Australian supercomputing center deploys Nvidia’s Grace Hopper Superchips for quantum research

Australia’s Pawsey Supercomputing Research Center said today it will deploy eight of Nvidia Corp.’s powerful Grace Hopper Superchips nodes to power its open-source CUDA Quantum computing platform in Perth, as part of its mission to push the boundaries of quantum computing research.

The new supercomputer is expected to be able to deliver up to 10 times higher processing performance than the center was previously capable of, Nvidia said.

According to Pawsey, the Grace Hopper Superchips will enable researchers to run more advanced simulation tools and attempt to engineer new breakthroughs in areas such as quantum algorithm discovery, device design, machine learning, chemistry simulations, astronomy, image processing for radio, bioinformatics, financial analysis and other areas of research. Pawsey said the new chips will advance scientific exploration, both in Australia and in the wider world....
