NVIDIA announced that 35 AI supercomputers are in development across Europe, representing the continent's largest one-year expansion of supercomputers. The systems span national supercomputing centers, AI factories, and research institutions, and are built on NVIDIA's Blackwell and Hopper platforms. Major installations include Barcelona Supercomputing Center's MareNostrum5 AI upgrade, BavariaAI's Blue Swan, IT4LIA, HLRS's HammerHAI, and NAISS's Mimer AI Factory.
Why it matters
NVIDIA infrastructure is powering over 90% of Europe's AI factory buildout, with 800 AI exaflops deployed or announced since last year. This infrastructure enables researchers to tackle complex challenges in climate modeling, biomedical discovery, and clean-energy research. For example, Siemens Energy is using NVIDIA-accelerated simulation to design gas turbine burners capable of running on up to 100% hydrogen, cutting simulation times by up to 77%.
What to watch
The systems will deliver massive computing performance tailored to different regions. IT4LIA will deliver 82 exaflops of AI training and 164 exaflops of AI inference performance; Barcelona Supercomputing Center's expansion will deliver up to approximately 20 exaflops of AI training and 33 exaflops of AI inference performance; and BavariaAI's Blue Swan will deliver up to 11 exaflops of AI training and 22 exaflops of AI inference performance.
