NVIDIA. NVIDIA announced a $1 billion, five-year commitment to AI-driven scientific research, focused on what it calls super intelligence for science and on quantum computing, at the Science: A New Golden Age event in Washington, D.C. The funding will go to US higher-education research institutions, US quantum computing efforts, and cloud service providers that support government missions, and ties into the Genesis Mission, where NVIDIA is an industry partner and a collaborator on phase 2 awards in quantum computing, fusion, accelerator design, and microelectronics. NVIDIA also noted it is building the Department of Energy’s largest scientific supercomputer at Argonne National Laboratory and supporting seven new systems across Argonne and Los Alamos. Source
