NVIDIA is the leader in computer graphics and parallel processing technologies.  We invented the GPU, originally designed for the most parallel of applications, 3D Graphics.  The GPU is now a parallel processor for a wide range of mathematically intensive applications including image processing, physics, fluid dynamics, financial modeling, and finite element analysis.

As a result, NVIDIA leads two important fields of computer science:

Visual Computing – the art and science of using computers to visualize complex information

GPGPU (or GPU Computing) – the use of the GPU in a wide range of complex mathematical algorithms
