Welcome to Reshaping Workflows with dell Pro Max PCs and Nvidia, where innovation meets real world impact in high performance computing.

Hello. Welcome back to another exciting episode of Reshaping Workflows with Dell Pro Max and Nvidia RTX Pro GPUs. I'm your host, Logan Mahler. Today we have a very special guest you've probably seen from a partner standpoint. We talk about Nvidia on this because it's very important into basically the software and the GPU ecosystem within our Dell Promax products. But today we have an industry expert. One of my favorite people to talk to at Nvidia, Sean Young. But I won't steal his thunder. Sean, if you could do quick introduction, tell everyone a little bit about your role at Nvidia and background and then we'll jump right into the interview. Yeah.

Hey everybody and thanks, Logan. My name is Sean Young and I lead AEC and Geospatial go to market at Nvidia. And I have a background in AC visualization, 3D, et cetera, and manufacturing as well for the last 25 years. And what's going on today is AI. It's all about AI. I'm looking forward to talking to you about that.
B (1:17)
Awesome. Thank you, Sean. So if you've listened to any of our previous episodes, you know, Sama came on Basalam Bali from Nvidia. She is on kind of Sean Young's industry team. So let's start it off kind of high level and then we'll get down deeper as we, we go into the conversation. Sean, so you said you lead kind of aec. I use the term aco, but they're, they're interchangeable in Geospatial. Can you just set the context and kind of define what AEC is? And geospatial is for the audience out there that maybe doesn't know.
A (1:44)
Yeah, sure. Architecture, industry, Architecture, engineering and construction industry. And that encompasses all the architecture services firms, engineering services firms and general contractors, et cetera. Building our built environment that includes buildings and infrastructure like airports and highways and dams and you name it. Geospatial is an integral part of that and extends beyond it. So geospatial is management of land resources, includes all sorts of technology like Earth's earth observation data coming from satellites and gis. And the O part is operations and that stands for asset or building operations. And that's what happens once the things thing is built. So for example, if you have a stadium or airport, there's lots of technology deployed on a day to day Basis to operate the building, or we use the term asset for things that are more civil engineering in nature, like a bridge.

As you can see, Sean's got a ton of expertise in AEC and all that kind of comes along with it. So thanks for defining that. In this show, we talk about accelerating workflows, and traditionally we'll get into the AI piece later, but traditionally, a lot of people you've seen on this episodes is we talk about kind of an industry, and then let's say media, entertainment, and then an isv, which is an independent software vendor. Let's say Adobe or, you know, Houdini. Side effects. It doesn't matter. The list goes on and on. But that is really what Dell Pro, Max and AVE are really traditional are accelerating those workflows within those traditional isv. So within AECO and Geospatial. Sean, what are some of the major kind of ISVs and their functions within that industry like? And I know there's tons, but maybe hit the top two or three.
