Nvidia has published a new blog post about the soon-to-be operating Cambridge-1 AI supercomputer. Yes, it is being installed at a facility in the UK, at the Kao Data data centre, but it isn't in Cambridge, it is 40 miles south in Harlow. Nevertheless, this location was chosen for its proximity to the cluster of life science tech companies in the vicinity of Cambridge.
Kao Data, Harlow
As touched upon above, the Cambridge-1 AI supercomputer will be largely tasked with simulations and problems that healthcare researchers are interested in solving. In the coming months it is expected to be running through programs designed by scientists from the likes of AstraZeneca, GSK, Guy’s and St Thomas’ NHS Foundation Trust, King’s College London, and Oxford Nanopore. These companies and institutions have already announced their intent to use the Cambridge-1, but I'm sure others will follow.
