MYSTERIOUS: Sandia national laboratories - What They Never Told You

As chip industry chases AI, US national labs look to newcomers for supercomputers

America's nuclear weapons program faces a computing crunch. High-precision simulations for nuclear weapons are becoming difficult to power. This is because major chip makers are focusing on artificial intelligence. Sandia National Laboratories is now testing chips from new companies like NextSilicon. This ensures the nation's security mission can continue uninterrupted.
