Zacks Equity Research
·3-min read

NVIDIA NVDA is extending the capabilities of its supercomputing centers worldwide with its CUDA-Q platform. NVDA is using quantum processing units (QPUs) to improve its high-performance computing systems across Germany, Japan and Poland.

NVIDIA’s CUDA-Q is an open-source platform designed to seamlessly integrate and program QPUs, graphics processing units (GPUs) and central processing units within a single system.

The company is combining a QPU from IQM Quantum computers with NVIDIA’s own JUPITER supercomputer in Germany’s Jülich Supercomputing Centre (JSC). The supercomputer in JSC is already integrated with NVIDIA's GH200 Grace Hopper Superchip. The further enhancement of computing capability with quantum applications will help JSC in chemical simulations and optimization problems.

In Japan, the ABCI-Q supercomputer at the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology will feature a QPU from QuEra, expanding the country’s quantum computing initiative and allowing research into quantum applications across various fields.

The Poznan Supercomputing and Networking Center in Poland has installed photonic QPUs from ORCA Computing. The center has also enhanced its supercomputer with NVIDIA’s Hopper technology for researchers to help them explore biology, chemistry and machine learning with quantum photonics systems.

NVDA is capitalizing on the robust expansion of artificial intelligence (AI), as well as high-performance and accelerated computing. Within the data center end market, the business is experiencing gains due to increasing interest in generative AI and large language models, which rely on GPUs utilizing NVIDIA's Hopper and Ampere architectures.

The enhancement of quantum computing centers will add new prospects for NVIDIA. Moreover, the company will gain from the growing AI trend and high-performance computing requirements for data analysis and machine learning throughout the world.

  • How to navigate CD investments before an interest rate cut

    As interest rates remain high and Wall Street awaits the Federal Reserve's rate cut, Curinos head of wealth Korrynn Baltzersen joins Wealth! to discuss how investors should navigate certificates of deposit (CDs) amid the current economic backdrop. "What we've seen for the first time in recent history is that wealth clients are adopting retail CDs. And what's happening there, at the start of 2023, CDs represented just 3% of wealth deposits. And clients were adopting CDs, about 10% of acquisition balances going into retail CDs. That picked up greatly last year, as you could get to a 5% handle on a CD, there's something in the mentality of an investor that 5% seems great. And so even wealth clients started adopting CDs at a much higher pace," Baltzersen explains. She notes that historically when the Federal Reserve has started cutting interest rates, "that's when the market outperformance led more investors into the market versus keeping that money in cash." She believes there will be a "real shift" once investors can no longer get a 5% handle, as "they can just get a higher yield in the market."

  • Will Fed rate cut be 'reactive or proactive'?

    The June ISM manufacturing data fell short of expectations, reigniting speculation about a potential Federal Reserve rate cut. BCA Research chief US equity strategist Irene Tunkel joins Catalysts to share her insights on the central bank's next moves. Tunkel observes that "bad news appears to be good news" in this context. The slowing economic growth, she argues, creates conditions favorable for a Federal Reserve interest rate cut. She anticipates the first cut could come by the end of the year, partly due to "political uncertainty." However, Tunkel emphasizes that the crucial factor is whether the Fed's rate cut is "reactive or proactive." "I would argue that it may not matter when the Fed exactly cuts interest rates, but it matters what they say, and what is the perception of the market about the trajectory of interest rates," Tunkel tells Yahoo Finance.

  • US manufacturing extends slump; inflation pressures ebbing

    U.S. manufacturing contracted for a third straight month in June as demand remained subdued, while a drop in a measure of prices paid by factories for inputs to a six-month low suggested that inflation could continue to subside. The weakness at the end of the second quarter reported by the Institute for Supply Management on Monday was across the board, with ISM Manufacturing Business Survey Committee Chair Timothy Fiore describing manufacturers as demonstrating "an unwillingness to invest in capital and inventory due to current monetary policy and other conditions." Manufacturing is being pressured by higher interest rates and softening demand for goods, though business investment has largely held up.
