Researchers in Taiwan are set to receive a new supercomputer at the National Center for High-Performance Computing, offering over 8x more AI performance than the current system. The supercomputer will feature NVIDIA HGX H200 systems and will go live later this year, supporting projects like Taiwan AI RAP for local language model development.
The new NCHC supercomputer will drive advancements in sovereign AI, quantum computing, and scientific computation, empowering Taiwan’s technological autonomy. Researchers from various sectors in Taiwan can apply for access to the system to accelerate innovative projects. The supercomputer will support projects like Taiwan AI RAP, which aims to develop generative AI applications with cultural and linguistic nuances.
In climate research, NCHC supports researchers using NVIDIA Earth-2 platform and NVIDIA GPUs to advance atmospheric science. They are using AI models like Earth-2’s CorrDiff and DeepMind’s GraphCast for weather forecasting. With the new supercomputer, they will be able to run more complex simulations and accelerate AI training and inference for climate research.
NCHC researchers are also advancing quantum research using NVIDIA CUDA-Q platform and cuQuantum library for applications in quantum machine learning, chemistry, finance, and cryptography. They have developed tools like Quantum Molecular Generator and cuTN-QSVM for quantum simulations. The institute plans to build a hybrid quantum-accelerated computing system integrating NVIDIA DGX Quantum systems.
