The University of Georgia is enhancing its AI research capabilities with a $2.4 million upgrade to its High-Performance Computing cluster. This summer, the Georgia Advanced Computing Resource Center will add 26 new Graphical Processing Unit compute nodes and three high-RAM nodes to the Sapelo2 cluster. These additions, which include 12 quad-H100, 2 quad-A100, and 12 quad-L4 NVIDIA GPUs, are designed to significantly accelerate AI research and data processing.
The new equipment, set to be operational by Fall 2024, will support diverse research needs across AI, data science, and bioinformatics. “This investment will speed up AI model refinement and foster collaborative projects,” said Guy Cormier, EITS research computing director. UGA’s Vice President Tim Chester and Provost S. Jack Hu played key roles in securing the funding.
