Group 42 (G42), the Abu Dhabi-based Artificial Intelligence and Cloud Computing company, announced that its Artemis supercomputer was ranked No.26th on the list of world’s TOP500 supercomputers as published on November 18, 2019.
This is the first time a UAE-based organization is making it to the TOP100 supercomputers list, a testimony to the increasingly important standing of the UAE in the global technology community.
The UAE ecosystem of industry and research communities will benefit from the availability of the Artemis supercomputer-based AI platform. G42 partnered with NVIDIA to deploy the first phase of this supercomputer, which delivers a total of 7.2 petaflops of double-precision HPL performance.
