Artificial intelligence is rapidly emerging as a transformative technology that will affect science, engineering, industry, public administration, and many other sectors of society. At HLRS, we offer a powerful computing infrastructure and technical expertise that make it possible to explore the possibilities that artificial intelligence now offers. Our supercomputing capabilities support applications using generative AI, deep learning, large language models, and foundation models. Scientists in our Department of Converged Computing are also improving methods for integrating AI, simulation, cloud computing, and other advanced computing technologies in efficient workflows.
Beginning in early 2025, this next-generation, APU-accelerated supercomputer will offer increased performance for AI and hybrid computing.
Hawk supports large-scale data analytics and new kinds of hybrid workflows combining high-performance computing and artificial intelligence.
This partition of HLRS's Vulcan cluster is ideal for smaller-scale AI applications; for example, for SME's that require only a single, mid-range GPU per node.
Integrated into our Vulcan cluster, this system is dedicated to research related to the COVID-19 pandemic and other needs for crisis computing.
HLRS provides computing infrastructure and expertise in AI for scientists, industrial researchers, and organizations of other kinds interested in testing new applications of AI technologies. Click for examples of how our systems are used.
In addition to providing access to high-performance computing systems, HLRS staff has expertise in supporting methods and concepts that are driving the AI field forward.
The future of high-performance computing lies in hybrid approaches that integrate AI with HPC, cloud, and edge computing technologies.
Incorporating physical constraints in machine learning methods can improve model accuracy and utility.
Our systems make it possible to train large language models like ChatGPT, and to use such models in generative AI applications.
We enable adaptation of models based on large, diverse datasets to develop customized solutions to specific problems.
Are you interested in improving your knowledge about programming artificial intelligence applications on high-performance computing systems? HLRS regularly offers courses in machine learning, deep learning, and related topics that can help you turn your ideas into AI solutions.
