"The partnership, first reported by Reuters on Monday, will ensure the U.S. government has the necessary computing power to accommodate enormous amounts of data-and could deliver about three times the AI capacity of current supercomputers. The artificial intelligence-powered supercomputers could be deployed for advancing nuclear power and replicating fusion-the process that fuels the sun and creates massive amounts of energy."
"The forthcoming AI supercomputers at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) will be part of a new public-private partnership model. to help expand the U.S.'s leadership in scientific computing, strengthen national security, and drive the next generation of science and innovation. "Winning the AI race requires new and creative partnerships that will bring together the brightest minds and industries American technology and science has to offer," said U.S. Secretary of Energy Chris Wright said in a statement."
The U.S. Department of Energy has struck a $1 billion deal with Advanced Micro Systems (AMD) to build two supercomputers with unprecedented power to accelerate scientific advances from nuclear power to cancer treatments. The machines could deliver roughly three times the AI capacity of current supercomputers and handle enormous data volumes. The systems will be deployed at Oak Ridge National Laboratory as part of a new public-private partnership to expand U.S. leadership in scientific computing, strengthen national security, and drive innovation. The supercomputers could aid nuclear and fusion research, manage nuclear arsenals, and accelerate drug discovery to make many cancers manageable.
