At ISC High Performance 2026 and in concurrent Nvidia releases, the company highlighted agentic AI workflows for scientific research and new supercomputing platforms. At a media briefing, Dion Harris, Nvidia’s senior director of HPC and AI Factory Solutions, said “We are currently witnessing a massive inflection point with agentic AI,” and described agents that call simulators, surrogate models and tools as part of unified workflows (The Register). Nvidia’s June 22 press materials announce the Vera Rubin rack-scale platform delivering 7 Exaflops of AI for Science and 5 Petaflops of native FP64, and a separate Nvidia blog details the Los Alamos National Laboratory systems Mission, Vision and Veritas built with HPE and Nvidia hardware, including about 2,300 and 1,150 standalone Vera CPUs in planned configurations (Nvidia blog; Nvidia press release).
