GPU Support

GPU (Graphics Processing Unit) are accelerators that can be efficiently utilized in HPC to speed-up calculations that deal with lots of data. GPUs have successfully been used to speed-up applications such as machine learning, weather forecasting, molecular dynamics, among many other applications.

At NRIS we have a dedicated team to support researchers in utilizing the different accelerators at your disposal. You can contact the team through the normal support channel.

Example of activities that NRIS supports:

• Helping to use Slurm and GPUs

• Ensure software is set up for GPUs

• Advice about how to get starting using GPUs

• Transition to using GPUs

• Optimizing existing GPU implementations

  • With a focus on software developed at the universities in Norway

• Training

  • Both from NRIS and in collaboration with vendors

• Documentation and tutorials.
