なんおお問題もんだいあたら未来みらいかんがつず

While facing many major problems, he continued thinking about the future of computers.

今回こんかいかれ人生じんせいNVIDIA成長せいちょう

This time, let us look at his life and how NVIDIA grew.

Chapter 1

台湾たいわんからアメリカへ

1963ねん台湾たいわん台南たいなん

He was born in Tainan, Taiwan, in 1963.

うつ9さいあに一緒いっしょしゅう学校がっこう生活せいかつはじ

He moved to the United States as a child, and at age nine, he and his older brother began living at a school in Kentucky.

At first, he could not speak English well, and life in the new environment was not easy.

家族かぞく一緒いっしょしゅう

Later, he began living with his family in Oregon.

高校こうこう卒業そつぎょうしゅうりつ大学だいがくまな

After high school, he studied electrical engineering at Oregon State University.

かれ大学だいがくふかまな

Because he loved computers, he began studying how they worked in depth at university.

卒業そつぎょうつく会社かいしゃはたら

After graduating, he worked for a company that made computer semiconductors.

仕事しごと勉強べんきょうつずのち大学だいがく電気でんき工学こうがく

He continued studying while working and later earned a master's degree in electrical engineering from Stanford University.

すこ世界せかい経験けいけん

Little by little, he gained experience in the world of computers.

Chapter 2

レストランからはじまった会社かいしゃ

1993ねん30さいおお

In 1993, at the age of thirty, he made a major decision.

会社かいしゃ二人ふたり仲間なかまあたら会社かいしゃつく

He left his job and decided to start a new company with two partners.

さんにんDennysなんはな

The three of them held many discussions at the American restaurant Denny's.

じつかれ15さい仕事しごと経験けいけん

In fact, when he was fifteen, he had worked at that restaurant washing dishes.

場所ばしょ今度こんど自分じぶん会社かいしゃかんが

Now, in that same place, he found himself thinking about a company of his own.

当時とうじひろ

At the time, personal computers were spreading rapidly.

3D映像えいぞううごたか必要ひつよう

However, displaying beautiful 3D game graphics required much greater computing power.

さんにん映像えいぞうはやうつく技術ぎじゅつつくかんが

So the three decided to create technology that would make computer graphics faster and more beautiful.

NVIDIAはじ

This was how NVIDIA began.

あたら会社かいしゃつく成功せいこう

However, starting a new company did not mean that success came immediately.

おな技術ぎじゅつつく会社かいしゃ

Many other companies were also trying to develop similar technology.

のこ他社たしゃすぐつく必要ひつよう

To survive, NVIDIA needed to make products that were better than those of its competitors.

Chapter 3

会社かいしゃがなくなるかもしれない

最初さいしょつく製品せいひん期待きたい

Its first product did not sell as well as expected.

会社かいしゃえら技術ぎじゅつ方向ほうこうおお問題もんだい

There was also a major problem with the technological direction the company had chosen.

NVIDIA日本にほん会社がいしゃSEGA仕事しごと

Around that time, NVIDIA began working with the Japanese video game company SEGA.

SEGAあたら使つか技術ぎじゅつ

It was developing graphics technology for use in SEGA's new game console.

開発かいはつすす自分じぶん技術ぎじゅつ

However, as development continued, the team realized that its technology would not work.

会社かいしゃのこかねすくNVIDIA

The company had little money left, and NVIDIA itself was in danger of disappearing.

SEGA開発かいはつつずつた

Jensen Huang told SEGA that NVIDIA could not continue the development.

当時とうじSEGA経営けいえいかか入交いりまじりしょう一郎いちろうNVIDIA技術ぎじゅつりょくしん

Even so, Shoichiro Irimajiri, who was involved in SEGA's management at the time, believed in NVIDIA's technical ability and future potential.

やく500まん会社かいしゃささ

SEGA then supported the company with about five million dollars in funding.

NVIDIAのこおおたす

This support became a major help in keeping NVIDIA alive.

方法ほうほうあたら技術ぎじゅつおお方向ほうこう

After that, the company abandoned its previous approach and made a major change in direction toward new technology.

危険きけん選択せんたく

This was a very risky choice.

あたら製品せいひんつく時間じかんかね必要ひつよう

Creating a new product required both time and money.

いま方法ほうほう間違まちがみとえら

Even so, rather than clinging to the old approach, the company chose to admit its mistake and change.

あたら製品せいひん成功せいこう会社かいしゃすこ成長せいちょう

The new graphics product succeeded, and the company gradually began to grow.

