Nvidia CPUs will power supercomputers at Los Alamos National Laboratory.

NVIDIA announced on June 22 the launch of the Vera Rubin platform for scientific computing. According to the company's press release, the Vera Rubin platform combines native double-precision performance, NVIDIA CUDA-X libraries, and the full-stack capabilities of the NVIDIA AI platform to accelerate AI, simulation, and data-intensive research, transforming each system rack into a supercomputer for scientific discovery.

Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) will deploy new supercomputers powered by NVIDIA Vera CPUs to accelerate scientific discovery and unlock agentic AI for science. The supercomputers will use the HPE Cray Supercomputing GX5000 architecture, integrating NVIDIA Vera CPUs, NVIDIA Rubin GPUs, and NVIDIA Quantum-X800 InfiniBand networking alongside the Vera Rubin platform.

NVIDIA also launched Halos for Robotics, described as the industry's first full-stack, comprehensive safety system for robotics and physical AI. The system enables companies to adopt a standardized, unified safety architecture that connects AI compute, system software, sensor data, safety applications, and inspection for robotic systems. Humanoid robotics and physical AI company Agility is the first customer to implement Halos for Robotics, using the system to build safety into its humanoid robots deployed in factories, warehouses, and logistics operations.

NVIDIA designs and manufactures graphics processing units (GPUs), system-on-a-chip units (SoCs), and AI hardware and software. Its GPUs serve as the backbone of data center infrastructure worldwide, supporting gaming, high-performance computing, AI training, and inference applications.
