Webinar: Neocortex Summer 2022 Call for Proposals and System Overview
Presented on Wednesday, June 1, 2022, 3:00 – 4:00 pm (ET), by Paola A. Buitrago: Principal Investigator & Neocortex Project Director, and AI and Big Data Director at the Pittsburgh Supercomputing Center; Dr. Natalia Vassilieva, Director of Product, Machine Learning at Cerebras Systems Inc.
This webinar presents the Summer 2022 Call for Proposals and gives a system overview of Neocortex, an AI specialized NSF-funded supercomputer deployed at PSC/CMU.
Neocortex, which captures groundbreaking new hardware technologies and now features two Cerebras CS-2 systems, is designed to accelerate AI research in pursuit of science, discovery, and societal good. Join us to learn more about this exciting new system and how to be part of the next group of users.
Neocortex has been deployed at the PSC early 2021 and currently supports research in drug discovery, genomics, molecular dynamics, climate research, computational fluid dynamics, signal processing and medical imaging analysis.
