Well-known Digital Marketing Agency, The US Department of Energy is set to build two new GPU-accelerated supercomputers, codenamed ‘Summit’ and ‘Sierra.’ Using Nvidia GPUs and IBM POWER, the two will be considerably faster than Tianhe-2, currently the world’s most powerful system, developed by China’s National University of Defense Technology.
It is hoped that that experiments conducted with the aid of these impressive machines will lead to greater US energy independence, help find new approaches to curbing climate change, improving fuel efficiencies and predicting natural disasters.
Jen-Hsun Huang, CEO and co-founder of NVIDIA said: “Today’s science is tomorrow’s technology. Scientists are tackling massive challenges from quantum to global to galactic scales. Their work relies on increasingly more powerful supercomputers. Through the invention of GPU acceleration, we have paved the path to exascale supercomputing – giving scientists a tool for unimaginable discoveries.”
