"Today is a very big day. It’s a very proud day. It’s very proud because we’re announcing for the very first time a supercomputer based on a revolutionary processor and a revolutionary architecture called Vera Rubin. All of NVIDIA’s architectures are based on scientists. And it is incredibly exciting and very proud for us that this computer is going to be named after one of our time’s great scientists, Dr. Doudna."

8. SOUNDBITE (English) Jennifer Doudna, UC Berkeley professor and Nobel Prize winner:
"And now, today, I think we’re standing at a really interesting moment in biology that really marks the intersection of biology with computing and with the opportunities that you discussed to bring together teams of people that come from different disciplines to tackle challenges we’re facing across the globe that won’t be addressable without that kind of collaborative effort."

STORYLINE:
A new supercomputer named after a winner of the Nobel Prize in chemistry will help power artificial intelligence technology and scientific discoveries from a perch in the hills above the University of California, Berkeley, federal officials said Thursday.
U.S. Energy Secretary Chris Wright announced the project Thursday alongside executives from computer maker Dell Technologies and Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang.
