Huang Renxun (Jen-Hsun Huang, born 1963 in Taipei) was known as an engineer, a philanthroper and an entrepreneur.
Huang is the co-founder and CEO of graphics processing technology company Nvidia. Under Huang's leadership, Nvidia moved the graphics card into the center of computing drive chain and extended the company's touch to design of communication interfaces beyond graphics processing. Nvidia enabled supercomputers took top spots on the top500 charts with lower cost and higher energy efficiency.
Huang set up Jen-Hsun Huang School of Engineering Center at Stanford University with a $30 million gift. Huang was awarded an honorable doctoral degree from his alma mater Oregon State University in 2009.
In many ways, Huang reminds us of An Wang (1920-1990), a pioneer in personal computing and specialized in word processing.
