A £225m supercomputer is using artificial intelligence (AI) to develop new drugs and vaccines. When it is fully operational this summer, the Isambard-AI computer in Bristol will be the most powerful supercomputer in the UK.

The new artificial intelligence framework, called DIMON (Diffeomorphic Mapping Operator Learning), isn’t restricted by any single shape or scenario. Instead, it learns how solutions behave across different geometries, allowing it to quickly predict answers to problems that once demanded days of continuous number crunching.

Nvidia offers a range of similar devices in the same accessibility style. In December, it announced a $249 version of its Jetson computer for AI applications, targeting hobbyists and startups, called the Jetson Orin Nano Super.

The Isambard-AI Supercomputer located at the National Composites Center in Bristol, UK, aims to be the one of the fastest 10 supercomputers in the world.

The rising demand for computing power to support AI workloads has fueled rapid growth in the market for high-powered servers. It is a lucrative business for firms like Dell, Supermicro, and Hewlett Packard Enterprise, who have all seen increased demand for their high-performance server products in recent years.

UK took the world by storm with the introduction of its latest supercomputer!As per BBC, a 225 million pounds’ supercomputer would be using artificial intelligence to develop new drugs and vaccines. The Isambard-AI computer is set to

"That has made the Detroit Lions' path to the Super Bowl more straightforward, and the BetVictor Canada supercomputer has given them a 20 percent chance of reaching the season showpiece in New Orleans.

Nvidia Digits represents a significant leap forward in AI technology. By combining powerful hardware, a comprehensive software stack and a compact, power-efficient design, Digits brings the capabilities of an AI supercomputer to the desktop.

Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, Nvidia unveiled Project Digits, a device it's calling a 'personal AI supercomputer.'

The announcement last August by the UK's then-new Labour Government that it was ending an £800 million supercomputer project at Edinburgh University was greeted by the HPC community with consternation -- particularly in Scotland.

Despite the AI hype, the systems require consistent monitoring and staffing to put in place and maintain. The process can be complicated — and expensive.

The AIRR was set up under the Conservatives, and saw two new supercomputers developed. Isambard-AI, based at the University of Bristol, will eventually contain 5,448 Nvidia GH200 superchips and offer 200 petaflops Linpack and 21 exaflops of AI compute.
