Kazakhstan’s media reports say Kazakhstan has introduced Central Asia's most powerful supercomputer, boasting a performance of approximately 2 exaflops and powered by Nvidia chips.
This marks the region's first supercomputing cluster, Kazinform news agency says, citing the Kazakh Ministry of Digital Development, Innovations and Aerospace Industry.
The supercomputer was reportedly assembled on the latest Nvidia H200 graphics chips, specifically designed for artificial intelligence and high-performance computing.
The supercomputer will be launched and installed at the Ministry of Digital Development, Innovations and Aerospace Industry’s new data center, which meets Tier III reliability standards to ensure stable, uninterrupted operation.
This launch reportedly marks a key step in fulfilling the President’s directive to build a national digital infrastructure and foster an AI ecosystem. The initiative goes beyond serving a narrow group of specialists—it's designed to support the development of the entire country’s digital ecosystem. These computing capabilities are already being applied across sectors such as healthcare, energy, education, and public services.
Importantly, the supercomputer’s resources will be accessible to a wide range of users. Startups needing computing power to train neural networks, universities conducting fundamental and applied research, as well as research centers and businesses integrating AI into their operations, will be able to tap into its capabilities.
