EPCC adds Graphcore Pod64 system to its AI portfolio.
30 May 2022
• The system will feature the new Graphcore Bow IPU.
• The Bow Pod64 system delivers up to 22.4 Petaflops of AI compute for both training and inference.
EPCC, the supercomputing centre at the University of Edinburgh, is perhaps best known for being home to the UK’s most powerful supercomputer, ARCHER2.
Sitting alongside it, very soon, will be our first Graphcore IPU Pod.
These two quite different machines perfectly illustrate the centre’s mission: to accelerate the effective exploitation of novel computing throughout industry, academia and commerce.
In Graphcore’s Intelligence Processing Unit, we recognised a tool that will be of huge interest to our many partners, allowing them and the EPCC team to explore innovative applications of AI within their scientific and business challenges.
