Novo Nordisk Foundation announces Denmark’s first AI supercomputer is now operational
New supercomputer built on NVIDIA DGX SuperPOD will accelerate research and provide new opportunities in academia and industry.
The new AI supercomputer, named “Gefion” and built on NVIDIA DGX SuperPOD, was launched at an event in Copenhagen, where HM King Frederik X of Denmark, Jensen Huang, founder and CEO of NVIDIA, and Nadia Carlsten, CEO of DCAI, symbolically turned the system “on”. The supercomputer is now being readied for customers, starting with a pilot phase where it will be used by select customers interested in using AI to accelerate innovation in many areas, ranging from quantum computing to drug discovery, to societal challenges such as the transition to green energy.
