NCSA Launches DeltaAI Advanced Computing System
The National Center for Supercomputing Applications (NCSA) has launched DeltaAI, a new advanced AI computing and data resource.
The DeltaAI system will triple NCSA’s AI computing capacity and greatly expand the capacity available within the NSF-funded ACCESS program, the announcement says.
As a companion system to NCSA’s existing Delta system, DeltaAI “will enable scientists and researchers to address the world’s most challenging problems by accelerating complex AI, machine learning and high-performance computing applications running terabytes of data by using state-of-the-art hardware, including the Nvidia GH200 Grace Hopper Superchip.”
The new system is also scalable and suitable for GPU-accelerated HPC workloads. “DeltaAI is, of course, AI – it’s right there in the name – but it’s also a good HPC platform,” NCSA Director Bill Gropp says. “We expect there to be significant HPC use with this system.”
