## Resource

NVIDIA, the Silicon Valley-based company SPAN and a major homebuilder recently announced a partnership to deploy mini-data centers at homes around the US. By using existing grid capacity, the companies hope to close the speed-to-power gap by building networks of distributed compute capacity while cutting power costs for homeowners. Join host David Sandalow as he explores this exciting and innovative idea with Arch Rao, founder and CEO of SPAN.    Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
