The US government has reportedly entered into a major new partnership with leading tech company AMD. The US Department of Energy (DOE) and AMD have agreed to a $1 billion deal for the development of two advanced supercomputers over the next few years.
According to a report by Reuters, which cited a statement from AMD and CEO Dr. Lisa Su, the first of these cutting-edge supercomputers is expected to be completed by 2029. This powerful machine will play a critical role in supporting various governmental initiatives, including the management of the US nuclear arsenal and driving breakthroughs in medical research related to cancer.
Energy Secretary Chris Wright highlighted the significance of this collaboration, stating that the partnership with AMD will accelerate technological growth in the United States once the supercomputers are operational.
This deal marks another step forward in the US government’s investment in high-performance computing and advanced technology solutions to address some of the nation’s most pressing challenges.
