Role in Prometheus
Founding technology partner since the February 2026 seed phase: GPU-accelerated computing, Omniverse digital-twin infrastructure, and generative AI model architectures for complex physics; accelerating nuclear simulation codes (MOOSE, BISON, Griffin, Pronghorn) on GPU architectures.

Notes
Press describes Prometheus as 'led by INL, NVIDIA and AWS'; no public dollar tier disclosed (INL consortium overview confirms tier structure but not per-partner tiers beyond board-seat logic). NVIDIA also appears as a collaborator on the separate Brookhaven-led GridFM Genesis Phase II award (2026-09-01), not Prometheus-scoped.
