Neocortex 2024 Fall Workshop: Accelerating Scientific Discovery with PSC’s Neocortex

Neocortex Fall 2024 Workshop

This comprehensive 3-hour virtual workshop described the Neocortex project and detailed the technologies featured in the system, the type of applications supported (AI and non-AI), project highlights, demo sessions, and how to gain access.

The Neocortex project provides a unique opportunity to access the remarkable integrated technologies of the Cerebras CS-2 and the HPE Superdome Flex servers available in PSC’s Neocortex system.This workshop will be recorded and segmented by topic, making it a valuable resource for researchers interested in harnessing the power of AI for scientific discovery. The recording of the workshop and slides will be made available to registered attendees.
