 Tech giant NVIDIA announced Project DIGITS, the world’s smallest AI supercomputer, on Monday, January 6.




 It’s a personal device that allows AI researchers, data scientists, and students to harness the power of the NVIDIA Grace Blackwell platform.




 Project DIGITS uses the new NVIDIA GB10 Grace Blackwell Superchip, which offers a petaflop of AI computing performance.




 The Cambridge Dictionary defines a “petaflop” as 1 quadrillion (1,000,000,000,000,000) calculations per second. 




 This computing power facilitates prototyping, fine-tuning, and running AI models. Moreover, this AI supercomputer can operate on your own desktop system.

 The GB10 Superchip enables Project DIGITS to deliver peerless performance using only a standard electrical outlet. Also, this supercomputer has the following components: 





  • Blackwell GPU providing 1 PFLOP FP4 AI Compute




  • Grace CPU with 20 Arm Cores




  • 128GB Low-Power DDR5X, High-Bandwidth Unified Memory




  • 4TB of NVMe storage




  • ConnectX (NCCL, RDMA, GPUDirect)




  • Connectivity (Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, USB)
