A team of researchers at Purdue University has brought the new supercomputer into full working order. Dozens of universities are waiting to use Anivl, and as Purdue researchers note, it will significantly reduce the speed of research.
New releaseAccording toPurdue University's supercomputer, Anvil, was built with a philippines cell phone database $22 million grant from the National Science Foundation and is the most powerful computing machine in the university's history, with a wide range of technical capabilities. Anvil's power is already being used by more than 20 other universities, including Purdue University's microcomputers.
"Anvil's components are integrated into a single space with GPUs and memory nodes, creating a cluster of 1,000 compute nodes. It can handle very large workloads and is ideally suited to most of the research being conducted at Purdue," says Carol Song, principal investigator for the Anvil project.
Song notes that the first test version of the supercomputer was launched in November 2021, before Purdue researchers met with the National Science Foundation. Through them, work began on a commercial version of the supercomputer in February 2022.
The Anvil supercomputer is now available to everyone across the country and can be used by both universities and private companies.
"We have created a supercomputer with exceptional computing capabilities. It has a huge memory storage, which is necessary for fast processing of large-scale research. In addition, we have a large network of GPUs, which are used in analytics, machine learning and artificial intelligence development. All this diversifies the capabilities of Anvil." — tells us Carol Song.
