Nvidia's latest project may supercharge quantum computing
Nvidia's latest project may supercharge quantum computing originally appeared on TheStreet. My first graphics card with an Nvidia () chip was Elsa Erazor III, powered by Riva TNT 2, back in 1999. If you will, God or the universe has a special sense of humor. Since then, the company's roots in making graphics cards for gaming—or, as I suspect most people would see it, wasting time—have allowed it to morph into the backbone of artificial intelligence and scientific computing. (Of course, gaming wasn't a waste of time for me. I've learned a lot and became an "IT" guy because of it.) Gaming is still a big business for Nvidia, but it is not nearly as crucial to the company as it was in the past. In its Q1 fiscal 2026 earnings release, Nvidia reported gaming revenue of a record $3.8 billion, up 48% from the previous quarter and 42% from a year ago. However, that is less than 9% of the company's total revenue of $44.1 grew out of gaming, for the better, just like me. I doubt the company's all done growing. The company recently announced it is building a supercomputer in partnership with Dell for NERSC, a U.S. Department of Energy user facility. It also addressed key issues investors had regarding China restrictions, supply chain capabilities, and the AI regulations. Nvidia's founder and CEO Jensen Huang, is always looking for new business opportunities, and many of them are outside America. NVIDIA, announced on June 9th on its blog, that Huang joined the U.K. Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer to open London Tech Week. 'I make this prediction – because of AI, every industry in the UK will be a tech industry. The U.K. has one of the richest AI communities of anywhere on the planet, the deepest thinkers, the best universities, and the third largest AI capital investment of anywhere in the world,' said Huang. 'So the ability to build these AI supercomputers here in the U.K. will naturally attract more startups, it will naturally enable the rich ecosystem of researchers here to do their life's work,'Huang also revealed that Nvidia will start an AI lab in the UK. The U.K. will invest approximately £1 billion in AI research compute by 2030, with investments commencing this year, wrote Nvidia on its blog. In December 2024, Hewlett-Packard Enterprise announced that it is building a liquid-cooled supercomputer at Germany's Leibniz Supercomputing Centre, LRZ, but it didn't reveal which Nvidia chips will power the "Blue Lion."

Nvidia, HPE to build new supercomputer in Germany
Nvidia and Hewlett Packard Enterprise said on Tuesday they are partnering with the Leibniz Supercomputing Centre to build a new supercomputer using Nvidia's next-generation chips. The Blue Lion supercomputer , as the project is called, will become available to scientists in early 2027, using Nvidia's "Vera Rubin" chips. The announcement, made at a supercomputing conference in Hamburg, Germany, follows Nvidia's announcement that the Lawrence Berkeley National Lab in the United States also plans to build a system using the chips next year. Separately, Nvidia also said that Jupiter, another supercomputer using its chips at German national research institute Forschungszentrum Julich, has officially become Europe's fastest system. The deals represent European institutions aiming to stay competitive against the U.S. in supercomputers used for scientific fields from biotechnology to climate research. Long before it became an artificial intelligence powerhouse, Nvidia set out to persuade scientists to use its chips to speed up complex computer problems, such as modeling climate change. Those problems required many precise calculations that could take months at a time. Nvidia is now working to persuade scientists to use artificial intelligence. Those AI systems can take the results of a few precise calculations and use them to make predictions that, while not as accurate as the fully calculated results, can still be useful while taking far less time. Nvidia on Tuesday unveiled what it calls its "Climate in a Bottle" AI model. In a press briefing, Dion Harris, head of data center product marketing at Nvidia, said scientists will be able to input a few initial conditions such as sea surface temperatures and generate a forecast for 10 to 30 years in the future and see what the weather may be like at any kilometer or so of the earth's surface. "Researchers will use combined approach of classic physics and AI to resolve turbulent atmospheric flows," Harris said. "This technique will allow them to analyze thousands and thousands more scenarios in greater detail than ever before."

Nvidia Teams with HPE for New Supercomputer, Debuts Climate AI Model
Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) is building a new supercomputer in Germany with Hewlett Packard Enterprise (NYSE:HPE) and the Leibniz Supercomputing Centre. The system, called Blue Lion, will be built using HPE's next-generation Cray technology and Nvidia's powerful GPUs. Warning! GuruFocus has detected 4 Warning Signs with NVDA. What's under the hood? Blue Lion will run on Nvidia's Vera Rubin architecture a combo of its new Rubin GPU and its first-ever custom CPU, called Vera. According to Nvidia, the system will be roughly 30 times more powerful than Germany's current flagship machine, SuperMUC-NG. The supercomputer is set to go live for researchers across Europe in early 2027, as first reported by Reuters. Meanwhile, Nvidia has also rolled out an AI foundation model built to simulate Earth's climate at kilometer-level precision. Named Climate in a Bottle or cBottle, the tool is part of Nvidia's Earth-2 platform, which blends AI, GPU acceleration, and physics-based modeling. The idea is to generate highly detailed atmospheric data faster and more energy-efficiently than traditional simulation methods and without giving up on accuracy. cBottle can take into account time of day, season, and sea surface temperatures to create realistic atmospheric models. Institutions like the Max Planck Institute for Meteorology and the Allen Institute for AI are already testing how cBottle can help compress climate data and make Earth's complex systems easier to explore. The launch reflects Nvidia's broader push into science-focused applications for AI and high-performance computing, beyond the data center and enterprise cloud.
