Abu Dhabi’s G42 to construct supercomputer in India
G42 will develop a national-scale supercomputer for India, marking another milestone for the Abu Dhabi AI conglomerate and strengthening the UAE’s relations with the world’s most populous nation.
California chipmaker Cerebras is a partner on the project, which at 8 exaflops of capacity makes it competitive with the world’s leading supercomputers (an exaflop equals 1 quintillion calculations per second); other partners include Abu Dhabi’s Mohamed Bin Zayed University of Artificial Intelligence and India’s Centre for Development of Advanced Computing, News.Az reports, citing foreign media.
