Why Nvidia Stock Rose Today
Shares of Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA) climbed 2% on Wednesday after the semiconductor giant announced an agreement with the U.S. Department of Energy.
Nvidia's accelerated computing platform will power a supercomputer built by Hewlett Packard Enterprise at the Argonne National Laboratory. The Polaris supercomputer will be capable of completing high-performance and data-intensive artificial intelligence (AI) computing workloads.
"Polaris is a powerful platform that will allow our users to enter the era of exascale AI," Argonne Director Michael Papka said in a press release. Exascale computing systems can perform at least one quintillion calculations per second.
