Ladies and gentlemen, esteemed faculty members, distinguished guests, proud parents, and above all, the 2023 graduating class of the National Taiwan University. Today is a very special day for you, and a dream come true for your parents.

女士們,先生們,尊敬的教職員工,尊敬的來賓,自豪的父母,最重要的是,國立台灣大學2023屆畢業生。今天對你來說是一個非常特别的日子,對你的父母來說夢想成真。

You should be moving out soon. It is surely a day of pride and joy.So, your parents have made sacrifices to see you on this day. My parents are here, and so is my brother. Let's show all of our parents and our grandparents, many of them are here, our appreciation.

你應該很快就要搬出去了。這無疑是一個自豪和喜悅的日子。是以,你的父母為了這一天見到你做出了犧牲。 我的父母在這裡,我的兄弟也在這裡。讓我們向我們所有的父母和祖父母(他們中的許多人)表達我們的感激之情。

I came to NTU for the first time over a decade ago. Dr. Chen invited me to visit his computational physics lab. As I recall, his son, based in Silicon Valley, had learned of NVIDIA's CUDA invention and recommended his father utilize it for his quantum physics simulations.

十多年前,我第一次來到南洋理工大學。 陳博士邀請我參觀他的計算實體實驗室。我記得,他的兒子住在矽谷,他知道了英偉達的 CUDA 發明,并建議他的父親将其用于量子實體模拟。

When I arrived, he opened the door to show me what he had made. NVIDIA GeForce gaming cards filled the room, plugged into open PC motherboards, and sitting on metal shelves in the aisles were oscillating platform fans.

當我到達時,他打開門向我展示他所做的一切。NVIDIA GeForce 遊戲卡擠滿了房間,插入開放式 PC 主機闆,過道的金屬架子上坐着擺動的平台風扇。

Dr. Chen had built a homemade supercomputer, the Taiwanese Way, out of gaming graphics cards. He started here, an early example of NVIDIA's journey.

陳博士用遊戲顯示卡制造了一台自制的超級計算機——台灣方式。他從這裡開始,這是 NVIDIA 旅程的早期例子。

He was so proud, and he said to me, Mr. Huang, because of your work, I can do my life's work. Those words touch me to this day, and perfectly capture our company's purpose, to help the Einstein and Da Vinci of our time do their life's work.

他很自豪,他對我說,黃先生,因為你的工作,我才能做我一生的工作。這些話至今仍觸動着我,完美地展現了我們公司的宗旨,即幫助我們這個時代的愛因斯坦和達芬奇完成他們一生的工作。

I am so happy to be back at NTU, and to be your commencement address. The world was simpler when I graduated from Oregon State University. TVs were not flat yet. There was no cable television, and MTV.

我很高興能回到南大,并成為你們的畢業典禮緻辭。 當我從俄勒岡州立大學畢業時,世界更簡單。 電視還不是平的。沒有有線電視和MTV。

And the words mobile and phone didn't go together. The year was 1984. The IBM PC-AT and Apple Macintosh launched the PC revolution.

手機和電話這兩個詞并沒有放在一起。這一年是1984年。IBM PC-AT和Apple Macintosh掀起了PC革命。

And started the chip and software industry that we know today. You enter a far more complex world, with geopolitical, social, and environmental changes and challenges.

并開始了我們今天所知道的晶片和軟體行業。你進入一個更加複雜的世界,地緣政治、社會和環境的變化和挑戰。

Surrounded by technology, we are now perpetually connected, and immersed in a digital world that parallels our real world. Cars are starting to drive by themselves.

在技術的包圍下,我們現在永遠保持聯系,并沉浸在一個與我們的現實世界平行的數字世界中。汽車開始自行駕駛。

AI will create new jobs that didn't exist before人工智能将創造以前不存在的新工作

Forty years after the computer industry created the home PC, we invented artificial intelligence. Like software that automatically drives a car, or studies x-ray images, AI software has opened the door for computers to automate tasks for the world's largest, multi-trillion dollars of industries.

在計算機行業創造家用PC四十年後,我們發明了人工智能。就像自動駕駛汽車或研究X射線圖像的軟體一樣,人工智能軟體為計算機打開了一扇門,為世界上最大的、價值數萬億美元的行業自動化任務。

Healthcare, financial services, transportation, and manufacturing. AI has opened immense opportunities.

醫療保健、金融服務、運輸和制造業。人工智能開辟了巨大的機會。

Agile companies will take advantage of AI, and boost their position. Companies less so, will perish. Entrepreneurs, many of them here today, will start new companies.

靈活公司将利用人工智能,并提升自己的地位。 公司不那麼,就會滅亡。企業家,其中許多人今天在座,将創辦新公司。

And like in every computing era before, create new industries. AI will create new jobs that didn't exist before. Like data engineering, prompt engineering, AI factory operations, and AI safety engineers.

