Canada joins the EU's EuroHPC network, expanding access to European supercomputing for Canadian entities. The EU plans substantial investments in AI centers and quantum tech, but experts caution it may not surpass US leadership or lessen dependence on American technology.
The conference brings researchers, vendors, and leaders together to discuss how advanced cyberinfrastructure enables faster discovery across HPC and AI, with emphasis on holistic system design, cost efficiency, and collaborative software for healthcare, data governance, and simulation-driven research.
Hyperion Research reports near-20% YoY growth in on-prem HPC and AI-for-Science servers for 1H2026, with Dell emerging as market leader at $4.2B, while HPE remains historic leader. Revenue growth outpaces unit growth, driven by AI workloads, GPU-heavy systems, and higher component costs; market analysis is based on buyer and supplier surveys.
Translated title. Original: Рынок серверов для HPC и научных ИИ-задач вырос почти на 20 % — впервые за четверть века в лидеры выбилась Dell
The local HPC and scientific AI server market grew about 19–20% in H1 2026, with Dell taking the top spot for the first time in decades as revenue reached $4.2B, surpassing long-time leader HPE. Growth is driven by large contracts and expanding customer bases amid rising GPU usage and memory costs; despite strong revenue growth, unit sales rose only modestly, signaling higher system prices. Global AI and HPC expenditures remain substantial, with 2025 annual AI/NRP spending above $70B.
Sponsored Google Cloud content describes Antigravity for HPC code modernization, cluster setup, and runtime recovery, and AlphaEvolve for optimizing kernels, solvers, and scheduling. It presents the tools as a way to reduce engineering work in scientific computing.
DeepSeek, a Shanghai-based AI startup, has raised substantial new funding (around $15 billion) and previously reported a $74 billion valuation. It is backed solely by the China quant hedge fund High-Flyer Quant, whose co-founder Liang Wenfeng also leads DeepSeek as CEO. The firm has outlined IPO plans for Shanghai in 2027 amid ongoing fundraising rounds and valuation debates, while facing past platform disruptions and scrutiny around funding and partnerships.
Researchers from multiple institutions implemented a multiscale simulation pipeline that blends GPU acceleration, classical supercomputing, and quantum computing to model GPCR proteins. The approach achieves significant speedups and preserves quantum-level detail to study biomolecular processes, with plans to scale to larger simulations across heterogeneous architectures.
DeepSeek, a Chinese AI startup valued at around $74 billion, pursued multiple funding rounds in 2026 and planned a 2027 Shanghai IPO. The narrative ties the company to founder Liang Wenfeng and the High-Flyer Quant hedge fund, describing funding milestones, ownership shifts, regulatory scrutiny, and its open-source AI initiatives.
Workshop on AI on HPC discusses challenges and opportunities for performance engineering, with topics from workload characterization to next-gen systems and benchmarking.
