Swansea University has signed a contract with Atos for the deployment of its BellSequana X410 supercomputer to support research on advanced machine learning and deep learning algorithms.
The company said the supercomputer is based on the NVDIA A100 Tensor Core GPU (graphics processing unit) architecture, along with NVDIA Mellanox HDR 2300Gbps InfinBand networking, and that this will be the largest deployment of its type in Wales.
The contract is part of the AccelerateAI initiative, funded by the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) through the Welsh Government, and forms part of Atos’s existing relationship with Supercomputing Wales, a centre of excellence that it supports with Dell and which also receives money from the ERDF.
