01 / THE BUSINESS IN FOCUS
Hardware becomes more useful through software.
NVIDIA’s history begins in graphics computing, with Jensen Huang among its co-founders. The company’s processors addressed work involving many calculations in parallel. That engineering approach later became relevant to computing tasks beyond rendering images.
The business combines chips with software tools and systems that help developers use them. Hardware capability matters alongside the environment in which applications are written and run. Huang’s biography follows the leadership and career behind that development, while the company portrait concerns the relationship between the computing products and the people building on them.
