Nvidia and Hewlett Packard Enterprise announced their partnership with Germany’s Leibniz Supercomputing Centre to develop the next-generation supercomputer Blue Lion at a Hamburg conference on Tuesday.
The Blue Lion supercomputer will employ Nvidia’s upcoming Vera Rubin chips and scientists will access the system during early 2027 according to their announcement. The announcement about the Lawrence Berkeley National Lab follows Nvidia’s recent agreement to supply its chips for a separate system that will become operational in the following year.
The German supercomputer Jupiter achieved European speed leadership status after Nvidia announced its official status. European institutions demonstrate their ability to match US advancements in cutting-edge computing through these partnerships which support scientific fields including climate research and biotechnology.
Nvidia started its scientific journey before becoming an AI leader while it now dedicates its chips to solve complex modeling problems. The new German system demonstrates the company’s ongoing commitment to this initiative.
The global competition in AI and supercomputing drives Nvidia to strengthen its research partnerships because this strategy will establish its leadership in advanced computing and drive future breakthroughs.
