المملكة: The strongest in the Middle East… tremendous computer features "Shaheen 3" From KAUST
Revealed King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST) about the most powerful supercomputer in Middle East "Shaheen 3"designed by the American Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE).
It is approved "Shaheen 3" on the HPE Cray (GPU) private "Shaheen 3" From HPE, in full compliance with the terms of export licenses issued by the Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) of the US Department of Commerce.
This achievement reflects the growing capabilities of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia in promoting scientific excellence on a global scale.
18 globally
According to the latest rankings of the TOP500 website, which ranks the 500 most powerful supercomputer systems in the world, which were announced during the International Conference on High-Performance Computing, Networking, Storage, and Analysis (SC25), held In St. Louis, Missouri, during the period from November 16 to 21, he achieved… "Shaheen 3" It ranks highly among the list of the most powerful supercomputers in the world, ranking first in the Middle East and 18th globally.
The first kingdom in the Middle East.
Today, Saudi Arabia is at the forefront of the supercomputing system after achieving "Shaheen-3" KAUST ranks first in the Middle East and 18th globally on the list "Top 500"
With the start of operation of the department dedicated to GPU processors in early 2026, KAUST faculty members will be able to conduct world-class research in line with the priorities of the research, development and innovation system in the Kingdom.
A digital twin for the Arabian Peninsula
Among the most prominent applications that it will support "Shaheen 3" Developing a new generation of Arabic-focused small and large language models (LLMs), specifically designed to reflect the linguistic specificity and cultural context of the Arab world.
It will shape "Shaheen 3" The foundation for creating a digital twin of the entire Arabian Peninsula, which is an integrated simulation environment linking air, sea, and land operations, to provide unprecedented insights into regional climate dynamics, and to deal with extreme natural phenomena and extreme environmental disasters, such as managing oil spills, and improving maritime traffic.
In addition to climate science and data, it will create capabilities "Shaheen 3" A paradigm shift in remote sensing applications, from automated monitoring of wildlife and nature reserves to the development of low-cost, scalable analytical tools to help stakeholders improve agriculture and water management, especially with regard to strategic crops such as dates and wheat.
