Longer term weather forecasts could get more accurate - thanks to the cloud
The Met Office has transferred to a new off-site supercomputer - which could make 14-day forecasts as accurate as seven-day equivalents. Operating using Microsoft's cloud-based Azure system, the new computer could also help predict extreme weather further in advance and advance climate research. The weather agency used its first supercomputer 60 years ago, but until now it has almost always been run on site. For more than a month, Azure has been running off-site simultaneously with the Met Office's previous supercomputer, which has now been switched off. Chief executive officer Penny Endersby said on the agency's website that "a big change like this is like changing the engines when you're flying over the Atlantic" - noting that the new computer had already been running in parallel with its old system for more than a month. "You can never have a stop, which is why we did the long parallel run with the old supercomputer," she added. "So, success at this phase is that nobody can tell the difference." Charles Ewen, the weather agency's chief information officer, said the Met Office uses numerical weather prediction "to predict the future state of the atmosphere" which "takes the laws of physics that are fairly well understood and applies them at scale". He added: "To do that is very, very computationally expensive. It's simulating the future state of the atmosphere. "Operationally, that's 200 to 300 terabytes of information a day." Using Azure, he said the Met Office will be able to start fresh projects without having to build new infrastructure. Segolene Berthou, head of a research team working on the Met Office's environmental prediction capabilities, added that the supercomputer will also allow for a model to be run several times with slightly different parameters. "The coupled system we're preparing is running faster and more smoothly on the new supercomputer," she said.

Nvidia and Dell to Supply Next US Department of Energy Supercomputer
The U.S. Department of Energy stated that NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ:NVDA)'s future Vera Rubin chips and Dell Technologies Inc. (NYSE:DELL)'s liquid-cooled servers would power its next supercomputer. A close-up of a colorful high-end graphics card being plugged in to a gaming computer. "Doudna" is scheduled to be deployed at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory in 2026. The technology, which bears the name of Nobel winner Jennifer Doudna, will assist 11,000 researchers in fields ranging from physics to biology. Chris Wright, the Secretary of Energy, underlined the system's contribution to national security and scientific advancement. Jensen Huang, the CEO of NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ:NVDA), stressed the importance of supercomputers as "vital instruments" for both defense and innovation. Doudna attributed her CRISPR discoveries to previous backing from the Energy Department. The system carries on the Department's history of nuclear weapons development and high-performance computing. The announcement comes after NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ:NVDA)'s operations in China came under political scrutiny. Senator Tom Cotton cautioned against evading export restrictions, pointing to national security threats associated with exporting AI chips to China, while Senators Banks and Warren expressed worries about a potential R&D center in Shanghai. While we acknowledge the potential of NVDA to grow, our conviction lies in the belief that some AI stocks hold greater promise for delivering higher returns and have limited downside risk. If you are looking for an AI stock that is more promising than NVDA and that has 100x upside potential, check out our report about this READ NEXT: and . Disclosure. None.

Nvidia and Dell Power the Department of Energy's Next Supercomputer
Chip giant Nvidia (NVDA) and computer maker Dell Technologies (DELL) are combining forces to power the Department of Energy's (DOE) next-generation supercomputer, called Doudna. Named after Nobel Prize-winning scientist Jennifer Doudna, the advanced supercomputer is schedule for launch in 2026. The announcement was made by Secretary of Energy, Chris Wright, at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory yesterday. Confident Investing Starts Here: Easily unpack a company's performance with TipRanks' new KPI Data for smart investment decisions Receive undervalued, market resilient stocks right to your inbox with TipRanks' Smart Value Newsletter The Doudna supercomputer will use Nvidia's latest ' Vera Rubin ' chips and will be built into Dell's advanced liquid-cooled servers. The supercomputer is designed to help roughly 11,000 researchers across the U.S. drive 'scientific discovery, from chemistry to physics to biology.' Here's What Doudna Is Expected to Do Typically, the DOE's supercomputers enable scientists to carry out fundamental scientific research and are also used for designing and maintaining the U.S. nuclear weapons store. Doudna is designed to integrate simulation, data, and artificial intelligence (AI) into a single platform. Scientists across the U.S. will be able to seamlessly steam data into the system and analyze real-time results. Doudna is expected to drive breakthroughs in fusion energy, materials science, accelerate drug discoveries, process real-time data from space, and support quantum workflows. The supercomputer is expected to be 10x faster in scientific output than its predecessor, Perlmutter, while using only 2x-3x more power. Nvidia's Crucial Role Amid Export Challenges Nvidia's involvement in this mission-critical project reflects the semiconductor giant's valued expertise and its importance to the U.S. administration. The news about Doudna comes amid Nvidia's ongoing struggle with chip exports to China. Recently, CEO Jensen Huang praised U.S. President Donald Trump for his 'vision' to boost domestic manufacturing, while also criticizing the stringent chip export restrictions on Nvidia, which have cost the company billions of dollars in lost revenue. The company has also drawn bipartisan criticism for its plan to open a research and development facility in Shanghai, with lawmakers citing national security concerns and warning of potential risks. Which AI Stock Is Better: NVDA or DELL? We used TipRanks' Stock Comparison Tool to determine which of the two companies, Nvidia or Dell, is currently favored by analysts. Investors can choose to invest in either stock after thorough research. Currently, both NVDA and DELL have earned analysts' 'Strong Buy' consensus rating, with NVDA stock offering higher upside potential compared to DELL.

DOE unveils AI supercomputer aimed at transforming energy sector
The Department of Energy announced details Thursday for an advanced supercomputer that would speed up development of technologies such as artificial intelligence and fusion, priorities for Energy Secretary Chris Wright. The supercomputer, NERSC-10, is expected to provide more than 10 times the performance of the most advanced machine at the National Energy Research Scientific Computing Center, which is housed at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory in California. DOE said it is partnering with Dell Technologies — a leader in servers for artificial intelligence — to develop the supercomputer, which would be powered by chips from Nvidia. 'Doudna is a time machine for science — compressing years of discovery into days,' Jensen Huang, founder and CEO of Nvidia, said in a news release. The system, expected to be delivered in 2026, is named after Jennifer Doudna, a biochemist at the lab who won the 2020 Nobel Prize for Chemistry. Advertisement Wright, who visited the lab Thursday, called the system 'a powerhouse for rapid innovation that will transform our efforts to develop abundant, affordable energy supplies.'
