According to Reuters, NVIDIA announced on Monday that it has acquired the artificial intelligence software company SchedMD. With intensifying market competition, NVIDIA is increasing its investment in open-source technologies, further strengthening its position in the AI ecosystem.
NVIDIA is well-known for its high-speed chips, but it is also actively expanding its presence in the AI field, offering a variety of its own AI models that cover areas such as physical simulation and autonomous driving. These models are released as open-source software for use by researchers and companies, promoting the popularization and innovation of technology. NVIDIA's CUDA software has become an industry standard, widely used by developers during the development process, which also provides important support for NVIDIA's leading position in the AI industry.
The acquired SchedMD mainly provides software that helps schedule large-scale computing tasks, which often consume significant data center server resources. Its open-source technology Slurm allows developers and companies to use it free of charge, while SchedMD generates revenue by providing engineering and maintenance support services. NVIDIA stated after the acquisition that it will continue to release SchedMD's software in an open-source manner to promote further technological development.
The announcement of this acquisition, along with the release of NVIDIA's new open-source AI models, caused its stock price to rise by 1.35%. This indicates the positive market reaction to NVIDIA's continuous investment in open-source technologies and the AI ecosystem.
