- The University of Nebraska has been issued a nearly $700,000 grant by the National Science Foundation to deploy PLUMAGE, a new GPU-based cyberinfrastructure system called Promoting Learning Using Mixed Advanced GPU Environments, at the Holland Computing Center.
- PLUMAGE is expected to enhance the university’s research capabilities across various disciplines, from computer science to social sciences, due to its cutting-edge GPUs that can efficiently handle AI and data-intensive models.
- This deployment signifies a growing trend of supercomputing usage in diverse fields beyond traditional areas like physics and engineering, highlighting the increased demand for computational power in AI research.
- Researchers at the University of Nebraska and collaborators outside the system can access PLUMAGE at no cost, with training, support, and tailored assistance provided through the Holland Computing Center.
- PLUMAGE features advanced NVIDIA GPUs and provides flexible access to different AI and HPC systems, bridging local cluster resources and US-wide cyberinfrastructure networks.
