Spring Data Science Workshops Are Open to All

OIT's Data Science iconThe Spring 2024 O’Donnell Data Science and Research Computing Institute (ODSRCI) and OIT Research and Data Science Services (RDSS) workshop series provides a hands-on experience that will guide those of the SMU campus community in the basics of using SMU’s supercomputing resources to take advantage of AI workflows, learn the fundamentals of deep learning, start programming in Python, and more. The topics cover information useful for users to quickly begin to use the advanced compute capabilities provided by SMU’s High-Performance Computing (HPC) clusters, the NVIDIA DGX SuperPOD and M3.

Those interested need to register for the workshops in advance via Continue reading Spring Data Science Workshops Are Open to All

Advancing Academic Excellence: SMU’s M3 Empowers Researchers with Enhanced Capabilities

High-Performance Computing (HPC) logoAs recently announced, SMU is taking its High-Performance Computing (HPC) to new heights with the introduction of M3 last month. As part of this exciting development, we seamlessly transitioned all users from M2 to M3. Now that migrations have been completed, all jobs will now be hosted on M3.

M3 Takes SMU High-Performance Computing to Next Level

M3 logoOver the past decade, SMU has pushed forward in high-performance computing (HPC), first with ManeFrame, then ManeFrame II, the NVIDIA DGX SuperPOD Advantage, and now M3. With M3 coming online this month, with its state-of-the-art CPUs, networking technologies, high memory capacity per node, and advanced interactive experiences, it has doubled the number of CPU Cores in the Data Center available for optimized high-level programming environments such as MATLAB, Python, and R. Another improvement is the unified Work storage system which allows researchers to more seamlessly transfer data between the SuperPod and M3!

SMU SuperPod Gets Visit from Oregon State University

OIT SuperPOD and AI ServicesOn Wednesday, March 22, 2023, a team from Oregon State University visited SMU to learn more about our high-performance computing environment, the NVIDIA DGX SuperPOD, and research support services. Oregon State recently announced the launch of a $200 million research and education center. Since their facility will not open its doors until 2025, they wanted to talk to other universities about setting up successful research services, a NVIDIA DGX SuperPOD, and support staff. SMU’s expertise will help OSU meet its timeline to establish its new world-class center with a focus on Artificial Intelligence. Continue reading SMU SuperPod Gets Visit from Oregon State University