1999ねんおお

Then, in 1999, a major turning point arrived.

NVIDIAGeForce 256製品せいひん発表はっぴょう

NVIDIA announced a product called the GeForce 256.

会社かいしゃあたら種類しゅるいGPU

The company called this new type of component a GPU.

GPU計算けいさん同時どうじおこな得意とくい部品ぶひん

A GPU is a computer component that is good at performing many calculations at the same time.

技術ぎじゅつ映像えいぞううつく

This technology made video game graphics even more beautiful and complex.

Chapter 4

ゲームのためだけではない

NVIDIAながあいだ映像えいぞうつく会社かいしゃ

For many years, NVIDIA was known as a company that created graphics for video games.

GPUおおかんが

However, Jensen Huang and his team believed that GPUs had much greater potential.

映像えいぞうつく非常ひじょうおお計算けいさんみじか時間じかんおこな必要ひつよう

Creating game graphics requires an enormous number of calculations in a short time.

ちから以外いがい使つかかんが

They wondered whether this power could be used for something other than games.

2006ねんNVIDIACUDA技術ぎじゅつ発表はっぴょう

In 2006, NVIDIA introduced a technology called CUDA.

開発かいはつしゃGPU計算けいさん使つか

This made it easier for researchers and developers to use GPUs for many kinds of calculations.

当時とうじかんがかた重要じゅうよう

At the time, however, no one knew just how important this idea would become.

おおかね技術ぎじゅつ

It was not a technology that immediately generated large profits.

会社かいしゃなが時間じかん開発かいはつつず

Even so, the company continued developing it over many years.

決断けつだんのちNVIDIA未来みらいおお

This decision would later transform NVIDIA's future.

Chapter 5

AIとの出会であ

2012ねん世界せかいおお出来事できごと

In 2012, a major event occurred in the world of computers.

研究けんきゅうしゃ画像がぞうなにうつAIつく

Researchers created an AI system that could look at an image and identify what was in it.

AI学習がくしゅうNVIDIAGPU使つか

NVIDIA GPUs were used to train that AI.

GPUAI必要ひつよう計算けいさんはやおこな

GPUs could quickly perform the many calculations required by AI.

映像えいぞう成長せいちょう技術ぎじゅつAI役立やくだ

Technology originally developed for video game graphics proved useful for AI as well.

NVIDIAおお

From this point on, NVIDIA's role began to change dramatically.

研究けんきゅう分野ぶんやGPU使つか

GPUs came to be used not only for games but also in research, data centers, autonomous driving, and many other fields.

2020ねんだいはい文章ぶんしょう画像がぞうつく急速きゅうそくひろ

Then, in the 2020s, generative AI that creates text and images spread rapidly.

AIつくおお計算けいさん能力のうりょく必要ひつよう

Building this kind of AI also requires enormous computing power.

ながあいだ開発かいはつGPU技術ぎじゅつAI時代じだい重要じゅうよう

The GPU technology NVIDIA had developed over many years became essential in the age of AI.

Chapter 6

NVIDIAつく1993ねん

NVIDIA was founded in 1993.

30ねん以上いじょうおな会社かいしゃCEOつず

Jensen Huang has remained CEO of the same company for more than thirty years.

In recent years, it has worked with Japanese companies such as SoftBank to develop large-scale computer infrastructure for AI in Japan.

2026ねん東京とうきょうおとず会社かいしゃくる時代じだいたすSEGAあらた感謝かんしゃつた

In 2026, Huang visited Tokyo and once again expressed his gratitude to SEGA for helping NVIDIA during its difficult early years.

やく30ねんまえ日本にほんいまつず

The connection with Japan that began about thirty years ago continues today.

会社かいしゃ成長せいちょう理由りゆうひといまさき必要ひつよう技術ぎじゅつかんが

One reason the company was able to grow is that it looked beyond what was selling at the moment and considered what technology would be needed next.

未来みらい予想よそう

Of course, it could not predict the future perfectly.

失敗しっぱい製品せいひん会社かいしゃあぶ時期じき

Some products failed, and there were times when the company was in danger.

間違まちが方向ほうこうあたら技術ぎじゅつ必要ひつようおも結果けっか開発かいはつつず

Even so, when the company realized it was wrong, it changed direction, and when it believed a new technology was needed, it continued development even without immediate results.

成功せいこう時間じかん会社かいしゃつよ必要ひつよう

Perhaps both success and difficult periods were necessary to make the company stronger.
