How do engineers build today's supercomputers, and how are the world's fastest computers ranked? We visit the Texas Advanced Computing Center, home of one of the world's top supercomputing clusters, to learn about and how researchers tap into petaflops of processing power. We're talking about a system with 270 Terabytes of RAM and 14 Petabytes of storage!

We proudly announce an ambitious public private partnership that will make the University of Florida home to higher education’s most powerful AI supercomputer.

Made possible by UF alumnus Chris Malachowsky and powered by Nvidia, the leading technology company that he cofounded, this Artificial Intelligence initiative is a breakthrough that accelerates our land grant mission, and amplifies our impact across the full spectrum of our enterprise.

This incredible gift — a validation of our aspirations of becoming a top 5 public university — enables UF to integrate AI across its curriculum, create equitable access to AI technology, bolster state industry, and create robust economic growth.
