Facebook to Accelerate Global AI Research with New GPU Program Recipients

Today, Facebook is announcing new recipients to the GPU Partnership Program announced earlier this year. This program, fashioned with the goal of helping others make faster progress in the field of AI, is intended to overcome a large challenge, ensuring the world's top researchers have the infrastructure, tools and techniques to solve some of the largest technical problems. To help accomplish this, we are distributing 22 high-powered GPU servers to 15 world-class research groups across 9 European countries. The Facebook AI Research (FAIR) team will also work with recipients to ensure they have the software required to run the servers as well as directly collaborate with them in their ongoing research efforts. FAIR is well known for its open research efforts, and the insights from the GPU program are intended to be shared with the global scientific community.
