OLCF Explores Deep Learning with DGX-1

The OLCF's recently deployed DGX-1 artificial intelligence supercomputer by NVIDIA, featuring eight NVIDIA Tesla GPUs and NVLink technology, will offer scientists and researchers new opportunities to delve into deep learning technologies. The Oak Ridge Leadership Computing Facility (OLCF) recently deployed a new NVIDIA DGX‑1 artificial intelligence supercomputer to offer scientists and researchers opportunities to delve into deep learning technologies with more vigor than ever before. Deep learning uses neural networks to classify data or predict outcomes by training models on large data sets and by abstracting high-level features or patterns from lower level data. The OLCF is a DOE Office of Science User Facility located at ORNL. Scientists and researchers at the US Department of Energy's (DOE's) Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) are using deep learning because of its potential to leverage big data analytics to automate and accelerate the scientific discovery process.