就像以前的每個計算時代一樣,創造新的産業。 人工智能将創造以前不存在的新工作。比如資料工程、提示工程、人工智能工廠營運和人工智能安全工程師。

These are jobs that never existed before. Automated tasks will obsolete some jobs. And for sure, AI will change every job. Supercharging the performance of programmers, designers, artists, marketers, and manufacturing planners.

這些是以前從未存在過的工作。 自動化任務将淘汰某些作業。 可以肯定的是,人工智能将改變每一份工作。提高程式員、設計師、美術師、營銷人員和制造規劃人員的績效。

Just as every generation before you embraced technologies to succeed, every company, and you, must learn to take advantage of AI. And do amazing things with an AI co-pilot by your side.

正如在你擁抱技術取得成功之前的每一代人一樣,每家公司和你都必須學會利用人工智能。并與你身邊的 AI 副駕駛一起做驚人的事情。

While some worry that AI may take their jobs, someone who expert with AI will. We are at the beginning of a major technology era, like PC, internet, mobile, and cloud. But AI is far more fundamental because every computing layer has been reinvented, from how we write software to how it's processed.

雖然有些人擔心人工智能可能會搶走他們的工作,但人工智能專家會。我們正處于一個主要技術時代的開始,比如PC、網際網路、移動和雲。 但人工智能的基礎要大得多,因為從我們如何編寫軟體到如何處理軟體,每個計算層都得到了重新發明。

AI has reinvented computing from the ground up. In every way, this is a rebirth of the computer industry. And a golden opportunity for the companies of Taiwan.

人工智能從頭開始重新發明了計算。 從各個方面來看,這都是計算機行業的重生。對于台灣公司來說,這是一個千載難逢的機會。

You are the foundation and bedrock of the computer industry. Within the next decade, our industry will replace over a trillion dollars of the world's traditional computers with new, accelerated AI computers.

您是計算機行業的基礎和基石。在未來十年内,我們的行業将用新的、加速的人工智能計算機取代世界上超過一萬億美元的傳統計算機。

The first story of NVIDIA: Confronting mistakes and asking for help英偉達的第一個故事:面對錯誤并尋求幫助

My journey started 40 years before yours. 1984 was a perfect year to graduate. I predict that 2023 will be as well.

我的旅程比你早40年開始。 1984年是畢業的完美一年。我預測2023年也會如此。

What can I tell you as you begin your journey? Today is the most successful day of your life so far. You're graduating from the National Taiwan University. I was also successful until I started NVIDIA.

當你開始你的旅程時,我能告訴你什麼? 今天是迄今為止你生命中最成功的一天。 你從國立台灣大學畢業。在我創辦NVIDIA之前,我也很成功。

At NVIDIA, I experienced failures. Great big ones. All humiliating and embarrassing. Many nearly doomed us.

在英偉達,我經曆了失敗。 偉大的大。 都是羞辱和尴尬。許多人幾乎注定了我們。

Let me tell you three NVIDIA stories that define us today.

讓我告訴你們三個 NVIDIA 的故事,它定義了我們今天的我們。

We founded NVIDIA to create accelerated computing. Our first application was 3D graphics for PC gaming.

我們創立 NVIDIA 是為了建立加速計算。我們的第一個應用是用于PC遊戲的3D圖形。

We invented an unconventional 3D approach called forward texture mapping and curves. Our approach was substantially lower cost. We won a contract with SEGA to build their game console, which attracted games for our platform and funded our company.

我們發明了一種非正常的3D方法,稱為前向紋理映射和曲線。 我們的方法大大降低了成本。我們與世嘉簽訂了開發遊戲機的合同,為我們的平台吸引了遊戲并資助了我們的公司。

After one year of development, we realized our architecture was the wrong strategy. It was technically poor. And Microsoft was about to announce Windows 95 Direct 3D based on inverse texture mapping and triangles.

經過一年的開發,我們意識到我們的架構是錯誤的政策。 它在技術上很差。微軟即将宣布基于反向紋理映射和三角形的Windows 95 Direct 3D。

Many companies were already working on 3D chips to support this standard. If we completed SEGA's game console, we would have built inferior technology, be incompatible with Windows, and be too far behind to catch up.

許多公司已經在研究3D晶片來支援這一标準。如果我們完成了世嘉的遊戲機,我們将建構劣質技術,與Windows不相容,并且落後太多而無法趕上。

But we would be out of money if we didn't finish the contract. Either way, we would be out of business. I contacted the CEO of SEGA and explained that our invention was the wrong approach.

