ANL (Argonne National Labs) work with UW to offer computational resources to UW researchers through the Argonne Leadership Computing Facility’s Lighthouse Initiative.
Resource List
The Lighthouse Initiative supports applications running on the following ALCF Systems:
Polaris: a 560 node HPE Apollo 6500 Gen 10+ based supercomputer for parallel computing tasks.
Graphcore: An IPU processor architecture designed for AI workloads.
Sambanova: Designed for efficiency, scaling and performance.
Groq: AI Testbed for AI acceleration with high speed chip-to-chip connections.
Cerebras: HPC resource designed to handle training of LLMs.
ANL’s Argonne Leadership Computing Facility (ALCF)
The Argonne Leadership Computing Facility is a U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Science User Facility providing supercomputing resources and expertise to the research community.
Requesting Resources
