India, June 30 -- NVIDIA technologies power more than 400 of the world's 500 fastest supercomputers - 81% of the TOP500 - according to the latest rankings at the ISC High Performance conference in Hamburg, Germany.

That's a gain of 17 systems from the previous list, with the momentum in new deployments: nearly nine of every 10 systems new to the ranking are built on NVIDIA technologies.

That percentage reflects a deliberate preference for machines built for AI, simulation and science together. And it's compounding: NVIDIA systems across the TOP500 now deliver more than 2x the AI training, and nearly 3x the AI inference throughput of every other platform combined.

GPU and networking adoption each hit new highs, with NVIDIA GPUs accelera...
