How to get access to World Largest AI super Computer to do Advanced AI research
- 1. About Summit? • Summit (AI supercomputer) is a supercomputer developed by IBM for use at Oak Ridge National Laboratory, which as of November, 2018 is the fastest supercomputer in the world, capable of 200 petaflops. • Dedicated to open science, Summit will drive scientific study and discovery as one of the world’s most powerful computers by enabling five to 10 times the computational performance of its predecessor, Titan.

- 4. A Building block to get access to SUMMIT • Researchers can get access to SUMMIT .. • Researchers may get access to nimbix.net to develop an initial AI/HPC Application • Researchers may procure a Mini Summit super computer( 3 to 6 nodes clusters) and develop an application • For Scaling their applications to larger set of nodes/GPUs, they can make a request to Oak Ridge for SUMMIT’s access. Do u want to get onto this fastest super computer and also run your AI/HPC workloads across thousands of Power Processor as well as GPUs ? This page explains the difference between the various allocation programs and the criteria for each: INCITE, ALCC and Director’s Discretionary (DD).
