Meet Dawn, one of the most powerful AI supercomputer in the UK. With more than a thousand top-end Intel graphics processing units (GPUs) operating inside its server stacks, Dawn enables scientists within the University of Cambridge and across the UK to make advances in critical research fields such as clean energy, personalised medicine and climate.
Dawn has been created via a highly innovative long-term co-design partnership between the University of Cambridge, UK Research & Innovation, the UK Atomic Energy Authority and global tech leaders Intel and Dell Technologies. This partnership brings highly valuable technology first-mover status and inward investment into the UK technology sector.
Ambitious goals in clean energy
Fusion is the natural process that powers our Sun. If fusion energy can be harnessed economically on Earth, it will provide a near-limitless form of clean, safe electricity. Find out how the UK Atomic Energy Authority is designing the UK’s prototype fusion energy power plant with the help of Dawn. Their work is paving the way for accelerating the use of fusion energy in the UK.
