Gefion will feature over 1,500 of Nvidias H100 Tensor Core GPUs anddeliver six exaflops of FP8AIperformance.

But staying on top of the high-performance computing (HPC) and AI training game is a difficult task.
The European race to exascale
Denmarks new supercomputer will be in good European company.
The UK is building an exascale supercomputer in Edinburgh, as well as an AI supercomputer in Bristol.
Joint undertaking EuroHPC is supporting not one but two exascale supercomputers in the EU.
)So how can Gefion then have a six exaflop AI performance, you may wonder.
Well, AI performance means that it has this capacity specifically in tasks related to AI.
(Nvidias own Eos supercomputer, running at an undisclosed location, has 18.4 exaflops of AI performance.)
In either case, this is not the last push for more national capabilities in HPC and AI.
