SKT-NVIDIA Begin Joint Research on Autonomous Vehicles
Published2017.05.15 13:55Full-Scale Research on Technology for Organic Communication with Control Centers
SK Telecom announced that it has concluded a strategic agreement with NVIDIA on autonomous driving and has begun joint technology development.
Through the agreement, the two companies decided to collaborate in various fields including ▲production of 3D ultra-precision maps (HD Map), a core autonomous vehicle technology ▲vehicle communication (V2X, etc.) based on next-generation networks such as 5G ▲autonomous driving platform serving as the 'brain', and other areas.
SK Telecom's technology will be combined with NVIDIA's hardware and software for deep learning and inference, including vehicle-mounted artificial intelligence computers (NVIDIA Drive PX2) and artificial intelligence supercomputers (NVIDIA DGX-1).
To date, autonomous vehicles have evolved as standalone systems based on sensors and cameras mounted on vehicles. With the two companies' agreement, it is expected that technology enabling autonomous vehicles to operate while communicating organically (Connected) between vehicles, between vehicles and control centers/Internet of Things will be researched in earnest.
Furthermore, through the cooperation of the two companies, a global 'autonomous driving collaborative ecosystem' is expected to be established. SK Telecom is currently conducting joint research on autonomous driving technology with global automakers, telecommunications operators, manufacturers, organizations and academia, and plans to expand the autonomous driving ecosystem through collaboration with NVIDIA and its partners.
SK Telecom President Park Jeong-ho stated, "Autonomous driving technology is a field that must be proactively secured from the perspective of national competitiveness," and added, "Based on the technological capabilities we possess, we will proceed with building an autonomous driving ecosystem through mutual openness and cooperation."

NVIDIA Accelerates Graphics Work Speed with Artificial Intelligence
NVIDIA announced that it is accelerating graphics work speed by applying artificial intelligence to Ray Tracing. Jensen Huang, NVIDIA's founder and CEO, demonstrated during the keynote speech at NVIDIA's GPU Technology Conference how applying artificial intelligence to ray tracing advances iterative design processes and enables accurate prediction of final rendering. Ray Tracing is a technology that uses complex mathematics to realistically simulate how lighting interacts with surfaces in a specific space. While the ray tracing process generates highly realistic images, it is a computationally intensive task that can leave slight noise in the image. The process of removing this noise while maintaining fine edge processing and texture is called Denoising in the industry.

NVIDIA improves Mental Ray features for 3ds Max
Nvidia announced new feature improvements to Mental Ray for 3ds Max at the Nvidia GPU Technology Conference. The new Mental Ray for 3ds Max, provided free of charge by Nvidia, includes workflow updates and enhanced MDL (Material Definition Language) support capabilities in addition to existing features used by 3ds Max users. Additionally, through convenient GI-Next global illumination, it achieves rendering up to 7 times faster when using high-end GPUs. 3ds Max users can leverage supported processors in their machines to create diverse scenes and renderings with Nvidia Mental Ray regardless of resolution. Mental Ray also provides complete backward compatibility for all features and data. A license is required only for network rendering.

Databricks Unveils Open AI Security Monitoring 'Lakewatch'
Databricks entered the security market on March 24 by unveiling LakeWatch, an open-source agentic SIEM. The core functionality of this product is to integrate and analyze security, IT, and business data in a single environment to support AI-based threat detection and investigation. The company explained that it reduces the limitations of existing security operations centers, which have had to forgo some data due to high cost structures, and enables large-scale data analysis and automation based on open formats and ecosystems. LakeWatch is currently offered as a private preview, with Adobe and Dropbox mentioned as early customers. Databricks also announced an expanded partnership with Anthropic as well as the acquisition of Antimatter and SiftD.ai.
