The Great Flip: How Accelerated Computing Redefined Scientific Systems — and What Comes Next

It used to be that computing power trickled down from hulking supercomputers to the chips in our pockets. Over the past 15 years, innovation has changed course: GPUs, born from gaming and scaled through accelerated computing, have surged upstream to remake supercomputing and carry the AI revolution to scientific computing’s most rarefied systems. JUPITER at Forschungszentrum Jülich is the emblem of this new era. Not only is it among the most efficient supercomputers — producing 63.3 gigaflops per watt — but it’s also a powerhouse for AI, delivering 116 AI exaflops, up from 92 at ISC High Performance 2025. This is the “flip” in action. In 2019, nearly 70% of the TOP100 high-performance computing systems were CPU-only. Today, that number has plunged below 15%, with 88 of the TOP100 systems accelerated — and 80% of those powered by NVIDIA GPUs. Continue Reading

Faster Chemistry and Materials Discovery with AI-Powered Simulations Using NVIDIA ALCHEMI

Almost all manufactured products are enabled by chemistry and materials science. However, new discoveries are costly and time-consuming and often hindered by trial-and-error approaches. Computational methods such as molecular dynamics with classical force fields traditionally struggle to predict chemical properties and stability accurately. NVIDIA ALCHEMI (AI Lab for Chemistry and Materials Innovation) enables Chemistry and Materials Science researchers and developers with NVIDIA NIM microservices and toolkits optimized on NVIDIA accelerated computing platforms.

Building Scalable AI on Enterprise Data with NVIDIA Nemotron RAG and Microsoft SQL Server 2025

At Microsoft Ignite 2025, the vision for an AI-ready enterprise database becomes a reality with the announcement of Microsoft SQL Server 2025, giving developers powerful new tools like built-in vector search and SQL native APIs to call external AI models. NVIDIA has partnered with Microsoft to seamlessly connect SQL Server 2025 with the NVIDIA Nemotron RAG collection of open models. This enables you to build high-performance, secure AI applications on your data in the cloud or on-premises. Continue Reading

Breaking Through Reinforcement Learning Training Limits with Scaling Rollouts in BroRL

When training large language models (LLMs) with reinforcement learning from verifiable rewards (RLVR), one of the most compelling questions is how to overcome performance plateaus. The previous NVIDIA Research solution, Prolonged Reinforcement Learning (ProRL), showed that adding more reinforcement learning (RL) steps during prolonged training could expand the reasoning boundaries of LLMs. Continue Reading
