Why Does Kazakhstan Need the Most Powerful Supercomputer in Central Asia?
Kazakhstan’s Ministry of Digital Development, Innovation, and Aerospace Industry has announced the delivery and installation of a supercomputer with an immense computing power approaching two exaflops. The Ministry proudly states that this is the most powerful machine in all of Central Asia, poised to drive a major breakthrough in the development and training of artificial intelligence (AI).
“This is the first supercomputing cluster in the history of the Central Asian region. It is built on the latest NVIDIA H200 graphics chips, designed specifically for artificial intelligence and high-performance computing,” the Ministry noted.
According to ministry experts, this is not just a powerful computer – it is a full-fledged computing cluster, the first of its kind in Central Asian countries. The secret behind its unprecedented capacity lies in its core: state-of-the-art NVIDIA H200 GPUs, engineered to tackle complex AI and high-performance computing tasks. This means Kazakhstan will now be capable of solving extraordinarily complex problems that were previously considered unmanageable.
The supercomputer will be available to a wide range of users for a variety of applications. From processing massive medical datasets in the healthcare sector to modeling the behavior of complex systems in the energy industry, its potential impact is broad. The education sector will also benefit, gaining access to a powerful tool for scientific research and the training of students in emerging technologies.
Crucially for the country’s economy, startups working on neural networks and AI development will gain access to this powerful computing resource. This will allow them to bring new products and services to market faster, using infrastructure that was previously out of reach. Universities will be able to conduct advanced research, while scientific institutions and companies will integrate AI more actively into their operations – boosting efficiency and competitiveness.
