The University of Florida has introduced the newest edition of its AI supercomputer, HiPerGator, which is now in its fourth version.
According to UF, the HiPerGator is the most powerful university supercomputer in the country.
The unveiling event featured Chris Malachowsky, co-founder of Nvidia, who played a key role in bringing the HiPerGator to UF.
“They’re gonna look in the ranks and say, who here can help me figure out what to do, how to do it, how to implement it? They’re gonna be looking to new employees, new hires,”
Malachowsky said, emphasizing the importance of new graduates in helping companies implement AI technology.
Nick Marotta, a UF student, is part of a team competing internationally to reduce bone decay in astronauts, and he noted that HiPerGator significantly reduces the time it takes to run their calculations.
