IT Home reported on May 30 that the U.S. Secretary of Energy announced on the 29th local time that it had signed a new contract with Dell, and Dell will build a supercomputer Doudna powered by NVIDIA’s next-generation Vera Rubin platform at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL) of the U.S. Department of Energy.
The system, which will be launched in 20206, is named after Jennifer Doudna, a biochemist at Berkeley National Laboratory who won the 2020 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for her work on CRISPR gene editing technology.

Doudna supercomputing will not only use NVIDIA’s most advanced Vera-Rubin CPU-GPU platform at that time, but will also introduce Dell’s cutting-edge ORv3 direct liquid-cooled server technology, which can achieve more than 10 times the performance of LBNL’s existing flagship supercomputer Perlmutter, which is currently ranked 19th on the Top500 list.
The supercomputer can handle traditional HPC workloads in scientific research, perform AI training inference calculations, and support state-of-the-art quantum simulation computing tools.
