US stock futures steady after Wall St soars on dovish Powell; Nvidia earnings due
Investing.com -- Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) and Hewlett Packard Enterprise (NYSE:HPE) have announced a partnership with the Leibniz Supercomputing Centre to construct a new supercomputer. The Blue Lion project, as it is named, will utilize Nvidia’s next-generation chips, dubbed "Vera Rubin", and is expected to be accessible to scientists in early 2027.
This announcement was made at a supercomputing conference held in Hamburg, Germany. It follows Nvidia’s previous disclosure that the Lawrence Berkeley National Lab in the United States also has plans to construct a system using the same chips in the coming year.
In a separate announcement, Nvidia stated that Jupiter, another supercomputer equipped with its chips and located at the German national research institute Forschungszentrum Julich, has officially been declared Europe’s fastest system.
These developments highlight the efforts of European institutions to maintain competitiveness against the U.S. in the realm of supercomputers, which are crucial tools for a variety of scientific fields, including biotechnology and climate research.
