- NVIDIA GH200 fleas are at the heart of the British supercomputer Isambard-Ai
- It is the fastest 11th in the world, and 10x faster than the fastest second in Britain
- The British government hopes that this will help the discovery of drugs and more
The most powerful IA supercomputer in the United Kingdom, Isambard-Ai, is now fully operational at the Bristol Center for SuperComputing (BRICS), with serious Nvidia power to its heart.
With 21 performance exaflops AI supported by 5,448 NVIDIA GH200 Grace Hopper Superchips, Isambard-Ai now ranks 11th on the list of 500 superiors of the fastest supervisors, making it one of the world leaders.
NVIDIA said British supercomputer is now 10 times faster than the next British supercomputer, and more powerful than all the others in the UK combined.
A giant leap forward
In addition to being the 11th fastest supercaluler in the world, Isambard-Ai is also classified fourth worldwide on the Green500 list for energy efficiency, demonstrating the progress made to reduce the environmental impact of AI machines and data centers.
Its eco -credits are endless, including carbon -free power, waste heat recycling and energy use efficiency (stinking) of less than 1.1 – among the best in the world.
Building in collaboration with Nvidia, HPE and the University of Bristol, Isambard-Ai received 225 million pounds of government funding in the hope that the supercomputer would contribute to important humanitarian issues such as the discovery of drugs and climate modeling.
“And while we press this switch to activate the most powerful supercomputer in the United Kingdom, we are embarking on the British super future where AI contributes to the provision of better public services, greater public prosperity, a deeper scientific discovery and stronger national security,” said British Secretary of State Peter Kyle.
Among its first projects were Nightingale IA, trained on NHS data to support previous diagnostics and personalized care, Britllm, designed to promote inclusiveness and better provision of public services in the United Kingdom’s languages, including Welsh; And screening for UCL IA cancer for detecting prostate cancer.
