Brain‑Inspired Chips Are Solving Supercomputer Math—And They’re Doing It on a Latte‑Budget Power Bill When I first saw a neuromorphic chip on a lab bench, it looked a bit like a futuristic LEGO brick—tiny metal pins jutting out, a maze of wires that seemed more at home in a biology textbook than a data center. My first thought? “Cool toy, but can it actually do the heavy lifting that a mountain‑range‑sized supercomputer does?” ...
Key Highlights Over 80 new scientific systems powered by NVIDIA accelerated computing platform have been unveiled globally in the last year America’s largest academic supercomputer, the 300-petaflop Horizon system, is set to accelerate breakthroughs in science and engineering NVIDIA-accelerated supercomputers are fueling research in areas such as healthcare, weather and climate modeling, robotics, and materials science The world of research is undergoing a significant transformation, driven by the increasing adoption of accelerated computing. This move reflects broader industry trends, where researchers are leveraging the power of artificial intelligence (AI) and high-performance computing to tackle complex problems. At the forefront of this revolution is NVIDIA, whose accelerated computing platform is being used to power a new wave of supercomputers around the globe. ...
