YTL Power International Bhd has unveiled the establishment of YTL AI Cloud, a specialized provider of extensive GPU-based accelerated computing services. This move comes as the company prepares to deploy and oversee one of the world’s most cutting-edge supercomputers, powered by Nvidia Grace Blackwell technology on the DGX Cloud platform, tailored for advancing generative AI development.
Being among the early adopters of Nvidia GB200 NVL72, YTL is set to implement a state-of-the-art multi-node, liquid-cooled rack-scale system equipped with fifth-generation NVLink technology. The supercomputer will boast interconnection via the Nvidia Quantum InfiniBand networking platform, delivering a singular GPU with a staggering 1.4 exaflops of AI performance and 30TB of fast memory, tailored for highly demanding computational workloads.
With an AI compute capability exceeding 300 exaflops, the YTL AI Supercomputer is poised to rank among the fastest globally. Jensen Huang, the founder and CEO of Nvidia, expressed the company’s commitment to collaborating with YTL AI Cloud in introducing a top-tier accelerated computing platform to Southeast Asia, aimed at propelling scientific research, innovation, and economic development throughout the region.
YTL Power International’s managing director, Datuk Seri Yeoh Seok Hong, emphasized the pride in partnering with Nvidia and the Malaysian government to introduce robust AI cloud computing capabilities to Malaysia and the wider Asia Pacific region. The deployment of this supercomputing powerhouse is aligned with the region’s status as a hub for rapid cloud growth and innovation in AI applications.
Situated within the YTL Green Data Center Campus in Johor, spanning 1,640 acres and powered by renewable energy sourced from an on-site 500MW solar power facility, the YTL AI Supercomputer embodies a commitment to sustainability. It is expected to address the rising demand for scalable, high-performance cloud-based solutions tailored for AI and machine learning workloads.
