College Station, Texas (KBTX) – Monday, Texas A&M University System announced that it would house what should be “one of the most efficient AI supervisors at any North American university”.
The supercomputer is an NVIDIA DGX superpod with DGX H200 systems which, depending on the system, will triple its supercalculculic capacity here in the Brazos valley. This would be part of an 45 million dollars agreement with World Wide Technologies Inc., a partner of the Nvidia channel.
According to the information director of Texas A&M University System, Mark Stone, this gives them a chance to conduct cutting -edge research in various fields.
“This type of GPU, Cluster will allow us to do medical imaging, discovery of drugs, genomic research, the creation of new materials, it is the type of progress that is only possible with this type GPU cluster, “said Stone.
Equipment upgrades and installation costs will also be carried out at the West Campus Data Center on the Texas A&M University campus. The system said that once it was operational, it should be one of the most efficient academic supervisors on the TOP500 list.
“This will now allow us to attract and make this destination for students, teachers and researchers to develop these cutting -edge AI skills and to be able to conduct this advanced research,” said Stone.
This is another step in a long line of projects and investments where Texas A&M opens the way in technology. A partnership at Relis with four nuclear companies promises to bring new power to our electricity network.
“The test field will allow companies to reduce the barriers of entries, we will help them, we will provide common infrastructure, we will work with the State to help implement certain incentives in this area and develop the production of Nuclear energy as it is and for the nation, “said David Staack, vice-chancellor for the search for David Stack, Texas A & M University System.
Another project that takes place on the Relis campus is the hypersonic blower, which will see $ 10 million, because the system works to stimulate the search for national defense and aerodynamics.
“This is a very important area for a competitive type of work with other nations in terms of defense,” said Stack. “There are companies in Texas that seek to go from the United States to Japan in a few hours and provide a place where this type of research can occur, take our expertise, align our student, our research teachers and research teachers and research teachers and research teachers and research teachers to bring together companies. It is really important that the infrastructure is in place. »»
But the system looks beyond the sky to the stars with a faculty of $ 200 million in the Johnson Space Center which is expected to open next year.
“Just on the type of gateway to the edge of NASA Johnson with the construction of facilities to test things that will be deployed in space, deployed on the Moon, things that will be deployed on Mars,” said Stack.
All of this must be at the forefront of technology.
“When you compete, you perform faster and that is the goal here, how can we accelerate so much of these technologies, how can we help use our resources, help our students are ready to enter this future and To make these partnerships for the success of the State and Nation, ”said Stack.
