Novosibirsk State University has launched the first segment of the computing cluster of the Lavrentiev Supercomputer Center. This part of the SCC "Lavrentiev" has a computing capacity of 360 teraflops (trillions of floating-point operations per second) and surpasses all similar servers beyond the Urals. The segment is designed to work with large language models and generative artificial intelligence.
The first stage of the SCC "Lavrentiev" will be useful for testing the application of large language models for real-world devices: industrial artificial intelligence, transport, unmanned aerial systems, and other areas. For example, the computing power of the segment will help develop transport detectors and detectors of non-standard behavior for schools commissioned by Rostelecom as part of a partnership with the Research Center for Artificial Intelligence of NSU.
This server is equipped with graphics accelerators that allow for many parallel calculations, and it has the necessary amount of graphic video memory so that we can use modern large language models like ChatGPT and GigaChat, fine-tune and customize them to solve specific tasks. The term "non-standard behavior" is quite difficult to formulate algorithmically. The task of recognizing non-standard types of behavior and their prevention can be solved using advanced artificial intelligence technologies, which large language models can provide. This should increase the accuracy and robustness (resistance to interference) of our models.
Also, the "Digital Department" of NSU plans to launch the "Machine Learning" program. Students will practice on real projects related to the application of AI in various fields, using the SCC "Lavrentiev".
In 2026, when the SCC "Lavrentiev" is fully operational, its maximum computing power will be 10 petaflops (quadrillions of floating-point operations per second). It will be included in the ranking of world supercomputers.
