Overview
- Nvidia donated and commissioned a DGX GB300 system at the Naval Postgraduate School in Monterey, which went live on Wednesday, July 22, 2026, company and Navy officials said.
- Navy and NPS statements say the machine combines 36 NVIDIA Grace CPUs with 72 Blackwell Ultra GPUs but they did not disclose the system's total aggregate capacity.
- NPS will make the supercomputer available to students and faculty under an initial demand‑management plan to prioritize research and training workloads.
- Officials and Nvidia highlighted defense applications such as higher-resolution meteorology and oceanography models, logistics and supply-chain simulations, cybersecurity analysis, and in-house model training and digital twins.
- The donation follows a December 2024 cooperative research and development agreement and marks the first direct deployment of Nvidia's most advanced servers at a U.S. military institution, a step that could speed applied AI work and deepen industry-military partnerships.
