This initiative responds to the growing demand for artificial intelligence applications and promises to revolutionize the technology landscape not only in Israel, but also throughout the world.
Israel-1 is expected to be partially operational by the end of 2023, and is expected to deliver up to eight exaflops of AI computing power, making it among the fastest growing supercomputers in the world. To give an idea, a single exaflop can perform a quintillion (or 18 zeros) arithmetic operations per second.
According to Gilad Shiner, Senior Vice President of Nvidia Corporation, this supercomputer will be a boon to Israel’s burgeoning artificial intelligence scene. Nvidia is already collaborating with 800 startups across the country, which includes tens of thousands of software engineers.
Shiner highlighted the critical role of large graphics processing units (GPUs) in the development of AI and generative AI applications. “Generative AI is everywhere today. So it needs to be able to train on large data sets.”
With Israel-1, Israeli companies will have access to a supercomputer resource that does not currently exist. This powerful system should speed up training, making it easier to create frameworks and solutions that can handle more complex problems.
An example of what can be achieved with powerful computing resources is OpenAI’s ChatGPT, which is developed using thousands of Nvidia GPUs. This AI, known for its conversational abilities, is a testament to the breadth of projects that can be accomplished by harnessing powerful computing resources.
If the new supercomputer is mainly intended for Israeli Nvidia partners, the company does not rule out expanding its field of action. “We can use this system to work with partners outside of Israel in the future,” said Mr. Shiner.
In the same vein, last week Nvidia announced a partnership with the University of Bristol in Great Britain. They team up to build a new supercomputer powered by a new Nvidia chip. The move positions Nvidia as a competitor to chip giants such as Intel and Advanced Micro Devices Inc.
