STFC HARTREE CENTRE NEWS! "STFC Hartree Centre signs agreement with Lenovo for new supercomputer. A powerful new supercomputer will help UK industry to harness the potential of artificial intelligence (AI). The Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC) has signed an agreement with Lenovo for the installation of a new state-of-the-art supercomputer for the STFC Hartree Centre. Ten times more powerful than its predecessor, but using less electricity thanks to Lenovo’s direct water cooling, the new supercomputer will power AI research for UK industry. The new supercomputer is part of the Hartree Centre’s £210 million Hartree National Centre for Digital Innovation (HNCDI) programme, which provides UK industry access to state-of-the-art digital technologies and expertise. The supercomputer is complementary to investments in the wider AI Research Resource. It will support the Hartree National Centre for Digital Innovation (HNCDI) programme's rapidly expanding supercomputing and AI activities, and will be installed later this year at its new £30 million supercomputing centre, currently under construction."

Last month saw an incredible amount invested into the UK tech industry, with one week alone seeing over £2bn invested! 💷 Businesses from around the world have been drawn to the UK, which has cemented itself as a leading tech hub for artificial intelligence. 🤖 ◼️Investments included a massive £1bn investment by AI firm CoreWeave, who also announced their new European Headquarters will be based in London. ◼️Siemens Healthineers also announced plans for a £250m investment to construct a new facility in North Oxfordshire that will create superconducting magnets which will be used globally in healthcare facilities for MRI scans. ◼️Wayve announced they have secured over $1.05bn (£820m) to develop the "next generation of AI-powered self-driving vehicles in the UK". Chancellor of the Exchequer Jeremy Hunt reported that the UK accounted for around half of all AI private capital investment in Europe. Currently, the AI sector contributes more than £3.7b to the economy every year but this is forecast to grow to over £783bn by 2035.

UK Government Invests £300M in AI Supercomputers for Advanced Research Britain boosts investment in AI supercomputers, aiming for a safer, faster, and more powerful AI research infrastructure by 2024. Key Highlights: ► The UK government has increased funding for two AI supercomputers to £300 million. ► The Isambard-AI supercomputer, being built in Bristol, will cost £225 million and use Nvidia's GH200 Grace Hopper Superchip units. ► Isambard-AI is expected to deliver 200 FP64 PetaFLOPS, ranking it as the fifth most powerful globally. ► The AI supercomputers will support research in making AI models safer and are part of the AI Research Resource initiative. ► These investments are set to advance UK capabilities in drug discovery, healthcare, fusion energy, and climate modeling, aiming for operation by summer 2024. 🔗 https://lnkd.in/gXzcR8GD #AIKnowledge #AIforBusiness #AILeadership #sushtend #AI #GenerativeAI #DigitalTransformation

Quantum Connect in Der Standard ⚛ 🗞️ "So far, there has been little attention and exchange in the field of quantum machine learning. We want to raise awareness of the topic and offer a low-threshold entry point that appeals to everyone from students to AI experts in industry," said Jona Boeddinghaus, COO of Gradient Zero, the lead partner behind Quantum Connect. Quantum Connect will serve as an association and platform to connect organizations in the quantum space, promote knowledge exchange and access to experts and resources, and drive the adoption of quantum technologies in Austria.

Innovative techniques are emerging to reduce the energy consumption of #AI models. The MIT Lincoln Laboratory Supercomputing Center (LLSC) has developed methods that include power-capping GPUs, potentially reducing energy use by up to 15%, and software that integrates with the Slurm scheduler system for wider application. Furthermore, they have devised a model for the early termination of AI training, which can lead to an 80% 𝐫𝐞𝐝𝐮𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐢𝐧 𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐠𝐲 𝐮𝐬𝐚𝐠𝐞. The LLSC's initiatives also focus on optimizing hardware for energy-efficient AI model inference, with the potential to save 10-20% in energy. These efforts contribute to a broader movement towards green computing and aim to promote transparency and sustainability within the AI industry.

🖥 Supercomputers are at the centre of global competition. They are critical for innovation and are being used as tools for economic development. 💽 Supercomputers have become critical in the modern economy. They are used for everything from climate modelling to drug discovery, finance, product development and special effects in movies. I had the pleasure of looking into these fascinating developments with the indomitable Linnea Ahlgren. 💡 The need for faster and more efficient high-performance computing infrastructure has grown with the race to develop artificial intelligence (AI). "AI is now a ubiquitous consumer application. It is a gross domestic product and productivity multiplier for the entire workforce. And you need supercomputers to run it,” says James Wang of Cerebras Systems. 🌍 Governments and companies around the world, including in Europe, the US, China, Japan and the UAE, are increasingly investing into new HPC infrastructure to keep up with this rapid development and stay competitive against rivals. From Oak Ridge National Laboratory in the US to LUMI supercomputer in Finland and Fugaku in Japan, supercomputers are being used as tools to enable innovation and boost regional economic development. 👉 Find out more about the fascinating world of supercomputers at fDi Intelligence: https://lnkd.in/ezmQ6umY #supercomputers #technology #competition #frontier #lumi #fugaku #fdi #econdev #simulation #ai #research #commercialisation

Exciting news coming out of University of Bristol as it announces that the UK’s most powerful and sustainable supercomputer, #Isambard-AI, is now up and running! The UK government’s Minister for AI, Viscount Camrose, has said the launch of Isambard AI marks a “groundbreaking moment for UK science, innovation, and technology”. The new high performance infrastructure will enable UK scientists to access eight supercomputers across Europe accelerating automated drug discovery and climate research. “The UK has waited with much anticipation for the arrival of Isambard-AI and this is another important milestone in our mission to lead in HPC, AI and digital infrastructure sectors. As the leader in data centres engineered for AI, and with a strong heritage of supporting groundbreaking supercomputing deployments, we’re delighted to see it is now operational and look forward to seeing it realise its full research potential.” Says Spencer Lamb, our CCO.
