DeltaAI

Funded by the National Science Foundation, DeltaAI has been designed to maximize the output of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning (AI/ML) research. Using state-of-the-art hardware, DeltaAI enables scientists and researchers to address the world’s most challenging problems by accelerating complex AI/ML and high-performance computing applications running terabytes of data.

DeltaAI racks at NPCF. The cabinets are metal mesh and inside are various supercomputer components

Primary use cases:

  • Scalable accelerated computing from one GPU to hundreds of GPUs
  • Problems requiring large memory GPUs (96GB per GPU)
  • AI/ML workloads
  • Scalable GPU accelerated simulation applications

Technical Specifications:

  • 608 GH200 NVIDIA Superchips including H100 (96GB) GPUs
  • 200 Gb/s HPE SlingShot network fabric, with one network card per GPU.
  • Two Lustre file systems (based on HDD and NVME, respectively) shared with Delta to support both block and small file IO.
  • Access to project space on the “Taiga” Lustre-based center-wide project file system
  • Home directories provisioned on the “Harbor” VAST-based center-wide home directory system
  • More information about DeltaAI hardware and network is available here.
