NVIDIA News, Tuesday, October 31,2023
Britain's most powerful supercomputer by far will use NVIDIA Grace Hopper Superchips to ground its global ambitions in machine learning.
The home of the first industrial revolution just made a massive investment in the next one.
The U.K. government has announced it will spend 225 million UK pounds ($273 million) to build one of the world's fastest AI supercomputers.
Called Isambard-AI, it's the latest in a series of systems named after a legendary 19th century British engineer and hosted by the University of Bristol. When fully installed next year, it will pack 5,448 NVIDIA GH200 Grace Hopper Superchips to deliver a whopping 21 exaflops of AI performance for researchers across the country and beyond.
