These supercomputers, employing NVIDIA’s technology, represent a significant leap in computational power.
Nvidia, a leading chipmaker, and Foxconn, the Taiwan-based contract manufacturer, have unveiled plans to construct Taiwan’s largest supercomputer, housed at the Hon Hai Kaohsiung Supercomputing Center.
The system will be powered by Nvidia’s Blackwell architecture, utilizing the GB200 NVL72 data centre platform, as details shared on Nvidia’s blog.
Once operational, Foxconn intends to use the supercomputer to drive advancements in cancer research, large language model development, and smart city innovations, establishing Taiwan as a leader on the global AI map. Foxconn is the largest electronics manufacturer globally, creating products for top technology brands.
Touted as the Fastest Supercomputer
Foxconn’s “three-platform strategy” centres on smart manufacturing, smart cities, and electric vehicles.
The new supercomputer will support advancements in digital twins, robotic automation, and urban infrastructure in Kaohsiung. The company said that construction is underway, with the first phase set to be operational by mid-2025 and full deployment expected in 2026. The project will use NVIDIA technologies like Omniverse and Isaac robotics to improve manufacturing processes.
“Powered by NVIDIA’s Blackwell platform, Foxconn’s new AI supercomputer is one of the most powerful in the world, representing a significant leap forward in AI computing and efficiency,” said Foxconn Vice President and Spokesperson James Wu.
The GB200 NVL72 is NVIDIA’s data centre platform for AI tasks. Each rack has 36 NVIDIA Grace processors and 72 NVIDIA Blackwell GPUs connected with NVIDIA’s NVLink, providing 130TB per second of bandwidth. The GPUs can work together as a single unit, perfect for training large AI models and running complex tasks in real-time.
