Nexus AI Supercomputer

planned

Nexus is one of the nation’s fastest supercomputers being built by Georgia Tech and its partners with $20 million funding from the National Science Foundation. It is designed to accelerate scientific discovery using artificial intelligence and high-performance computing workloads. The system will deliver over 400 quadrillion operations per second and feature advanced memory and storage capabilities, including 330 trillion bytes of memory and 10 quadrillion bytes of flash storage. Nexus emphasizes accessibility, allowing researchers from institutions across the U.S. to apply for access through the NSF. The project is a national collaboration with the National Center for Supercomputing Applications at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, linked via a new high-speed network to democratize AI tools.
