MEXICO CITY.- The president Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo announced that as part of the Mexico Plan will develop a supercomputing network with a “super computer“, the largest in Latin America.
During her morning conference this Wednesday, November 19 at the National Palace, Claudia Sheinbaum announced that the agreement will be made with the Barcelona Supercomputing Center.
Supercomputer will be 100% Mexican
Jorge Luis Pérez Hernándeznational coordinator of Digital Infrastructure, explained projects of the Mexican Supercomputing Center such as meteorological models, image processing for agriculture, customs information analysis and risk models, and language models with artificial intelligence.
The supercomputer It will be 100% Mexican. In addition, it will have a difference with the largest one that is in the south of the continent and “which is not from a government, it is from a private company,” he explained.
He indicated that with a “normal computer” like the one you have at home it is not possible to process the amount of data that is generated today: “We would be solving problems that we already have today until 2028, to mitigate this we have spoken with the Barcelona Supercomputing Center and we are going to start this collaboration to start solving these problems.”
