NCHC Launches “Nano4” AI Supercomputer to Power Next-Generation AI Innovation

To address the rapidly growing computational demands driven by generative artificial intelligence (AI), the National Center for High-performance Computing (NCHC) under the National Institutes of Applied Research (NIAR) officially launched its newest AI supercomputing system, “Nano4” (Chip Innovation 26), on June 1, 2026. The new system provides enhanced AI computing resources for academia, government agencies, and industry users.

Nano4 is a key outcome of the “Chip-Driven Industrial Innovation Upgrade: Next-Generation High-Performance Computing and AI Evaluation Environment Project” (Chip Innovation Program). Designed specifically for large-scale generative AI model training, inference, and high-performance computing applications, the system is equipped with the latest NVIDIA H200 GPUs, featuring eight GPUs per server, a 400 Gb/s high-speed network, and 2 TB of memory per node. This advanced architecture significantly improves performance for AI development, scientific simulations, data analytics, and other compute-intensive workloads.

The deployment of Nano4 further strengthens Taiwan’s sovereign computing infrastructure and supports research and innovation in key fields such as AI, semiconductors, biomedical sciences, climate modeling, digital twins, and smart manufacturing. It will help accelerate technology development and real-world applications across academia, government, and industry.

To encourage users to explore the new AI computing platform, NCHC will offer a free trial period throughout June, followed by the start of full commercial operations in July. This phased rollout will allow users to familiarize themselves with the system and optimize their workflows.

Looking ahead, NCHC will continue expanding Taiwan’s national computing capabilities by integrating AI, high-performance computing (HPC), and cloud technologies, providing a robust computing foundation for scientific innovation and industrial transformation.

NCHC welcomes research institutions, government organizations, and enterprises with needs in AI, HPC, and large-scale data analytics to leverage these national computing resources and help drive Taiwan into the next era of intelligent technology.
