Jensen Huang and King Frederik X of Denmark met on stage in Copenhagen to symbolically plug in the Gefion AI supercomputer. This supercomputer is the first one to be based in Denmark and is designed to drive research in quantum computing, medicine, green energy, and more. It’s built on the Nvidia DGX SuperPOD platform and uses 1,528 Nvidia H100 GPUs, allowing it to fuel the rapid growth of the Danish industry.
“Gefion is going to be a factory of intelligence. And this factory of intelligence is a new industry that never existed before; it sits on top of the IT industry — we’re inventing something fundamentally new.” Huang said during the launch. He added, “Denmark recognizes that to innovate in AI, the most impactful technology of our time, it must foster a domestic AI infrastructure and ecosystem. The Gefion supercomputer will supercharge the scientists of Denmark with local AI computing infrastructure to drive advancements in life sciences, climate research, and quantum computing.”
