Creating the 'world's most powerful' AI-capable supercomputer

摘要

The Swiss National Supercomputing Centre (CSCS), Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) and NVIDIA have announced that they are creating what is expected to be the world's most powerful AI-capable supercomputer. Planned to come online in 2023, the 'Alps' system infrastructure will replace CSCS's existing Piz Daint supercomputer and serve as a general-purpose system open to the broad community of researchers in Switzerland and the rest of the world. It is expected to enable breakthrough research on a wide range of fields, including climate and weather, materials sciences, astrophysics, computational fluid dynamics, life sciences, molecular dynamics, quantum chemistry and particle physics, as well as domains like economics and social sciences.
