Weather forecasts shape more than daily plans; timely weather information is crucial for energy producers, insurers and transport operators to plan around changing conditions. A global forecast can show a storm taking shape, but decisions about solar farms, shipping routes or insured property depend on what happens locally. NVIDIA Earth-2 gives developers and researchers a […]
The Barcelona Supercomputing Center (BSC)’s AI Factory Accelerator Programme, now in full operation following a pilot initiative, gives startups access to sovereign compute, technical support and training to support innovation across industries. Many of these companies are also members of the NVIDIA Inception program for cutting-edge startups — and as of today, access to some […]
Much of today’s scientific progress begins with computation. But turning accelerated computing’s potential into scientific progress — modeling climate systems, designing molecules, simulating materials and more — depends on more than breakthrough technology. Especially for smaller labs, early-career scientists or science-based startups, the hardest part of research can be everything that comes before the science: […]
Clean energy isn’t hard to come by, but the pace of large-scale adoption has historically been slow due to bottlenecks — including out-of-date infrastructure, elongated research and development timelines, and upfront cost barriers. At New York Climate Week, NVIDIA is highlighting five companies pioneering clean energy projects with AI baked into their foundation, accelerating research-to-inception […]
Air pollution is a serious public health risk, contributing to an estimated 30,000 deaths in the U.K. alone last year. Data-driven insights can help — but computing air quality with traditional chemistry-based models is expensive, which limits how detailed they can be and how regularly they can be run. David Topping, a professor in the […]
JUPITER, Europe’s first exascale supercomputer at Germany’s Forschungszentrum Jülich, runs on NVIDIA Grace Hopper Superchips and NVIDIA Quantum-X800 InfiniBand networking — and it’s had a busy year. As the international supercomputing community gathers at ISC in Hamburg this week, four projects running on JUPITER point to what exascale computing can actually do: map the human […]
The next era of AI will not be defined by compute alone. Its growth will be determined by energy. As accelerated computing scales across AI factories, agentic AI, industrial AI, edge computing and physical AI — including robotics and autonomous systems — global electricity demand is rising at unprecedented speed. In many regions, expanding grid […]
Across climate, conservation, disaster monitoring and recycling, NVIDIA AI is enabling applications protecting the planet.
At the American Meteorological Society’s Annual Meeting, NVIDIA today unveiled a new NVIDIA Earth-2 family of open models, libraries and frameworks for weather and climate AI, offering the world’s first fully open, production-ready weather AI software stack.
Five finalists for the esteemed high-performance computing award have achieved breakthroughs in climate modeling, fluid simulation and more with the Alps, JUPITER and Perlmutter supercomputers — with two winners taking home the prize.
Coastal communities in the U.S. have a 26% chance of flooding within a 30-year period. This percentage is expected to increase due to climate-change-driven sea-level rise, making these areas even more vulnerable. Michael Beck, professor and director of the UC Santa Cruz Center for Coastal Climate Resilience, focuses on modeling and mapping the benefits of
