Announcements

FABRIC, a unique resource in the NSF cyberinfrastructure ecosystem, is now part of ACCESS Resource. FABRIC is an internationally distributed set of equipment at commercial colocation spaces, labs and campuses. Its mission is to “explore impactful new ideas that are impossible or impractical with the current internet,” and its infrastructure enables cutting-edge experimentation and research at scale. Each node offers significant compute and storage, and all are interconnected by high-speed, dedicated optical links. 

The Sage Edge Computing Platform is no ordinary CPU, GPU or storage resource, but a unique platform, a “new kind of national-scale cyberinfrastructure to enable AI at the edge for science.” The ACCESS community can learn more about Sage in the ACCESS Resource Catalog under “Northwestern U Sage Edge Computing Platform.” Sage is a distributed, intelligent sensor network that enables researchers to explore AI techniques to better understand natural and built environments. Throughout vast areas that span the U.S.

The National Artificial Intelligence Research Resource (NAIRR) Pilot User Experience Working Group is seeking input in an upcoming workshop on artificial intelligence with travel support available to attendees.

Join ACCESS Support and members of the SCIPE/CIP teams for an introduction to AI and fun "Mini-Hack" with prizes and a 3k travel grant award. This event caters to the conceptual level (true beginner with little knowledge/experience) up to the more expert level. Students are welcome and encouraged to join us.

The NSF is requesting information about potential AI research and education use cases for infrastructure shared through the National Artificial Intelligence Research Resource (NAIRR).

The AI and Big Data team at the Pittsburgh Supercomputing Center is pleased to announce that the Neocortex Spring 2023 Call for Proposals is now open. Proposals are welcomed for access to Neocortex, an innovative and exciting NSF-funded AI supercomputer.

Update 1

SDSC is seeking a small number of researchers interested in exploring the NSF-funded AI supercomputer, Voyager, which is currently in the testbed phase at the San Diego Supercomputer Center. Voyager is based on Intel’s Habana Lab AI processors and provides a unique opportunity to use AI focused hardware for exploring AI in science and engineering.
