NVIDIA unveils Omniverse DSX blueprint for gigawatt AI factories

NVIDIA announced the Omniverse DSX blueprint at GTC Washington, D.C., validating it at the AI Factory Research Center on Digital Realty’s Manassas, Virginia site.

• Main announcement: NVIDIA introduced Omniverse DSX, an open blueprint and digital-twin operating model for designing and operating gigawatt-scale AI factories, validated in a real-world deployment at Digital Realty’s Manassas, Virginia AI Factory Research Center; partners include Jacobs, Bechtel, Vertiv, Siemens, Schneider Electric, Trane Technologies, PTC, Cadence, Phaidra, Emerald AI, Eaton, GE Vernova, Hitachi, Siemens Energy, and Switch.
• Details & implementation: DSX uses OpenUSD and SimReady assets aggregated into PTC’s PLM and integrates Omniverse libraries and NVIDIA CUDA/Cadence Reality Digital Twin for simulation; it supports scaling from 100 megawatts to multi-gigawatts, targets tapping ~100 gigawatts of underutilized grid capacity, and claims up to 30% higher GPU throughput using Max-Q power-optimization. The Manassas build-out is captured as a scalable, repeatable recipe for modular prefabricated delivery by partners (no explicit timeline given).
