TECH - Nvidia Joins Forces with Japan's Tech Institute for Hybrid Supercomputer Project | Benzinga
Nvidia Corp (NASDAQ:NVDA) reportedly joins forces with Japan’s National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology to construct a hybrid supercomputer incorporating quantum computing capabilities for researchers and businesses.
This collaboration is part of Japan’s broader quantum computing initiative, where the ABCI-Q, a quantum-AI hybrid cloud system, is under development.
Nvidia contributes graphics processing units to ABCI-Q and supplies quantum computing software through a cloud service, Nikkei Asia reports.
The system, which is scheduled to be available for a subscription fee starting in fiscal 2025, is expected to support various applications, from drug discovery to logistics optimization.
Quantum computers have the potential to tackle challenges beyond the scope of traditional computers but are sensitive to minor environmental changes, leading to frequent errors. Integrating these with a supercomputer addresses these issues, facilitating complex computational tasks.
