Nvidia-powered supercomputer to enable quantum leap for Taiwan’s research
1 min read
Summary
Taiwan’s National Center for High-Performance Computing’s (NCHC) new supercomputer is set to go live by the end of the year and will deliver more than eight times the artificial intelligence (AI) performance of its predecessor, according to Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang.
The supercomputer will feature over 1,700 Nvidia GPUs and will support projects such as Taiwan AI RAP, which offers customised AI models for local cultural and linguistic tasks.
The NCHC supercomputer will serve to advance climate science, sovereign AI and quantum innovation.
Researchers in Taiwan are also using Nvidia’s CUDA-Q platform and cuQuantum library to develop quantum machine learning.
It is hoped that the new computer will foster greater technological autonomy in Taiwan and help it to become a global leader in AI.
