- NVIDIA GH200 chips are in the center of the Isambard-Ai supercomputer in Great Britain
- It is the fastest 11th in the world and 10 times faster than the second fastest in Great Britain
- The United Kingdom Government hopes to help the discovery of drugs and more
The most powerful the United Kingdom, Isambard-Ai, is now in full functioning in the Bristol Supercomputing Center (BRICS), with some serious Nvidia power in its nucleus.
With 21 ex-lotos of the AI performance backed by 5,448 Grace Hopper GH200 NVIDIA GH200, ISAMBARD-AI now occupies the 11th place in the list of the 500 most rapid supercomputers, which makes it one of the world leaders.
Nvidia declared that the British supercomputer is now 10 times faster than the next supercomputer in the United Kingdom, and more powerful than all the others in the United Kingdom combined.
A giant leap forward
In addition to being the eleventh supercomputer worldwide worldwide, Isambard-AI also occupies the fourth place worldwide in the Green500 list for energy efficiency, which demonstrates the progress that is made to reduce the environmental impact of AI machines and data centers.
Its ecological credentials are endless, including carbon free power, residual heat recycling and an effectiveness of power use (PUE) of less than 1.1, among the best in the world.
Build in collaboration with NVIDIA, HPE and the University of Bristol, Isambard-AI received £ 225 million in government funds in the hope that the supercomputer helps through important humanitarian problems such as drug discovery and climate modeling.
“And as we press this change to activate the most powerful supercomputer in the United Kingdom, we are embarking on the Super Future of Great Britain, where AI contributes to the provision of better public services, a greater public prosperity, a deeper scientific discovery and a stronger national security,” said the Secretary of State of the United Kingdom Peter Kyle.
Among its first projects are Nightingale AI, trained in NHS data to support previous diagnoses and personalized attention, Britllm, designed to promote inclusion and a better provision of public services in the languages of the United Kingdom, including Welsh; and the AI of UCL cancer detection for the detection of prostate cancer.
