Nvidia says working with Oracle, DOE to build AI supercomputer

NVIDIA (NVDA) announced that it is working with the U.S. Department of Energy’s national labs and the nation’s leading companies to build America’s AI infrastructure to support scientific discovery, economic growth and power the next industrial revolution. “We are at the dawn of the AI industrial revolution that will define the future of every industry and nation,” said Jensen Huang, founder and CEO of NVIDIA. “It is imperative that America lead the race to the future – this is our generation’s Apollo moment. The next wave of inventions, discoveries and progress will be determined by our nation’s ability to scale AI infrastructure. Together with our partners, we are building the most advanced AI infrastructure ever created, ensuring that America has the foundation for a prosperous future, and that the world’s AI runs on American innovation, openness and collaboration, for the benefit of all.” NVIDIA is accelerating seven new systems by providing the AI infrastructure to drive scientific research and innovation at two U.S. Department of Energy facilities – Argonne National Laboratory and Los Alamos National Laboratory. NVIDIA is collaborating with Oracle (ORCL) and the DOE to build the U.S. Department of Energy’s largest AI supercomputer for scientific discovery. The Solstice system will feature 100,000 NVIDIA Blackwell GPUs and support the DOE’s mission of developing AI capabilities to drive technological leadership across U.S. security, science and energy applications. Another system, Equinox, will include 10,000 NVIDIA Blackwell GPUs expected to be available in 2026. Both systems will be located at Argonne, and will be interconnected by NVIDIA networking and deliver a combined 2,200 exaflops of AI performance. Argonne is also unveiling three powerful NVIDIA-based systems – Tara, Minerva and Janus – set to expand access to AI driven computing for researchers across the country.
