US EditionMexico unveils plan to build Latin America’s biggest supercomputer
Construction of Coatlicue, costing $326.6 million, will start in January and aims to boost AI and public-sector computing with 314 petaflops capacity.
- Mexico unveiled plans Wednesday to build what it claims will be Latin America's most powerful supercomputer, officials saying it will be seven times more powerful than Pegaso, privately owned Brazilian supercomputer.
- Officials said the project aims to let Mexico fully get in on artificial intelligence and process data it currently lacks capacity to handle amid a global race to build ever-faster supercomputers.
- Construction will begin in January, last 24 months, and cost six billion pesos , with Coatlicue planned as a 314-petaflop supercomputer.
- Officials envision the machine serving public users and researchers for climate prediction, crop planning, water, oil and energy projects, with President Claudia Sheinbaum saying, `We want it to be a public supercomputer, a supercomputer for the people`.
- Officials acknowledge Coatlicue will trail exascale machines like El Capitan, operated by the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, while Europe recently unveiled Jupiter in the international high-performance computing competition.
