Ada Lovelace: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 40 Series GPU officially confirmed to be Ada Lovelace

Ada Lovelace will be honoured as the name of the next-generation gaming GPU architecture for the GeForce RTX 40 series, according to NVIDIA. The confirmation can be found in a brand-new teaser shared on Twitter by NVIDIA’s Australia and New Zealand account. A picture of “Numbers of Bernoulli” and the phrase “The future has a past” are displayed in the teaser. Ada Lovelace created the famous algorithm in 1842 and it was used for the Analytical Engine.

Even though the Ada Lovelace architecture is well known, it’s still amazing to see NVIDIA drawing inspiration from the scientists who helped shape the computer world we currently inhabit. In the upcoming months, a range of GeForce RTX 40 series graphics cards, including the RTX 4090 flagship, will be powered by the Ada Lovelace GPUs.

One could consider Ada Lovelace to be the first computer enthusiast in history.

She was the first to see that Charles Babbage’s Analytical Engine had uses beyond simple computation and she wrote what is believed to be the first algorithm meant to be carried by such a machine (becoming the first computer programmer). Before Alan Turing completed their work and created the general-purpose computer during World War II, it had been approximately 50 years.

Ada Lovelace follows in the tradition of other notable physicists, mathematicians, and scientists on whom NVIDIA has based its architectures. Ada Lovelace and possibly all future architectural codenames from NVIDIA can be found among the heroes displayed at the GTC 2018 keynote.
