This article details a specialized hardware-software codesign between NVIDIA, HPE, and Los Alamos National Lab that integrates custom CPUs with the Vera Rubin platform for next-generation supercomputing. The system is explicitly architected to handle hybrid workloads combining traditional high-performance computing simulations with agentic AI reasoning for national security applications.
Codesign Results in Powerful Technology for Mission and Vision Supercomputers

Newswise — Last fall, Los Alamos National Laboratory unveiled plans for two new supercomputers, Mission and Vision, built by HPE and powered by the NVIDIA Vera Rubin platform. This summer, the first Vera CPU server arrives at Los Alamos for installation in a test bed, the result of an ongoing, rigorous codesign collaboration between Los Alamos, NVIDIA and their partners. Vera is powered by NVIDIA’s custom Olympus core, and will support both HPC and…
