NVIDIA joins US Government's Genesis mission
NVIDIA signs an MOU with the U.S. Department of Energy to support AI infrastructure and research.
NVIDIA is set to join the US Department of Energy’s Genesis Mission as a private industry partner to boost AI infrastructure and research.
The chip-maker behind most AI platforms, in an announcement, said it has signed a memorandum of understanding with the DOE to outline collaboration priorities aimed at accelerating scientific discovery.
Nvidia said the MOU covers AI for manufacturing and supply chains, open-source AI, fission and fusion energy, robotics, AI-enabled digital twins and quantum computing.
DOE officials expect the Genesis Mission to double the productivity and impact of American science and engineering and deliver breakthroughs in energy, scientific discovery and national security.
The announcement highlighted work on open AI science models, including the NVIDIA Apollo family for weather forecasting, computational fluid dynamics and structural mechanics, and cited robotics, edge AI, autonomous laboratories, nuclear research, quantum computing, and materials and biology applications as areas of focus.
NVIDIA said its support builds on collaborations disclosed at the NVIDIA GTC Washington, D.C., conference, including a project with Oracle to build the Department’s largest supercomputer for scientific research at Argonne National Laboratory and plans to support seven new systems across Argonne and Los Alamos National Laboratories.
The Recap
- NVIDIA joins the DOE Genesis Mission as industry partner.
- NVIDIA will support seven new systems at national labs.
- MOU outlines AI, fusion, quantum and manufacturing priorities.
