Would your research program benefit from access to scalable AI resources at no cost, early access future hardware and software technologies, and complementary human expertise? To address such opportunities, PSC offers powerful resources for artificial intelligence, machine learning, general-purpose computing, and data management, together with AI, HPC, and domain expertise for collaboration and support.

PSC’s Bridges, the first system to converge AI, high-performance computing (HPC), and Big Data, is available at no charge for open research and coursework. Bridges offers a familiar, an exceptionally flexible user environment, applicable to whatever data analytics or simulation exceed groups’ local capabilities. We will survey examples of breakthroughs that are using Bridges and ways to leverage PSC for your own research. Examples will highlight a history-making AI developed at CMU and other groundbreaking advances that were made possible by converged AI+HPC and high-performance data analytics.

We will also describe Compass AI, a new initiative to help the community make the most of emerging hardware and software technologies for AI, develop best practices, provide education and training, and establish collaborations, especially between academia and the private sector.

We close with a summary of opportunities to co-locate computational resources at PSC, with possible benefits of saving money, bursting to larger resources when needed, and leveraging PSC’s broad software collection.
