Georgia Tech’s Nexus AI supercomputer can now be accessed by all US scientists

The computing prowess of Nexus, the newest AI supercomputer installed at the Coda Data Center in Atlanta, is now available to researchers across the US after Georgia Tech has opened nationwide access to this resource. The cloud-based services at Nexus will allow researchers to access immense computing power from anywhere in the country. 

Computers can help scientists carry out a large number of calculations. However, when the problems are too big to solve, a computer can take a very long time to complete the computations. A supercomputer, on the other hand, has a large number of computing resources at its disposal and can split a problem into several parts and allocate them to different resources to work on them simultaneously and arrive at solutions faster. 

This proves to be extremely useful when solving a problem such as hurricane modeling. Instead of arriving at a complete model using a single processor, a supercomputer can divide the problem into small three-dimensional boxes and assign activity within them to each processor. Each processor simulates only for information within the box assigned to them and then shares this information with its neighboring processors to create a larger picture of the hurricane. 

Nexus was built with a $20 million investment from the National Science Foundation (NSF) and in a partnership with The University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. While much of the hype in computing is around Artificial Intelligence (AI) and data centers, Nexus’ availability opens up a new approach where researchers can blend AI and supercomputing together.
