Nvidia is powering the UK's fastest superocmputer yet - here's what it can do

• Nvidia's GH200 chips are at the core of Britain's Isambard-AI supercomputer
• It's the 11th fastest in the world, and 10x faster than Britain's second-fastest
• The UK government hopes it'll aid in drug discovery and more

The UK's most powerful AI supercomputer, Isambard-AI, is now fully operational at the Bristol Centre for Supercomputing (BriCS), with some serious Nvidia power at its core.

With 21 exaFlops of AI performance backed by 5,448 Nvidia GH200 Grace Hopper superchips, Isambard-AI now ranks 11th on the Top 500 list of fastest supercomputers, making it one of the global leaders.

Nvidia declared the British supercomputer is now 10x faster than the next UK supercomputer, and more powerful than all the others in the UK combined.
