Singapore university leverages NVIDIA's supercomputer for AI research

Thanks to the supercomputer, SMU's food AI project has successfully recognised the 100 most popular dishes in Singapore. The Singapore Management University (SMU) will be using the NVIDIA DGX1 deep learning supercomputer to conduct AI research for Singapore's Smart Nation project. The research will take place at the SMU Living Analytics Research Centre (LARC), which is supported and funded by Singapore's National Research Foundation (NRF). Providing performance that is equivalent to 250 conventional servers, the supercomputer will reduce the time it takes for researchers to train sophisticated deep neural networks. The solution is also built on NVIDIA Tesla P100 GPUs, which utilise the latest Pascal GPU architecture.
