Already answered below, but the bulk of the market for H100’s appears to be AI. HPC was historically the largest market for this class of accelerator, but it appears to have shifted to hyper scale cloud computing centers.

HPC’s are used to distribute the computation of differential equations using numerical methods and AI appears to be making inroads here as well. I would be interested in others’ opinion on whether it’s a settled question on whether or not AI will be able to produce equivalent solutions.

It's an iterative thing! Neural Network based surrogate models are becoming popular, but you need the compute to solve the PDEs to train the AI and compute the loss in the first place ;)
