Europe Announces Deployment of 35 NVIDIA AI Supercomputers to Build Largest AI Computing Power Expansion in the Region

BlockBeats News, June 22, NVIDIA announced that Europe is building or deploying 35 AI and HPC supercomputers, covering 23 countries and research institutions, becoming the largest supercomputer expansion plan in Europe within a year.

The batch of systems is based on NVIDIA's Blackwell and Hopper architecture, combined with the CUDA-X, NVIDIA NIM, and AI Enterprise software stack, supporting fields such as climate science, medical research, clean energy, and quantum computing. Official data shows that the related infrastructure will serve over 3 million researchers.

NVIDIA stated that its AI infrastructure has supported over 90% of AI factory construction in Europe, with a cumulative deployment or planning of about 800 AI exaflops of computing power.

In specific projects, institutions such as the Barcelona Supercomputing Center, German HLRS, Italy's CINECA, Sweden's NAISS, among others, are advancing the construction of NVIDIA GPU-based AI factories, with some systems reaching tens of exaflops in training and inference performance.

Furthermore, the plan also includes collaboration with Siemens Energy in hydrogen gas turbine research and quantum-GPU fusion computing research based on the CUDA-Q platform.

NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang stated that AI is becoming a "new scientific instrument" that will help researchers accelerate complex system simulations and scientific discoveries.
