Reach New Scientific Heights

Predicting weather. Discovering drugs. Finding new energy sources. With performance that can reach—and even exceed—petascale performance, supercomputing gives researchers the power they need to simulate and predict our world. Improving productivity and increasing the number of scientific simulations can have a profound impact on the quantity and quality of their scientific breakthroughs.

Powering the World’s Fastest Supercomputers

Today, NVIDIA powers the fastest supercomputers in the U.S. and Europe, as well as some of the most advanced systems under construction. In the U.S., Oak Ridge National Labs (ORNL) has introduced Summit, the world’s smartest supercomputer. Summit fuses high-performance computing (HPC) and AI  to deliver over 200 petaFLOPS of double-precision computing for HPC and 3 exaFLOPS of mixed-precision computing to accelerate scientific discovery.
