Jensen Huang on DOE's Plans to Advance US Science

The Nvidia CEO speaks on the importance of the Department of Energy's push to advance US science and technology through its procurement of 7 new AI supercomputers to be built by Nvidia.

Today, we're announcing that the Department of Energy is partnering with Nvidia to build seven new AI supercomputers to advance our nation's science. I have to have a shout out for Secretary Chris Wright. He has brought so much energy to the DOE. A surge of energy, A surge of passion to make sure that America leads science again.

"As I mentioned, computing is the fundamental instrument of science, and we are going through several platform shifts. On the one hand, we're going to accelerate computing. That's why every future supercomputer will be GPU-based supercomputer. We're going to AI so that AI and principle solvers, principle, simulation, principle, physics simulation is not going to go away, but it could be augmented. Enhance scale, use surrogate models, AI models working together.

"We also know that principle solvers, classical computing can be enhanced to understand the state of nature using quantum computing. We also know that in the future we have so much signal, so much data we have to sample from the world. Remote sensing is more important than ever, and these laboratories are impossible to experiment at the scale and speed we need to unless they're robotic factories, robotic laboratories.

"So all of these different technologies are coming into science at exactly the same time. Secretary Wright understands this, and he wants the DOE to take this opportunity to supercharge themselves and make sure the United States stay(s) at the forefront of science."

Huang took the stage in a packed conference hall as President Donald Trump continued his tour of Asia this week ahead of his expected meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping on Thursday. The flow of advanced technology between the two nations is likely to be at the center of trade discussions, with access to Nvidia's chips a key issue.

Nvidia's annual GTC event is being held for the first time in Washington, D.C., a sign that the company is pursuing work with the government and contractors clustered around the capital. At its last GTC in California in March, Nvidia laid out its chip road map for the next year.
