NVIDIA Strengthens AI and HPC Leadership with “Blue Lion” ========================================================= Tuesday 10 June 2025 11:21am / * ;) إنفيديا Tech giant NVIDIA has announced a strategic partnership with Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) and Germany’s Leibniz Supercomputing Centre to develop a new supercomputer named “Blue Lion”, reinforcing its presence in the European high-performance computing (HPC) sector. The upcoming system will be powered by NVIDIA’s next-generation Vera Rubin chips, designed to push the boundaries of advanced computing. The project is scheduled to go live in early 2027, granting scientists and researchers across Europe access to enhanced computational power. The announcement was made during the International Supercomputing Conference held in Hamburg, Germany, where NVIDIA also revealed broader plans to expand across the continent. This comes alongside a similar effort in the United States, where Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory is planning to build a supercomputing system using NVIDIA chips next year. In another milestone, NVIDIA announced that its “Jupiter” supercomputer, operated by the Jülich Research Center in Germany, has officially become Europe’s fastest computing system, further solidifying the company’s leadership in European HPC technology. **Europe–US Race in Supercomputing Innovation** These developments underscore Europe's determination to stay competitive with the United States in the supercomputing race—an essential field for cutting-edge scientific research, from biotechnology to climate modeling and space exploration. Before dominating the artificial intelligence (AI) sector, NVIDIA sought to establish its GPUs as tools to accelerate complex computational challenges—such as climate change modeling—that traditionally required months of processing time on conventional systems. Now, NVIDIA is shifting focus to encourage scientists to adopt advanced AI systems. These systems can use calculated results to generate predictions, offering valuable insights in a fraction of the time—though with slightly less accuracy compared to full calculations, they significantly reduce the time and resources required.
