The National Center for Supercomputing Applications at the University of Illinois just fired up its Delta system back in April 2022, and now it has just been given $10 million by the National Science Foundation to expand that machine with an AI partition, called DeltaAI appropriately enough, that is based on Nvidia’s “Hopper” H100 GPU accelerators. …
When it comes to supercomputing in academia, the cost of a cluster is almost always an issue and this, coupled with the desire to drive as much compute as possible, drives architectural choices. …
On today’s episode of “The Interview” with The Next Platform we talk about the use of petascale supercomputers for training deep learning algorithms. …
After years of planning and delays after a massive architectural change, the Blue Waters supercomputer at the National Center for Supercomputing Applications at the University of Illinois finally went into production in 2013, giving scientists, engineers and researchers across the country a powerful tool to run and solve the most complex and challenging applications in a broad range of scientific areas, from astrophysics and neuroscience to biophysics and molecular research. …
There has been a great deal of investment and research into making HPC speak Hadoop over the last couple of years. …
