IT hardware and technology giants NVIDIA and Foxconn recently collaboratively construct the largest Artificial
Intelligence (AI) supercomputer in Taiwan.
Almost simultaneously, NVIDIA and Foxconn have announced that they are to construct the largest supercomputer
in Taiwan, which will advance the country’s AI breakthrough. Named as Hon Hai Kaohsiung Supercomputing
Centre, this state-of-art project will rely upon NVIDIA’s Blackwell architecture and the GB200 NVL72
infrastructure which composes of 4,608 Tensor Core GPUs in sixty-four racks.
The supercomputer will provide more than 90 Exaflops of AI performance, making it Taiwan’s fastest
supercomputer, and aid the advancement of industries in Artificial Intelligence. This supercomputer will be utilized
by Foxconn for producing the future developments in cancer treatments, advanced language models, smart city
applications, and make Taiwan the center for performance AI computing for the entire world.
The operational strategy of Foxconn is based on three fields: smart manufacturing, smart city, electric vehicles
industry. These efforts will be helped out by the new supercomputer: digital twins, robotic automation and smart city
infrastructure.
Implementation has already started and the initial roll out is planned for mid of 2025 with full roll out by 2026. This
work will leverage various NVIDIA technologies like the Omniverse and Isaac platforms to advance manufacturing
industries using AI and simulation.
Foxconn, the electronics manufacturing giant, remains the pioneer in smart manufacturing and the use of Artificial
Intelligence. The current partnership with NVIDIA Corporation should help take this form of AI innovation to the
next level and strengthen Taiwan’s standing on the international technology map.
