NVIDIA Blog
Starting with the release of CUDA in 2006, NVIDIA has driven advancements in AI and accelerated computing and the most recent TOP500 list of the world’s most powerful supercomputers highlights the culmination of the company’s achievements in the field. This year, 384 systems on the TOP500 list are powered by NVIDIA technologies. Among the Read Article TOP500 total AI, FP32 and FP64 FLOPs by year.
NVIDIA-accelerated TOP500 systems excel across key metrics like AI and mix-precision system performance. With over 190 exaflops of AI performance and 17 exaflops of single-precision (FP32), NVIDIA’s accelerated computing platform is the new engine of scientific computing. NVIDIA also delivers 4 exaflops of double-precision (FP64) performance for certain scientific calculations that still require it.
Accelerated Computing Is Sustainable Computing
As the demand for computational capacity grows, so does the need for sustainability.
In the Green500 list of the world’s most energy-efficient supercomputers, systems with NVIDIA accelerated computing rank among eight of the top 10. The JEDI system at EuroHPC/FZJ, for example, achieves a staggering 72.7 gigaflops per watt, setting a benchmark for what’s possible when performance and sustainability align.
For climate forecasting, NVIDIA announced at SC24 two new NVIDIA NIM microservices for NVIDIA Earth-2, a digital twin platform for simulating and visualizing weather and climate conditions. The CorrDiff NIM and FourCastNet NIM microservices can accelerate climate change modeling and simulation results by up to 500x.
In a world increasingly conscious of its environmental footprint, NVIDIA’s innovations in accelerated computing balance high performance with energy efficiency to help realize a brighter, more sustainable future.
