NVIDIA has revealed details about the company’s next supercomputer, the DGX GH200, which has been built to help companies develop generative AI models.

The machine uses a new NVLink Switch System to enable 256 chips to perform as if they were a single GPU. NVIDIA claims the system offers nearly 500 times as much memory as you’d find in previous DGX A100 computers, quite probably making it the most powerful supercomputer on the planet.

Several key players are interested in the DGX GH200. Google Cloud, Meta, and Microsoft will be some of the first to put the system through its paces as they test its capacity for generative AI workloads.

NVIDIA says the new machine will be available by the end of 2023, by which time they should have already developed Helios, an even more powerful version combining four DGX GH200 systems.

Meanwhile, on the gaming front, NVIDIA’s Avatar Cloud Engine (ACE) has been revealed, allowing developers to create custom AI models for speech, conversation, and animation. NVIDIA claims that ACE for Games will “give non-playable characters conversational skills so they can respond to questions with lifelike personalities that evolve”.

HH Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai and Deputy Prime Minister of the UAE, chaired the first meeting of the Supreme Space Council in Dubai on December 16, 2024. The session highlighted the UAE’s ambitious space plans and took stock of the sector’s economic progress.

The council emphasized the growing role of private companies in advancing space technologies, noting that their contributions are now equal to that of the public sector. Members also praised initiatives like the Space Economic Zones Programme, which are designed to fuel innovation and investment in the space industry.

Discussing the UAE’s space journey, HH Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum remarked, “The national space sector continues to grow and advance, and we take immense pride in the remarkable achievements we have accomplished over the years”.

Sheikh Hamdan also received updates on two upcoming satellite projects: Thuraya-2 and MBZ-SAT. Thuraya-2, developed by Space42, is slated for launch this December. Meanwhile, the MBZ-SAT, created by the Mohammed Bin Rashid Space Centre (MBRSC), will soon follow. MBRSC, a major driver of the UAE National Space Programme, continues to lead the nation’s space-related developments.

Space42 took the opportunity to showcase its advancements, including ongoing collaborations between public and private entities. The company also outlined strategies to promote innovation, boost revenue streams, and create new opportunities for growth in the sector.

The UAE’s current projects build on a growing legacy of space exploration. Back in 2020, the nation made headlines with its Mars mission, successfully sending a probe into the planet’s orbit in 2021. This mission, which is now in its second phase as of June 2024, has been collecting critical data to develop a comprehensive diurnal image of Mars.

The UAE also ventured into lunar exploration with an unmanned mission aimed at studying untouched regions of the Moon’s surface. While the probe ultimately crashed during its landing attempt after communication was lost seconds before touchdown, the effort represented a significant step in the country’s exploration ambitions.
