SoFi stock falls after announcing $1.5B public offering of common stock
ARMONK, N.Y. - UT Southwestern Medical Center has become the first healthcare institution to implement the NVIDIA AI Data Platform reference design using IBM Fusion, IBM (NYSE:IBM) announced Tuesday. The tech giant, currently valued at $284.84 billion, has seen its stock surge over 41% year-to-date as it continues to strengthen its position as a prominent player in the IT Services industry according to InvestingPro data.
The deployment integrates NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Server Edition GPUs, NVIDIA Networking, and NVIDIA AI Enterprise software to enhance the medical center's research capabilities.
The implementation aims to support various medical research applications, including drug discovery acceleration, patient digital avatars for clinical training, and an AI assistant to improve researcher productivity.
For drug discovery, the system utilizes NVIDIA's BioNeMo open-source framework integrated with IBM Fusion to build and train deep learning models for biomolecular discovery. The technology also powers AI-driven patient avatars that simulate clinical scenarios for training purposes.
IBM Fusion's content-aware data services automatically prepare the medical center's data for AI applications, enabling researchers to process complex datasets and obtain faster responses to semantic queries.
"IBM Fusion is engineered to help organizations conduct deep research by unifying applications and access to data across hybrid clouds to help simplify discovery and data activation that is AI-ready," said Sam Werner, GM of IBM Storage.
The system integrates with NVIDIA NeMo Retriever Microservices to deliver AI agents that utilize data indexing capabilities, providing what IBM describes as a "full stack experience" for users.
According to the company's statement, the technology is designed to support large-scale training and inferencing, potentially benefiting drug research, clinical training, and researcher productivity at the medical center.
This announcement represents one of the industry's first implementations of the NVIDIA AI Data Platform reference design for healthcare applications, based on the press release statement.
