SAN JOSE, Calif., March 18, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- GTC -- To accelerate efforts to combat the $140 billion in economic losses due to extreme weather brought on by climate change, NVIDIA today announced its Earth-2 climate digital twin cloud platform for simulating and visualizing weather and climate at unprecedented scale.
Key Points:
- SAN JOSE, Calif., March 18, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- GTC -- To accelerate efforts to combat the $140 billion in economic losses due to extreme weather brought on by climate change, NVIDIA today announced its Earth-2 climate digital twin cloud platform for simulating and visualizing weather and climate at unprecedented scale.
- “Climate disasters are now normal — historic droughts, catastrophic hurricanes and generational floods appear in the news with alarming frequency,” said Jensen Huang, founder and CEO of NVIDIA.
- It also includes GPU acceleration of numerical weather prediction models like ICON on the latest NVIDIA Grace Hopper™ systems.
- Running on NVIDIA DGX GH200, HGX™ H100 and OVX™ supercomputers, Earth-2 may provide a path to simulate and visualize the global climate simulations at unprecedented speed and scale.
