UMass today rolled out its new GPU cluster – Gypsum – aimed at deep learning. Like many institutions, UMass is seeking to attract Ph.D. students drawn to deep learning and artificial intelligence. At 400 GPUs, Gypsum is on the large side for academic GPU clusters according the university. The new systems will be housed at the Massachusetts Green High Performance Computing Center in Holyoke, Mass., and is the result of a five-year, $5 million grant to the campus from the Massachusetts Technology Collaborative made last year. It represents a one-third match to a $15 million gift supporting data science and cybersecurity research from the MassMutual Foundation of Springfield.
