NVIDIA

Alain Tiquet

Group Director, Business Development

The Visual Computing Company

For two decades, NVIDIA has pioneered visual computing, the art and science of computer graphics.

With our invention of the GPU — the engine of modern visual computing — the field has expanded to encompass video games, movie production, product design, medical diagnosis and scientific research.

Today, visual computing is becoming increasingly central to how people interact with technology.

Powering a world of devices

Visual computing is more important than ever, with consumer expectation for rich graphics rising amid a massive proliferation of mobile devices. The world's leading OEMs, from Apple to Audi, will build computing devices that incorporate more than 2 billion GPU cores in 2014. NVIDIA creates the world's best GPUs to address this opportunity, either through processors or licensing our IP. Our Tegra® SOCs serve the smart device markets where visual computing matters — from superphones and tablets to auto infotainment and driver assistance systems, to gaming devices. Our latest processor, Tegra® K1, brings the heart of GeForce and the soul of Tesla to mobile. With 192 fully programmable cores, Tegra K1 enables developers to build next-gen games and apps that will run on any device. The automotive-grade Tegra K1 visual computing module will even help self-driving cars advance from the realm of research into the mass market and bring photo-realistic digital cockpits to life.

INRIA, the French national institute for research in computer science and control, is the only French public institute entirely dedicated to research in information and communication science and technology (ICST).

Throughout its nine research units located in different regions, INRIA has a workforce of 3,600; 2,800 of whom are scientists from INRIA and its partner organizations. INRIA has an annual budget of 180 million euros, 30% of which comes from its own research contracts and licences.

INRIA plays a leading role in the following fields: "networks, telecoms and multimedia", "complex systems and software" and "modelling, simulation and visualisation". As its strategy closely combines scientific excellence with technology transfert, it develops collaborations with the economic world through strategic industrial partners and by creating companies (80 start-ups in 20 years) - particularly through its subsidiary INRIA-Transfert, participating in four venture capital funds.

INRIA is partner in about 120 FP6 projects (90 of them in the IST priority).

The department RITS (Robotics for Intelligent ransportation Systems) has been involved over the last 20 years in the application of Information Technologies in the field of intelligent road transport and in particular in driving assistance and automation.. IMARA (its name before RITS) was the coordinator of the CyberCars Project and is currently the coordinator of CyberCars-2. The RITS department is now closely linked to the robotics group of Ecole des Mines de Paris directed by Arnaud de La Fortelle, INRIA and ARMINES have signed a collaboration agreement establishing the Joint Research Unit *LaRA* (La Route Automatisée), hence these entities can be seen as one single team which now works on several common projects such as Cybercars-2. They will work jointly under the same budget distributed by INRIA using the special clause 10 of FP7 Grant Agreement. LaRA comprises about 60 scientists, which have been involved in many European Projects such as VISIMPLANT, CARSENSE, CAMELLIA, REACT, C2REACT, CyberCars, CyberMove, CyberCars-2, CityMobil, CityMobil2.
