 f5a6fc\n\nThe CEO and founder of  NVIDIA\, Jensen Huang\, described the ar
 tificial intelligence revolution as “a once in a lifetime opportunity”
  to show leadership in the field.  The architecture of a graphics processi
 ng unit is uniquely well-suited to performing the computational tasks used
  for running AI models.  Several years of intense engineering development 
 have resulted in a complete hardware and software platform for AI research
 \, development\, and large-scale deployment.  We will look at NVIDIA’s s
 trategy to address the most difficult computing challenges\, and the solut
 ions we have developed.  The Cambridge-1 AI supercomputer is a concrete ex
 ample of the capability.  This system\, which will be available for U.K. h
 ealthcare researchers to work on pressing problems\, is located at Kao Dat
 a\, a data centre using 100 percent renewable energy. Cambridge-1 would ra
 nk among the world’s top three most energy-efficient supercomputers.\n \
 nTimothy Lanfear manages NVIDIA’s European solution architecture and eng
 ineering team.  He has twenty-five years’ experience in HPC\, starting a
 s a computational scientist in British Aerospace’s corporate research ce
 ntre\, and then moving to technical pre-sales roles with Hitachi\, ClearSp
 eed\, and most recently NVIDIA. He has a degree in Electrical Engineering 
 and a PhD for research in the field of graph theory\, both from Imperial C
 ollege London. He is a Chartered Engineer and Member of the Institution of
  Engineering and Technology.\n
