Extreme Co-Design: Building the AI Factory | Kevin Deierling, SVP Networking, NVIDIA | Computex 2026
In this keynote from the Computex Forum in Taipei, NVIDIA SVP of Networking Kevin Deierling breaks down what it actually takes to build an AI factory — and why extreme co-design across the entire data center stack is the only way to deliver the tokens the agentic AI era demands.
Deierling opens with three converging transformations reshaping computing: the decades-long shift to accelerated computing, the explosion of generative AI, and the rise of agentic reasoning. Together, they're forcing a complete rearchitecture of the data center — from a cost center into a token revenue generator.
Using Jensen Huang's "5-layer cake" framework, he walks through how NVIDIA co-designs across every layer:
Energy — AI training workloads create dramatic power spikes. NVIDIA's DSX software smooths energy demand, enabling 40% more GPUs per gigawatt — and 40% more token revenue.
Chips — NVIDIA's 7 co...
