Nov. 14, 2025 — With the pace of scientific discovery moving faster than ever, Google Cloud is excited to join the supercomputing community as it gets ready for its annual flagship event, SC25, in St. Louis from November 16-21, 2025.
There, the Company will share how it’s poised to help with its lineup of HPC and AI technologies and innovations, helping researchers, scientists, and engineers solve some of humanity’s biggest challenges.
Redefining supercomputing with cloud-native HPC
Supercomputers are evolving from a rigid, capital-intensive resource into an adaptable, scalable service. To go from “HPC in the cloud” to “cloud-native HPC,” Google Cloud leverages core principles of automation and elastic infrastructure to fundamentally change how you consume HPC resources, allowing you to spin up purpose-built clusters in minutes with the exact resources you need.
This cloud-native model is very flexible. You can augment an on-premises cluster to meet peak demand or build a cloud-native system tailored with the right mix of hardware for your specific problem — be it the latest CPUs, GPUs, or TPUs. With this approach, Google Cloud is democratizing HPC, putting world-class capabilities into the hands of startups, academics, labs, and enterprise teams alike.
Key highlights at SC25:
- Next-generation infrastructure: Google Cloud will be showcasing its latest H4D VMs, powered by 5th generation AMD EPYC processors and featuring Cloud RDMA for low-latency networking. You’ll also see the Company’s latest accelerated compute resources including A4X and A4X Max VMs featuring the latest NVIDIA GPUs with RDMA.
- Powering your essential applications: Run your most demanding simulations at massive scale — from Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) with Ansys, to Computer-Aided Engineering with Siemens, computational chemistry with Schrodinger, and risk modeling in FSI.
- Dynamic Workload Scheduler: Discover how Dynamic Workload Scheduler and its innovative Flex Start mode, integrated with familiar schedulers like Slurm, is reshaping HPC consumption. Move beyond static queues toward flexible, cost-effective, and efficient access to high-demand compute resources.
- Easier HPC with Cluster Toolkit: Learn how Cluster Toolkit can help you deploy a supercomputer-scale cluster with less than 50 lines of code.
- High-throughput, scalable storage: Get a deep dive into Google Cloud Managed Lustre, a fully managed, high-performance parallel file system that can handle your most demanding HPC and AI workloads.
- Hybrid for the enterprise: For enterprise customers, especially in financial services, Google Cloud is enabling hybrid cloud with IBM Spectrum Symphony Connectors, allowing you to migrate or burst workloads to Google Cloud and reduce time-to-solution.
AI-powered scientific discovery
There’s a powerful synergy between HPC and AI — where HPC builds more powerful AI, and AI makes HPC faster and more insightful. This complementary relationship is fundamentally changing how research is done, accelerating discovery in everything from drug development and climate modeling to new materials and engineering. Google Cloud is at the forefront of this transformation, building the models, tools, and platforms that make it possible.
What to look for:
- AI for scientific productivity: Google Cloud will be showcasing Google’s suite of AI tools designed to enhance the entire research lifecycle. From Idea Generation agent to Gemini Code Assist with Gemini Enterprise, you’ll see how AI can augment your capabilities and accelerate discovery.
- AI-powered scientific applications: Learn about the latest advancements in Google Cloud’s AI-powered scientific applications including AlphaFold 3 and Weather Next
- The power of TPUs: Explore Google’s TPUs, including the latest seventh-generation Ironwood model, and discover how they can enhance AI workload performance and efficiency.
