:19 the city of Sega 12:21 to his credit 12:23 and my amazement 12:25 agreed 12:27 his understanding and generosity gave us 12:31 six months to live 12:34 with that 12:36 we built Reva 128. 12:39 it's just us we were running out of 12:41 money 12:42 or even 128 12:45 shot the young 3D Market 12:47 put us on the map 12:49 and save the company 12:52 the strong demand for our chip led me 12:54 back to Taiwan 12:55 after leaving at the age of four 12:58 to me foreign 13:01 a partnership 13:03 that has lasted 25 years 13:07 confronting our mistake 13:09 and with humility asking for help 13:14 save Nvidia 13:17 these traits 13:19 are the hardest 13:21 for the brightest 13:23 and most successful 13:25 like yourself 13:28 in 2007 13:31 we announced could a GPU accelerated 13:34 community 13:36 our aspiration was for Cuda to become a 13:39 programming model 13:40 that boosts applications from scientific 13:43 computing 13:45 the physics simulations 13:47 to image processing 13:50 creating a new Computing model is 13:53 incredibly hard 13:55 and rarely done in history 13:58 the CPU Computing model has been the 14:02 standard for 60 years 14:05 since the IBM system 360. 14:09 Cuda needed developers to write 14:11 applications 14:12 and demonstrate the benefits 14:15 of the GPU 14:17 developers need a large install base 14:22 and a large Cuda install base 14:25 heated customers 14:27 buying new applications 14:31 so to solve the chicken or the egg 14:33 problem 14:34 we use G-Force 14:37 our gaming GPU which already had a large 14:40 Market of hammers 14:42 to build the install base 14:46 but the added cost of Cuda 14:48 was very hard 14:51 nvidia's profit took a huge hit 14:55 for many years 14:57 our market cap hovered just below just 15:01 above one billion dollars 15:05 we suffered many years of poor 15:08 performance 15:10 our shareholders 15:12 were skeptical of Cuda and preferred 15:16 we focus on improving profitability 15:20 but we persevered 15:23 we believe the time for Accelerated 15:25 Community would come 15:28 we created a conference called GTC 15:32 and promoted Coda tirelessly worldwide 15:37 then 15:38 the applications came 15:41 seismic processing 15:43 CT reconstruction 15:45 molecular Dynamics 15:47 particle particle physics 15:50 fluid dynamics 15:52 and image processing 15:55 one science domain after another they 15:58 came 16:00 we worked with each developer to write 16:03 their algorithms and Achieve incredible 16:06 Speedos 16:09 then 16:10 in 2012 16:13 AI researchers 16:16 discovered Cuda 16:18 the famous alexnet 16:21 trained on G-Force GTX 580 16:25 started the Big Bang of AI 16:29 fortunately 16:31 we realized the potential of deep 16:33 learning as a whole new software 16:35 approach 16:37 and turned every aspect of our company 16:40 to advance this new field 16:44 we Risk Everything 16:46 to pursue deep learning 16:50 a decade later 16:52 the AI Revolution started 16:55 and Nvidia is the engine of AI 16:58 developers worldwide 17:02 we invented Cuda and pioneered 17:04 accelerating Computing and AI 17:06 but the journey 17:09 forged our corporate character 17:12 to endure the pain and suffering 17:16 that is always needed to realize a 17:19 vision 17:22 One More Story 17:24 in 2010 17:26 Google aimed to develop Android into a 17:30 mobile computer 17:31 with excellent graphics 17:34 the phone industry had chip companies 17:37 with modem expertise 17:40 nvidious Computing and Graphics 17:42 expertise made us an ideal partner to 17:45 help build Android 17:47 so we entered 17:49 the mobile ship Market 17:51 we were instantly successful 17:54 and our business is stock price surged 17:59 the competition 18:01 quickly sworn 18:04 Moto ship makers were learning how to 18:06 build 18:07 computerships 18:09 and we were learning how to build 18:11 motives 18:14 the full Market 18:16 is huge 18:19 we could fight for share 18:23 instead 18:24 we made a hard decision 18:27 and sacrificed the market 18:31 nvidia's mission is to build computers 18:33 to solve problems 18:35 that ordinary computers cannot 18:39 we should dedicate ourselves 18:42 to realizing our vision 18:44 and to making a unique contribution 18:48 our strategic we treat 18:51 paid off 18:53 by leaving the phone market we open our 18:56 minds 18:57 to invent a new one 18:59 we imagine creating a new type of 19:02 computer 19:03 for robotic computers 19:06 with mural Network processor 19:09 safety architectures 19:12 that run AI algorithms 19:15 at the time 19:17 this was a zero billion dollar market 19:22 to retreat 19:24 from a giant phone market 19:26 to create 19:28 a zero billion dollar robotics Market 19:32 we now 19:34 have billions of dollars of automotive 19:37 and Robotics business 19:40 and started a new industry 19:43 retreat 19:47 does not come easily 19:49 to the brightest 19:51 and most successful 19:54 people like yourself 19:56 yet 19:58 strategic retreat 20:01 sacrifice 20:03 deciding what to give up 20:07 is at the core 20:08 the very chord of success 20:13 class of 2023 20:15 you're about to go into a world 20:17 witnessing great change 20:20 and just as I was with the PC and Chip 20:24 Revolution 20:26 you're at the beginning at the starting 20:28 line 20:29 of AI 20:32 every industry 20:34 will be revolutionized 20:37 Reborn 20:39 ready for new ideas 20:42 your ideas 20:45 in 40 years we created the PC 20:50 internet 20:52 mobile 20:54 cloud 20:55 and now the AI era 20:59 what will you create 21:02 whatever it is 21:05 run after it like we did 21:08 run 21:10 don't lock 21:13 remember 21:15 either you're running for food 21:19 or you are 21:21 running from being food 21:31 sounds 21:41 either you're running for food 21:44 or you are running 21:46 from becoming food 21:55 and oftentimes 21:57 you can't tell which 21:59 either way 22:01 run 22:03 and for your journey Take Along some of 22:06 my learnings 22:10 that you will have the humility 22:12 to confront failure 22:14 admit a mistake 22:16 and ask for help 22:20 you will endure pain and suffering 22:23 needed to realize your dreams 22:27 and you will make sacrifices 22:30 to dedicate yourself 22:32 to a life of purpose and doing your 22:35 life's work 22:37 class of 2023. 22:40 I stand by a heartfelt congratulations 22:43 to each one of you 22:46 [Music] 22:50 [Applause] 22:58
