Rather than operating as a standalone lab device, Superion 256 will function as a dedicated coprocessor integrated with NVIDIA GPU clusters: quantum workloads will be routed to Superion 256 via NVIDIA's CUDA‑Q while NVIDIA GB200 GPUs handle large-scale classical compute and AI tasks, a direct instance of hybrid quantum‑classical supercomputing integration.
