Nvidia is pushing agentic AI for scientific computing, and says that this requires a new scientific computing stack, which the GPU giant is ready to deliver, of course.

At the ISC High Performance 2026 event in Hamburg, Germany, Nvidia is lauding its own achievements in supercomputing, highlighting just how many of the world’s top compute clusters use its hardware these days.

But just as agentic AI has become this year’s buzzword in the machine intelligence industry, so the GPU slinger is pushing it as the next big thing for supercomputers and their research programs, driven by its next-gen Vera Rubin platform and new software tools.

“We are currently witnessing a massive inflection point with agentic AI. AI is shifting from a tool that simply answers questions to an autonomous system that executes complex tasks,” Nvidia’s senior director of HPC and AI Factory Solutions Dion Harris told the media in a...
