Nvidia has developed a technology to verify the geographical location of its chips, identifying the country where they are operating. This step helps prevent the smuggling of the company's artificial intelligence chips to countries under export restrictions. This feature, which Nvidia has showcased in recent months but has not yet released, will be an optional software update that customers can install. The software is designed to allow customers to track the overall computing performance of the chip; a common practice among companies that purchase fleets of processors for large data centers. It will utilize the latency of the computations performed by its graphics processing units (GPUs).
