integrating Nvidia A100 Tensor Core GPUs, BlueField-2 DPUs and Nvidia HDR InfiniBand networking.
UK expertise, global impact Cambridge-1 gives Nvidia a platform to work with world-class UK universities, life sciences companies, healthcare providers and more than a thousand start-ups, Huang explained. As part of Wednesday’s event, key Cambridge-1 partners gathered to talk about the breakthroughs they’re pursuing with the new machine. AstraZeneca uses Cambridge-1 to
train a model named MegaMolBART. With it, the pharmaceutical giant can borrow techniques from natural language processing to help discover new drugs, explained Lindsay Edwards, vice president of data science and AI, respiratory and immunology, biopharmaceuticals R&D at AstraZeneca.

and St Thomas’ NHS Foundation Trust are using Cambridge-1 to teach AI models to generate images of synthetic brains, trained using tens of thousands of MRI brain scans across various ages and diseases.
With enough medical imagery of a specific disease, ‘we can start to understand the evolution or the progression of a disease,’ said Sebastian Ourselin, head of the School of Biomedical Engineering and Imaging Sciences at King’s College London. Oxford Nanopore, a member of the
Nvidia Inception start-up accelerator program, uses innovative sensors and AI algorithms running on Nvidia GPU supercomputers to digitise DNA into sequences of billions of characters. Oxford Nanopore’s technology
helped to characterise the coronavirus genome. Now it’s being used to do rapid testing and identify variants of the virus, making the UK a leader in this area.l
