Voyager: Advancing AI for Science and Engineering
Voyager is an ACCESS innovative AI system designed for science and engineering research at scale. The NSF-funded system was developed collaboratively with Supermicro and Intel’s Habana Lab and is operated by the San Diego Supercomputer Center at UC San Diego. Voyager focuses on supporting research in science and engineering that increasingly depends on artificial intelligence and deep learning as a critical element in the experimental and/or computational work. The system features the Habana Gaudi training and first-generation Habana inference processors, along with a high performance, low latency 400 gigabit-per-second interconnect from Arista. Voyager gives researchers the ability to work with extremely large data sets using standard AI tools, like TensorFlow and PyTorch, or develop their own deep-learning models using developer tools and libraries from Habana Labs.
Voyager began a three-year testbed phase in early 2022, which involves selected projects, workshops and industry interactions. An allocation phase that will give the broader research community access to the system will begin following the testbed phase.
