AI breakthroughs depend on advanced computing — and advanced computing depends on resilient energy systems. Through Oak Ridge National Laboratory's Next-Generation Data Centers Institute — a laboratory-wide initiative aligning our computing and energy expertise — we are connecting #AI platforms such as Discovery and Lux with innovations in power architecture, cooling, and intelligent load management. Sustained AI progress requires infrastructure designed for performance, reliability, and scale. NGDCI brings ORNL’s computing science and energy systems strengths together to make that possible. Thank you to our partners Forrest Norrod of AMD and Ian Buck of NVIDIA for your support of this effort. 🔗 https://bit.ly/4sdoOVR