但是如果我們不完成合同,我們就會沒錢。 無論哪種方式,我們都會倒閉。我聯系了世嘉的首席執行官,并解釋說我們的發明是錯誤的方法。

That SEGA should find another partner. And that we could not complete the contract and the console. We had to stop. But I needed Sega to pay us in whole. Or NVIDIA would be out of business.

世嘉應該找到另一個合作夥伴。 而且我們無法完成合同和控制台。 我們不得不停下來。但我需要世嘉全額支付我們。否則英偉達就會倒閉。

I was embarrassed to ask. Irimajiri-san, the CEO of SEGA, to his credit and my amazement, agreed.

我不好意思問。世嘉的首席執行官Irimajiri-san表示同意,令我驚訝的是。

His understanding and generosity gave us six months to live. With that, we built RIVA 128. Just as we were running out of money. RIVA 128 shocked the young 3D market, put us on the map, and saved the company.

他的了解和慷慨給了我們六個月的生命。 由此,我們建造了RIVA 128。 就在我們沒錢的時候。RIVA 128震驚了年輕的3D市場,讓我們登上了地圖,拯救了公司。

The strong demand for our chip led me back to Taiwan after leaving at the age of four to meet Morris Chang at TSMC and started a partnership that has lasted 25 years. Confronting our mistake and with humility asking for help, save NVIDIA.

對我們的晶片的強烈需求使我在四歲離開台灣後回到台灣,在台積電與Morris Chang會面,并開始了持續25年的合作夥伴關系。面對我們的錯誤,謙卑地尋求幫助,拯救英偉達。

These traits are the hardest for the brightest and most successful like yourself.

對于像你這樣最聰明和最成功的人來說,這些特質是最難的。

The second story of NVIDIA: Endure pain and suffering needed to realize your dreams英偉達的第二個故事:忍受實作夢想所需的痛苦和磨難

In 2007, we announced CUDA GPU Accelerated Computing. Our aspiration was for CUDA to become a programming model that boosts applications from scientific computing and physics simulations to image processing. Creating a new computing model is incredibly hard and rarely done in history.

2007年,我們釋出了CUDA GPU加速計算。我們的願望是讓 CUDA 成為一種程式設計模型,推動從科學計算和實體模拟到圖像處理的應用。建立新的計算模型非常困難,在曆史上很少做。

The CPU computing model has been the standard for 60 years since the IBM System 360. CUDA needed developers to write applications and demonstrate the benefits of the GPU.

自 IBM System 360 問世以來,CPU 計算模型已成為标準已有 60 年的曆史。CUDA 需要開發人員編寫應用程式并展示 GPU 的優勢。

Developers needed a large installed base. A large CUDA installed base needed customers buying new applications. To solve the chicken or the egg problem, we used GeForce, our gaming GPU, which already had a large market of gamers, to build the installed base.

開發人員需要龐大的安裝基礎。 龐大的 CUDA 安裝基礎需要客戶購買新應用程式。為了解決先有雞還是先有蛋的問題,我們使用了我們的遊戲 GPU GeForce 來建立安裝基礎,該 GPU 已經擁有龐大的遊戲玩家市場。

But the added cost of CUDA was very high. NVIDIA's profits took a huge hit for many years. Our market cap hovered just above $1 billion.

但是CUDA的額外成本非常高。 英偉達的利潤多年來遭受了巨大的打擊。我們的市值徘徊在10億美元以上。

We suffered many years of poor performance. Our shareholders were skeptical of CUDA. And preferred we focused on improving profitability. But we persevered.

我們遭受了多年的糟糕表現。 我們的股東對CUDA持懷疑态度。 我們更傾向于專注于提高盈利能力。但我們堅持了下來。

We believed a time for accelerated computing would come. We created a conference called GTC and promoted CUDA tirelessly worldwide. Then the applications came.

我們相信加速計算的時代将會到來。 我們建立了一個名為GTC的會議,并在全球範圍内不知疲倦地推廣CUDA。然後應用程式來了。

Seismic processing, CT reconstruction, molecular dynamics, particle physics, fluid dynamics, and image processing. One science domain after another, they came.

地震處理、CT重建、分子動力學、粒子實體學、流體動力學和圖像處理。一個又一個科學領域,他們來了。

We worked with each developer to write their algorithms and achieved incredible speedups. Then, in 2012, AI researchers discovered CUDA.

我們與每個開發人員合作編寫他們的算法,并實作了令人難以置信的加速。然後,在 2012 年,人工智能研究人員發現了 CUDA。

The famous AlexNet trained on GeForce GTX 580 started the Big Bang of AI. Fortunately, we realized the potential of deep learning as a whole new software approach. And turned every aspect of our company to advance this new field.

