"By backing our fusion industry, we are not only securing our future energy independence, but from innovation and research to engineers, we are also providing the skilled clean energy jobs of the future for British people."
"Sunrise is being built to tackle fusion energy challenges in areas such as plasma turbulence, materials development and tritium fuel breeding. It is also being positioned to strengthen essential AI capabilities at Culham Campus and across the UK's high-performance computing landscape, contributing to the government's AI Opportunities Action Plan and AI for Science strategy."
The UK government is investing £45 million into Sunrise, a 1.4MW AI supercomputer located at Culham Campus in Oxfordshire, home to the UK's first AI Growth Zone. Unveiled as part of the UK's Fusion Strategy, Sunrise is scheduled for completion by June and is claimed to be the world's most powerful AI supercomputer dedicated to fusion energy. The supercomputer will address fusion energy challenges including plasma turbulence, materials development, and tritium fuel breeding. Built through collaboration between AMD, Dell Technologies, Intel, UKAEA, the University of Cambridge, and Weka, Sunrise uses AMD Epyc processors and Instinct GPU acceleration. The investment aims to secure UK energy independence, strengthen AI capabilities, and support the government's AI Opportunities Action Plan and AI for Science strategy.
