The U.S. military's most powerful supercomputer, a DGX GB300 system built by NVIDIA, is now operational at Naval Support Activity Monterey, California. The system, installed at the Naval Postgraduate School (NPS), combines 36 NVIDIA Grace CPUs with 72 NVIDIA Blackwell Ultra GPUs to process large volumes of work in parallel, enabling advanced AI applications. A ribbon-cutting ceremony featured NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang and U.S. Pacific Command chief Adm. Samuel Paparo. The supercomputer will support research in logistics, cybersecurity, and high-resolution weather and ocean modeling for military operations. It is part of a cooperative research and development agreement between NPS and NVIDIA, aimed at making NPS a premier AI institution. The system is available to NPS students and faculty, with demand carefully managed. NPS also launched a new master's program in AI with an initial cohort of 11 students.
