ESA cuts the ribbon on 34,000-core Space HPC centre tailored for space workloads.
The aptly named "SpaceHPC" facility is billed as being "demonstrator infrastructure" designed to help Europe's space industry "mitigate risks associated with data processing, modelling, and simulations."
Located in the Italian town of Frascati, 20km outside Rome, SpaceHPC houses a machine with 5 petaflops of raw performance potential.

'AI-startup Juvoly plaatst supercomputers'
"Bij NorthC Datacenters in Rotterdam zijn op 10 maart de eerste NVIDIA DGX B200 supercomputers van Nederland onthuld"
"Juvoly, een Nederlandse AI-startup in de zorg, gebruikt de supercomputers voor het trainen van geavanceerde spraakherkenningsmodellen."
"Nederlandse organisaties zijn voor AI-training en hosting nog grotendeels afhankelijk van buitenlandse cloudproviders. Supercomputers, zoals de NVIDIA DGX B200, bieden echter de rekenkracht om grootschalige AI-modellen lokaal te ontwikkelen en te hosten, waardoor data binnen Nederland blijft. "
"Juvoly ontwikkelt en host inclusieve speech-to-tekstmodellen, geoptimaliseerd voor taalachterstanden, accenten en medische terminologie. Het resultaat: een model dat beter presteert, met een lager energieverbruik, dan de grote internationale spelers en al meer dan 5000 huisartsconsulten per dag verwerkt. Ook is Juvoly de enige aanbieder van Friese spraakherkenning. Momenteel werkt het bedrijf samen met Erasmus MC en de TU Delft aan de ontwikkeling van een Medisch Nederlands Large Language Model (LLM), dat in de toekomst open-source beschikbaar moet komen."