在GeForce GTX 580上訓練的著名的AlexNet開啟了AI的大爆炸。幸運的是,我們意識到深度學習作為一種全新的軟體方法的潛力。并轉變了我們公司的方方面面,以推進這個新領域。

We risked everything to pursue deep learning. A decade later, the AI revolution started. And NVIDIA is the engine of AI developers worldwide.

我們冒着一切風險追求深度學習。十年後,人工智能革命開始了。NVIDIA是全球AI開發人員的引擎。

We invented CUDA and pioneered accelerated computing and AI. But the journey forged our corporate character to endure the pain and suffering that is always needed to realize a vision.

我們發明了 CUDA,并開創了加速計算和人工智能。但是,這段旅程塑造了我們的企業性格,以忍受實作願景所需的痛苦和磨難。

The third story of NVIDIA: Strategic retreat英偉達的第三個故事:戰略撤退

One more story. In 2010, Google aimed to develop Android into a mobile computer with excellent graphics.

再說一個故事。2010年,谷歌的目标是将Android開發成具有出色圖形的移動計算機。

The phone industry had chip companies with modem expertise. NVIDIA's computing and graphics expertise made us an ideal partner to help build Android. So we entered the mobile chip market.

電話行業擁有具有數據機專業知識的晶片公司。 NVIDIA 的計算和繪圖專業知識使我們成為幫助打造 Android 的理想合作夥伴。是以我們進入了移動晶片市場。

We were instantly successful. And our business and stock price surged. The competition quickly swarmed. Modem chip makers were learning how to build computing chips. And we were learning how to build modems.

我們立即成功了。 我們的業務和股價飙升。 競争迅速蜂擁而至。數據機晶片制造商正在學習如何建構計算晶片。我們正在學習如何建構數據機。

The phone market is huge. We could fight for share. Instead, we made a hard decision and sacrificed the market.

手機市場是巨大的。 我們可以争取份額。相反,我們做出了一個艱難的決定,犧牲了市場。

NVIDIA's mission is to build computers to solve problems that ordinary computers cannot. We should dedicate ourselves to realizing our vision and to making a unique contribution.

NVIDIA的使命是建構計算機來解決普通計算機無法解決的問題。 我們應該緻力于實作我們的願景并做出獨特的貢獻。

Our strategic retreat paid off. By leaving the phone market, we opened our minds to invent a new one. We imagined creating a new type of computer for robotic computers.With neural network processor, safety architectures that run AI algorithms.

我們的戰略撤退得到了回報。 通過離開手機市場,我們敞開心扉發明了一個新的手機市場。我們設想為機器人計算機創造一種新型計算機。使用神經網絡處理器,運作AI算法的安全架構。

At the time, this was a zero billion dollar market. To retreat from a giant phone market to create a zero billion dollar robotics market. We now have billions of dollars of automotive and robotics business and started a new industry. Retreat does not come easily to the brightest and most successful people like yourself.

當時,這是一個零億美元的市場。從一個巨大的手機市場撤退,創造一個價值零億美元的機器人市場。我們現在擁有數十億美元的汽車和機器人業務,并開始了一個新的行業。對于像你這樣最聰明、最成功的人來說,撤退并不容易。

Yet, strategic retreat, sacrifice, deciding what to give up, is that a core, the very core of success?

然而,戰略撤退,犧牲,決定放棄什麼,這是一個核心,成功的核心嗎?

Class of 2023, you're about to go into a world witnessing great change. And just as I was with the PC and chip revolution, you're at the beginning, at the starting line of AI. Every industry will be revolutionized. Reborn.

2023屆的同學們,你們即将進入一個見證巨大變化的世界。就像我對PC和晶片革命一樣,你正處于人工智能的起跑線上。 每個行業都将發生革命性的變化。重生。

What will you create? Whatever it is, run after it like we did. Run. Don't walk. Remember, either you're running for food, or you are running from being food.

你會創造什麼? 不管它是什麼,都要像我們一樣追趕它。 跑。 不要走路。記住,要麼你是在為食物而奔跑,要麼你在逃避成為食物。

I hope that part can be translated into Chinese so that everyone can understand.

我希望這部分可以翻譯成中文,讓每個人都能了解。

Either you're running for food, or you are running from becoming food.

要麼你為食物而奔跑,要麼你正在逃避成為食物。

And oftentimes, you can't tell which. Either way, run. And for your journey, take along some of my learnings. That you will have the humility to confront failure, admit a mistake, and ask for help.

很多時候,你無法分辨哪個。 無論哪種方式,都要跑。 對于您的旅程,請帶上我的一些知識。你将謙卑地面對失敗,承認錯誤,并尋求幫助。

You will endure pain and suffering needed to realize your dreams. And you will make sacrifices to dedicate yourself to a life of purpose and doing your life's work.
