This will combine the Grace Hopper combined CPU and GPU processors with new AI models and a digital twin, says Jensen Huang, CEO of Nvidia at the conference today.
“EVE is an incredible vision. Aside from the climate research community and people who can conceptualise long term impact into near term actions, very few people understand what it means until it happens to them, whether floods, forest fires or droughts,” said Huang. “It seems like California is always on fire. The vision of EVE is almost unattainable with today’s technology.”
“EVE’s vision to understand future climate impacts at kilometer scale is a grand challenge that demands simultaneous breakthroughs in modelling, computing, and AI. Nvidia is working with the EVE community to provide a path to simulate and visualize the global atmosphere at unprecedented speed and scale, using cutting-edge AI for physics simulation, accelerated scientific computing and advanced data infrastructure.”
“It has taken us almost 10 years to build the computer for this,” he said.“Grace Hopper took us a decade to develop and makes it possible for us to accelerate almost any software. The first application of Grace Hopper is our climate software and the amount of performance is fairly insane.”
