# NVIDIA unveils Pascal P100 for HPC and early AI training

Date: 2016

## The fact

At GTC 2016 NVIDIA unveiled Pascal P100, a completed HPC-and-early-AI silicon instrument under Huang that sat between Kepler/Maxwell consumer cards and Volta Tensor Cores.

## Context

Neighbouring CUDA 2006 is the software. Neighbouring Volta 2017 is later Tensor Cores. He did not write a Top500 rule.

CUDA 2006 is neighbouring software. Volta May 2017 is later silicon. Crypto 2018 is later consumer-mining weather.

[Jensen Huang](/people/jensen-huang) has been NVIDIA’s co-founder and CEO since April 1993. He does not write a BIS Entity List, a Commission DMA article, a TSMC fab act, a Chinese CAC circular, or a French Autorité decision. A GTC keynote is not a completed export licence. A subpoena is not a conviction. CUDA is not a court finding of monopoly unless a court so found. TSMC fabricates; hyperscalers buy; Beijing and Washington write the licence. Keep those dates separate. A Greenpeace cake is not a unique ppm. A DOE supercomputer is not a unique arsenal coefficient as his personal tally.

## Evidence and sources

NVIDIA carries the official instrument or communique. Reuters records the same dated act independently.

## Significance

The path is [industrial-policy activism](/drivers/industrial-policy-activism) and edu-[digital-learning-access](/drivers/edu-digital-learning-access): a completed HPC GPU is a scientific-computing instrument.

## What is established and what is not

Established: April 2016 Pascal P100 unveil, independently reported.

Not established: that Top500 uniquely moved because of this keynote, or a unique later energy coefficient from P100.

What would change the picture: a contradictory original with a different date or name, a later repeal, a court that vacated the instrument, or a measured series that can be argued, with lag and alternatives, as a consequence of this instrument rather than of later institutions.

The date is the date of this instrument, not a licence to back-date every later harm or benefit.

Architects designed. TSMC fabricated. Supercomputer centres bought. He did not sit as a lab director.. A later repeal, court stay, or successor order would be a different Fact with a different date. That pair identifies NVIDIA unveils Pascal P100 for HPC and early AI training, not a later speech about NVIDIA unveils Pascal P100 for HPC and early AI training.

Co-authors and later implementers named in Context remain on the file. NVIDIA unveils Pascal P100 for HPC and early AI training on 2016-04-05 is not a licence to treat every later NVIDIA communique as this same act. If a later repeal, stay, or successor instrument exists, it needs its own date and its own row. This dossier refuses to average NVIDIA unveils Pascal P100 for HPC and early AI training into a personality. The contribution described on this Person row is limited to He unveiled as CEO. Architects designed. TSMC fabricated. Supercomputer centres bought. He did not sit as a lab director. That limit is the alternative to treating office-holding as authorship of every later series.
