소프트뱅크의 자회사가 엔비디아 블랙웰(Nvidia Blackwell) 칩을 사용해 슈퍼컴퓨터를 구축할 계획

 

SoftBank's telecom unit in Japan is set to build a supercomputer using Nvidia's latest Blackwell chips.

At the Nvidia AI Summit in Japan, founder and CEO Jensen Huang announced that SoftBank Corp will be the first to receive Nvidia’s DGX B200 systems.

 

일본의 소프트뱅크 통신 부문이 엔비디아의 최신 블랙웰 칩을 사용해 슈퍼컴퓨터를 구축할 예정입니다.

일본에서 열린 엔비디아 AI 서밋에서 창립자 겸 CEO인 젠슨 황(Jensen Huang)은 소프트뱅크가 최초로 엔비디아의 DGX B200 시스템을 받게 될 것이라고 발표했습니다.

 

These DGX B200 systems will form the foundation of SoftBank’s new Nvidia DGX SuperPOD supercomputer, designed to accelerate the development of generative AI and AI-driven business initiatives across Japan.

 

이 DGX B200 시스템들은 일본 전역에서 생성 AI와 AI 기반 비즈니스 이니셔티브 개발을 가속화하기 위해 설계된 소프트뱅크의 새로운 Nvidia DGX SuperPOD 슈퍼컴퓨터의 기반이 될 것입니다.

 

Once completed, the DGX SuperPOD is set to be Japan's most performant supercomputer.

Equipped with Nvidia AI Enterprise software and Nvidia Quantum-2 InfiniBand networking, it is tailored for developing large language models.

 

완성되면 DGX SuperPOD는 일본에서 가장 높은 성능을 가진 슈퍼컴퓨터가 될 것입니다.

이 시스템은 Nvidia AI 엔터프라이즈 소프트웨어와 Nvidia Quantum-2 인피니밴드 네트워킹을 갖추고 있어 대규모 언어 모델 개발에 최적화되어 있습니다.

 

This infrastructure is expected to enhance AI capabilities for universities, research institutions and businesses in Japan.

In addition to the DGX SuperPOD, SoftBank plans to develop another Nvidia-accelerated supercomputer.

 

이 인프라는 일본의 대학, 연구 기관 및 기업의 AI 역량을 강화할 것으로 예상됩니다.

DGX SuperPOD 외에도 소프트뱅크는 또 다른 엔비디아 가속 슈퍼컴퓨터를 개발할 계획입니다.

 

This will handle compute-intensive workloads, leveraging an Nvidia Grace Blackwell platform with GB200 NVL72 multi-node, liquid-cooled systems.

These systems integrate Nvidia Blackwell graphics processing units with Arm-based Nvidia Grace central processing units.

 

이 슈퍼컴퓨터는 계산 집약적인 작업을 처리하며, GB200 NVL72 멀티 노드, 액체 냉각 시스템이 포함된 엔비디아 그레이스 블랙웰 플랫폼을 활용할 것입니다.

이 시스템은 엔비디아 블랙웰 그래픽 처리 장치와 Arm 기반의 엔비디아 그레이스 중앙 처리 장치를 통합하고 있습니다.

 

Nvidia also disclosed that SoftBank has piloted a novel telecommunications network using the Nvidia AI Aerial platform.

This network can simultaneously manage AI and 5G workloads, known as AI-RAN.

 

엔비디아는 또한 소프트뱅크가 엔비디아 AI Aerial 플랫폼을 사용해 새로운 통신 네트워크를 시험 운영했다고 공개했습니다.

이 네트워크는 AI와 5G 워크로드를 동시에 관리할 수 있으며, AI-RAN으로 알려져 있습니다.

 

Huang said: “With SoftBank’s significant investment in Nvidia’s full-stack AI, Omniverse and 5G AI-RAN platforms, Japan is leaping into the AI industrial revolution to become a global leader, driving a new era of growth across the telecommunications, transportation, robotics and healthcare industries in ways that will greatly benefit humankind in the age of AI.”

황 CEO는 다음과 같이 말했습니다. “소프트뱅크가 엔비디아의 풀스택 AI, 옴니버스, 그리고 5G AI-RAN 플랫폼에 대한 대규모 투자를 통해 일본은 AI 산업 혁명으로 도약하고 있으며, 이를 통해 통신, 운송, 로봇 공학, 헬스케어 산업 전반에 걸쳐 새로운 성장 시대를 주도하여 AI 시대에 인류에게 큰 혜택을 제공할 것입니다.”

 

SoftBank president and CEO Junichi Miyakawa said: “With our extremely powerful AI infrastructure and our new, distributed AI-RAN solution ‘AITRAS’ that reinvents 5G networks for AI, we will accelerate innovation across the country and throughout the world.”

Furthermore, SoftBank, in collaboration with Nvidia, aims to establish an AI marketplace using Nvidia AI Enterprise software.

 

소프트뱅크의 사장 겸 CEO인 미야카와 준이치는 “매우 강력한 AI 인프라와 AI를 위한 5G 네트워크를 새롭게 정의하는 새로운 분산형 AI-RAN 솔루션 ‘AITRAS’를 통해 일본 전역과 전 세계에서 혁신을 가속화할 것입니다”라고 말했습니다.

또한 소프트뱅크는 엔비디아와 협력하여 Nvidia AI 엔터프라이즈 소프트웨어를 사용한 AI 마켓플레이스를 구축할 계획입니다.

 

This service will support AI training and edge AI inference, positioning SoftBank as the AI grid for Japan.

It is expected to enable new business opportunities in AI services across various industries.

 

이 서비스는 AI 학습과 엣지 AI 추론을 지원하여 소프트뱅크를 일본의 AI 그리드로 자리매김하게 할 것입니다.
이를 통해 다양한 산업에서 AI 서비스의 새로운 비즈니스 기회를 창출할 것으로 예상됩니다.

 

Last month, Nvidia expanded its AI partnerships with several Indian companies including Reliance Industries, Tech Mahindra and Tata Communications.
