Quote: One researcher responded that his work would make a specific computing process five percent faster. “And I said, ‘Quit right now because that’s just not going to make a difference,’” Dally says. “That’s part of the ethos I picked up at Caltech: Don’t do little things.”
Years before AI transformed the tech industry, Nvidia's Bill Dally (PhD '86) saw the potential of GPUs. From his Caltech PhD research to Nvidia's AI hardware, Dally’s career has been guided by one Caltech lesson: don’t do little things.
