Data Centers at Scale in the Age of Accelerated Computing
Tuesday, April 15, 2025
Walter E. Washington Convention Center
The rise of AI is reshaping the data center landscape, creating a demand for faster, more energy-efficient facilities capable of supporting 100,000 GPUs or more. In this keynote, Marc Hamilton, Vice President of Solutions Architecture and Engineering, explores how NVIDIA is tackling this challenge with innovative approaches, including digital twin technology. This powerful tool enables comprehensive modeling of data center infrastructure, from cooling systems to resource allocation, helping operators optimize designs, reduce energy consumption, and bring data centers online in weeks rather than years.
Marc will delve into how NVIDIA’s digital twin simulations empower data centers to enhance operational efficiency through holistic energy management. Attendees will learn how scalable design and precise planning have enabled them to set up high-performance centers in as little as 19 days and how these innovations support the faster, more efficient deployment needed to meet AI-driven market demands.
He will reveal advancements in rack-level supercomputing designed to optimize energy use and processing power across next-gen facilities. Attend this keynote to discover how NVIDIA’s strategic focus on accelerated computing and holistic energy solutions drives the data center industry toward unprecedented efficiency, speed, and sustainability.
