Israel's first AI supercomputer, worth a billion shekels, begins operation

SDS (Shonfeld Data Services) will launch a new supercomputer in September, which will be the most powerful in Israel and one of the most powerful in the world. Investments in the SDS-AI project amounted to one billion shekels.

The SDS-AI system is based on the latest NVIDIA Blackwell B200 processors, which fundamentally distinguishes it from the existing Israeli supercomputer Israel-1, which uses the previous generation of Hopper H100 processors. SDS-AI includes 2,032 new-generation processors. Thanks to its higher processing speed and significantly larger number of processors, SDS-AI is expected to be 6.5-6.8 times more powerful than Israel-1, according to Calcalist.

The main difference between the new supercomputer is that it is open to a wide range of users. While Israel-1 was primarily intended for NVIDIA's internal needs and select partners, SDS-AI was created for the entire Israeli ecosystem. The supercomputer will be available to Israeli startups and academic researchers, giving entrepreneurs and scientists the opportunity to use high-level computing resources within the country for the first time.

Until now, Israeli companies and scientists working on AI projects have relied on foreign supercomputers, often facing difficulties in obtaining sufficient computing time. The launch of SDS-AI should provide better access to cutting-edge artificial intelligence infrastructure, strengthen innovation, and help bring back Israeli researchers working abroad. The company is already planning to expand the system with thousands of additional processors in 2026.

Indices FAQ

A stock index is a performance indicator or measure of a country's economy or of an industry sector. For example, Nasdaq 100 represents the largest 100 companies traded on the Nasdaq Stock Exchange. If, on average, the share price of these companies goes up, then the index will rise. Conversely, if they fall, the index will drop.

Most main indices are based on a basket of shares and are thus considered good measures of the current market sentiment. When you take a position on an index, you are effectively investing in the performance of these shares and thus avoid factors that influence the performance of individual companies (such as a lack of market volume).

Stock market indices have different forms of calculation. These are the two most common:

  • Adjusted market capitalisation (or cap-weighted) is used to track a number of companies based on the adjusted market capitalisation of the constituent stocks. Large-cap companies have a greater impact on the index’s price than small-cap companies. S&P 500is an example of an index that is calculated this way.
  • Price-weighted average – adds up the stock prices of all constituents, and then divides that figure by the total number of stocks in the index. Dow Jonesis an example of an index that is calculated this way.

By trading index futures contracts with leverage, you can multiply the value of a trade through the use of borrowed capital, and as such, you can increase the potential profit or loss to be realised from the trade. The available leverage for index CFDs on the AiStrategy platform is up to 1:20.

Here are a few highlights of trading Index CFDs:

  • You can gain diversified exposure using a single instrument – as most factors that affect individual companies are taken out of the equation.
