Brief description Whopping Volta GPU Cluster – Transforming Artificial Intelligence Research. Artificial intelligence (AI), as it continues to grow and evolve, is taking an increasingly leading role in strategic plans of the world’s leading economies, IT companies, and universities, with the promise to be a key driver in innovation, science, education, and society. This project will establish a whopping Volta graphical processing unit Cluster (wVGC) with the aim of smashing current impediments to compute-intensive AI research. The wVGC features a contemporary HPC system equipped with 120 most advanced NVIDIA Volta GPUs distributed in 30 high capable nodes. The wVGC will transform AI research in Australia, putting us on the same footing as leading research groups around the globe, and at the forefront of the world’s AI revolution.
