The supercomputers will be based at the Argonne National Laboratory and the Los Alamos National Laboratory and will run on thousands of Nvidia’s microchips and processors. The first phase of the project will see Nvidia build two new supercomputers at Argonne called Equinox and Solstice. Equinox alone will run on 10,000 Nvidia Blackwell processors.
Additional Argonne supercomputers will include Tara, Minerva, and Janus. The Los Alamos supercomputers, called Mission and Vision, will run on Nvidia’s upcoming Vera Rubin microchips, said the company. Both U.S. laboratories will be used to develop AI models and run scientific computing.
Quantum Computing
Nvidia adds that it is also working with nine U.S. national laboratories and a host of additional companies on quantum computing technologies via its NVQLink, which pairs a classic supercomputer to a quantum computer to help boost computing capabilities and output.
Beyond the new AI supercomputers, Nvidia says it is also developing an AI-based wireless stack for 6G (sixth generation) internet connectivity. The company said it’s working with T-Mobile (TMUS) and Cisco Systems (CSCO) to ensure that America can deploy 6G wireless networks built using U.S. technology. These plans are part of what Nvidia calls “sovereign AI” within America.
