In the Novosibirsk State University, the first computing cluster of the supercomputer center (SKC) "Lavrentiev" is preparing to launch by the summer of 2024. The cluster's power will exceed 200 teraflops (trillions of floating-point operations per second).
The cluster will allow NSU scientists to work with large language models and AI, as well as solve research and applied problems, including those for companies in the real sector.
The equipment available at the university only allows working with simple language models, which are 2-3 levels below Chat GPT. The new machine will allow us to work with larger language models and train them quickly. This way, we will be able to work with the most modern projects.
Such large language models can be applied in several areas, in particular:
- for the Internet of Things and "smart city" technologies;
- for creating and transferring AI models to applications for specific tasks on smartphones, video cameras, and other portable devices. For example, for chatbots, voice assistants, video analytics;
- in robotics — for creating multimodal models, when using which the robot will "hear", "see", and analyze the received information for optimal task execution.
SKC "Lavrentiev"
A supercomputer center with a maximum computing power of 10 petaflops (quadrillions of floating-point operations per second). It is planned to be launched in 2026 on the basis of the NSU campus, which is only being built under the national project "Science and Universities".
SKC "Lavrentiev" is focused on solving problems related to artificial intelligence. It will be able to perform many parallel calculations that are done on specific types of accelerators.
The center will be available to all specialists who need processing of large scientific data. In addition, on the basis of SKC "Lavrentiev", it will be possible to solve problems using big data (another accepted name for them — big data, — editor's note.) in the field of security, office management, industrial production, agriculture, and mining.
Earlier, "Первый технический" wrote about preparations for the launch of the first contract manufacturing of superconducting quantum processors for supercomputers in Russia.
