US EditionUS supercomputer named after Nobel laureate Jennifer Doudna to power AI and scientific research
- On Thursday, Chris Wright, the U.S. Energy Secretary, revealed plans for a new supercomputer named Doudna to be installed at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory.
- The project follows DOE's tradition of naming systems after Nobel laureates and aims to advance AI and scientific research using Nvidia and Dell technologies.
- Doudna, powered by NVIDIA Vera Rubin GPUs and Dell infrastructure, will support over 11,000 researchers in genomics, physics, and AI with enhanced computing performance.
- Jensen Huang, CEO of Nvidia, described Doudna as a "time machine for science" that accelerates research by turning years of work into days and offers researchers nearly instant access to data and workflows.
- The system is expected to launch next year and aims to boost U.S. leadership in science, AI, and energy innovation while reducing discovery times.
