ISLAMABAD:<\/strong> The U.S. Department of Energy has announced a groundbreaking collaboration with tech giants Nvidia and Dell to deliver its next-generation supercomputer, \u201cDoudna,\u201d by 2026.<\/p>\n

The system will be located at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory in California and is named after Nobel Prize-winning biochemist Jennifer Doudna, known for her pioneering work in CRISPR gene editing.<\/p>\n

Supercomputer to Support Over 11,000 Researchers<\/h4>\n

The upcoming supercomputer will be equipped with Nvidia\u2019s advanced \u201cVera Rubin\u201d chips and housed in liquid-cooled servers developed by Dell Technologies.<\/p>\n

The Department of Energy confirmed that over 11,000 researchers will utilize the system across a range of scientific disciplines.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt will advance scientific discovery, from chemistry to physics to biology,\u201d said U.S. Secretary of Energy Chris Wright during the announcement event held at the Berkeley lab. Jennifer Doudna also addressed the audience, emphasizing how computing has become an integral tool in biological research. \u201cWe are at a critical intersection of biology and computing,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

This high-performance system is expected to accelerate innovation in fields such as climate modeling, materials science, genetics, and artificial intelligence.<\/p>\n

National Security and Global Tech Competition<\/h4>\n

Supercomputers like Doudna are also instrumental in maintaining the U.S. nuclear arsenal and national defense capabilities. Speaking at the launch, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang highlighted the role of scientific computing in securing economic and technological leadership. \u201cIt is the foundation of scientific discovery for our country and essential for national security,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

However, the announcement came amid controversy surrounding Nvidia\u2019s global expansion. Lawmakers, including Senators Jim Banks and Elizabeth Warren, have raised concerns about Nvidia\u2019s reported plans to open an R&D facility in Shanghai, citing national security risks.<\/p>\n

Senator Tom Cotton added to the pressure, stating on platform X: \u201cKeeping advanced AI chips out of the hands of the Chinese Communists isn\u2019t about business \u2014 it\u2019s a national security issue.\u201d<\/p>\n

The U.S. has already imposed export controls to block high-end chip sales to China, a policy Nvidia CEO has publicly criticized for its financial toll on the company.<\/p>\n

As \u201cDoudna\u201d moves toward deployment, it symbolizes both the rapid advancement of U.S. computational science and the growing geopolitical weight of technology.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
