Looking to the STARS with the Jestons

Meet the Jetsons

Students building Jetsons Cluster
Students building Jetsons Cluster

This summer, our students working with the Research and Data Science Team designed and built a cluster supercomputer. The cluster is composed of 16 NVIDIA® Jetson Nano™ Developer Kits, which are small, powerful computers that fit in the palm of their hand. The cluster can be used for projects ranging from training and running AI/ML models for image classification, object detection, segmentation, and speech processing applications to running molecular dynamics simulations of drug-protein interactions.

Conner Ozenne, a junior Computer Science major and one of the students working on the project commented, Continue reading Looking to the STARS with the Jestons

Get an Introduction to ManeFrame II 

HPCDid you know that ManeFrame II (M2) is available to faculty, staff, and students of SMU? If you haven’t used M2 before, the summer is a great time to learn how to take advantage of high-performance computing in your studies or academics.  In January, Rob Kalescky and Eric Godat recorded an excellent session for the Instructional Technology Workshops on “Using ManeFrame II for Research and Teaching.”

Watch the video below and find out more about using the SMU’s ManeFrame II. Continue reading Get an Introduction to ManeFrame II
