NVIDIA and Oracle are expanding their collaboration to accelerate AI and data processing capabilities for enterprises, as announced at Oracle CloudWorld 2024.
NVIDIA reports that Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) has unveiled the first zettascale OCI Supercluster, powered by NVIDIA's Blackwell platform. Set for availability in the first half of next year, this supercluster will utilise over 100,000 of NVIDIA's latest-generation GPUs, delivering up to 2.4 zettaflops of peak AI compute to the cloud.
The partnership extends to database workloads, with Oracle Autonomous Database gaining NVIDIA GPU support for Oracle Machine Learning notebooks. This integration aims to accelerate data processing workloads and enhance generative AI capabilities within Oracle's database ecosystem.
NVIDIA and Oracle are also collaborating on sovereign AI infrastructure worldwide. Examples include Wide Labs' Amazonia IA, one of the first large language models for Brazilian Portuguese, trained using NVIDIA H100 Tensor Core GPUs and the NVIDIA NeMo framework in OCI's Brazilian data centers.
"Developing a sovereign LLM allows us to offer clients a service that processes their data within Brazilian borders, giving Amazônia a unique market position," said Nelson Leoni, CEO of Wide Labs.
The collaboration between NVIDIA and Oracle is set to provide enterprises with powerful tools for AI adoption and data processing optimisation. These advancements show promise to drive innovation across various sectors, from financial services to climate change mitigation.
