The U.S. Department of Energy and Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) have announced a $1 billion partnership to build two next-generation supercomputers, named Lux and Discovery, <\/strong>at Oak Ridge National Laboratory in Tennessee. The systems are designed to accelerate research in nuclear energy, national security, and cancer treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Energy Secretary Chris Wright said the new systems will \u201csupercharge\u201d innovation in nuclear and fusion energy, drug development, and defense technologies by providing unprecedented computational power. The Lux system, co-developed with AMD, Hewlett Packard Enterprise, Oracle Cloud, and Oak Ridge National Laboratory, will launch within six months and deliver roughly three times the AI capacity of current U.S. supercomputers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Powered by AMD\u2019s new MI355X AI chips, Lux marks the fastest large-scale supercomputer deployment in U.S. history. The second system, Discovery, featuring AMD\u2019s upcoming MI430 chips, is expected to be available in 2029 and will further expand America\u2019s high-performance computing and AI capabilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Supercomputers handle calculations millions to billions of times faster than standard laptops by connecting thousands of processors that work simultaneously\u2014a technique called parallel processing. Learn more about how supercomputers operate here<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Both systems will support joint public-private research, with the DOE hosting the machines and partners sharing access. Officials say this collaboration signals the start of a new era of U.S. investment in supercomputing infrastructure to accelerate scientific discovery and maintain global competitiveness in AI and energy innovation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The U.S. hosts over 170 supercomputers, including five of the world\u2019s ten most powerful<\/a>. China and Germany follow in second and third place for total systems (view breakdown<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
