Graphics chip giant Nvidia has acquired Bright Computing, a leader in high-performance computing systems management software used by more than 700 organizations worldwide, for an undisclosed sum.
Founded in 2009 and based in Amsterdam, leading HPC software company Bright Computing counts names like Boeing, NASA, Johns Hopkins University and Siemens among its clients, among others.
Nvidia said in a statement late Monday that it has worked with Bright for more than a decade as they integrate their software with “our GPUs, network, CUDA, and more recently our DGX systems.”
“Nvidia is changing the world as we know it, and we couldn’t be more excited for our team and software to play a role in this,” said Bill Wagner, CEO of Bright Computing.
The graphics chip maker sees an opportunity to combine its system software capabilities to make it easier to buy, build and operate HPC data centers, creating a much larger future for HPC.
NVIDIA partners will bring Bright’s software to other markets. And Bright’s software and expertise will enhance our growing NVIDIA DGX and data center businesses, the company said.
The latest acquisition comes as the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) in the United States filed a lawsuit to block Nvidia’s acquisition of Arm from Softbank for $40 billion on antitrust grounds.
UK and EU regulators also refused to approve the transaction in phase 1 of their competition concerns reviews.
Nvidia’s $40 billion acquisition of British chip designer Arm is now under closer scrutiny by the British watchdog.
The European Commission has also opened an in-depth investigation to assess Nvidia’s acquisition of Arm.
