LANL to Build Three Supercomputers with NVIDIA Vera CPUs for Agentic Scientific AI
By
Chris Porter
Summary
Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) is building three new supercomputers — Mission, Vision, and Veritas — in partnership with HPE and NVIDIA. These systems will use the NVIDIA Vera Rubin platform, combining Vera CPUs, Rubin GPUs, and Quantum-X800 InfiniBand networking. The supercomputers are designed to accelerate scientific discovery through agentic AI, materials simulation, and molecular design. The Mission system will include 2,300 standalone NVIDIA Vera CPUs using HPE Cray Supercomputing GX240 blades.
