Australia’s new $6.5m ‘supercomputer’ to support Victoria’s medical research

The system is designed to process large-scale health datasets in a matter of hours.

The Australian government has invested $6.5m (A$10m) to deliver the NVIDIA DGX H200 supercomputer to support medical research in Victoria.

The system, housed at the Australian Centre for Artificial Intelligence in Medical Innovation, is designed to process complex three-dimensional medical imaging and large-scale health datasets in a matter of hours.

It will support research across multiple areas such as precision oncology, immunotherapy, digital pathology, and cardiovascular risk prediction.

The system is also expected to accelerate developments in breast and colorectal cancer relapse-risk prediction.
