October 27th.DenmarkLaunched the country's first AI supercomputerNamed after Gefion, a goddess in Danish mythology, the program aims to promote breakthroughs in areas such as quantum computing, clean energy, and biotechnology.NvidiaCEO Jen-Hsun Huang attended the unveiling ceremony along with the King of Denmark.
The Gefion is a computer that is powered by the 1528 NVIDIA H100 Tensor Core GPU driven NVIDIA DGX SuperPOD supercomputers, interconnected using the NVIDIA Quantum-2 InfiniBand network.
The Gefion AI supercomputer is located in Copenhagen and serves industry, startups and academia.
Jen-Hsun Huang mentioned, "The new era of computer-aided drug discovery is bound to arrive within this decade. I hope that the same great impact that computers have had on the technology industry will also happen in the field of digital biology."
The Danish Meteorological Institute (DMI) is piloting a program that hopes to provide more accurate weather forecasts faster.Gefion is expected to reduce prediction time from hours to minutes compared to traditional methods, while dramatically reducing energy consumption.
Researchers at the University of Copenhagen are using the Gefion supercomputer to perform massively distributed simulations of quantum computer circuits. The Gefion supercomputer enables the simulation system to go from 36 to 40 entangled quantum bits, which puts it close to what is known as "quantum hegemony" or significantly better performance than conventional computers using fewer resources.
