Partc files its third lawsuit against NVIDIA in Munich to block the sale of DGX supercomputers in 18 European countries
The struggle between the German Partc Ag and Nvidia He has climbed a step. The supercomputing specialist has presented at the Munich headquarters of the Unified Court of Patents Its third lawsuit against the American giant. The Dardo points to the DGX familysupercomputers that support a good part of AI infrastructure and today work in areas as disparate as health, automotive or finance.
In the center of the conflict is the Dynamic Modular System Architecture (DMSA)a patented technology by the process that allows processors of different types (CPU and GPU) to distribute and coordinate the workload dynamically, even while the operations are still ongoing. It is a system Designed to make the most of the heterogeneous architectures used by modern supercomputerwhere the processing rate and the ability to work with huge volumes of real -time data make a difference.
A collaboration that was twisted
DMSA technology is not new or experimental: It is already working in some of the most powerful supercomputers in Europe and is considered key to next -generation AI systems. In 2019, Partc and NVIDIA came to exchange technical information. The Germans shared details of their Parastation software and how they applied the DMSA, with the idea of exploring possible joint developments.
The manufacture of common GPU never materialized, but there were projects where NVIDIA supplied its graphics for European systems. That relationship began to cool when Partc opened legal fronts to defend its patentsincluding a media case against Microsoft in Texas. Since then, negotiations with Nvidia have stopped completely.
What is part of this demand
In this new judicial offensive, Partc Ask Nvidia to stop selling in the 18 European countries where all the DGX products involved has registered the patent. It also requests access to sales data and financial compensation for damages. According to the German firm, the infraction has a significant financial impact.
This is not just a commercial pulse: it also reflects a background problem. Europe continues to depend largely on American giants such as NVIDIA or Microsoft for their AI infrastructure, while European companies such as part of protect their intellectual property and reinforce their weight in a sector that grows at high speed.
What is at stake
From the technical point of view, The DMSA is a remarkable improvement in the way of distributing workloads between different processor architectures. It is a key factor for AI models training to be more efficient and scalable.
If Partc wins, Nvidia could be forced to redesign part of its systems for the European market or negotiate use licenses. Any of the two options would have direct implications in the competition within the sector.
A strategic background for Europe
Bernhard FrohwitterExecutive Director of Partc, has made it clear: it is not just patents or income. For him, the question is whether Europe can maintain its decision -making capacity in critical areas such as artificial intelligence and quantum computing, or if it will continue to depend on the hardware and the technologies that come from outside.
Partc does not go through the most loking financial moment, but continues developing modular systems and participating in advanced supercomputing projects. Defending the DMSA could not only assure you new sources of income, but also to promote its adoption in future European high performance systems.
The result of this case will not go unnoticed. Hardware manufacturers, AI developers and cloud suppliers follow it closely because it could sit a precedent with impact on innovation, alliances and competition in the IA supercomputing for the coming years.
The judicial process will be long, but if Partc achieves a victory, the European technological map could change … and Nvidia would have to rethink how it sells and implements its most advanced systems in the continent.
