GPU Compute Servers (GRICAD)
Description
NVIDIA H100 GPU-accelerated calculation servers allow massive parallelism of simulations carried out with the main codes used in materials science. Additionally, with the increasing use of machine learning models in materials science, they are becoming an indispensable tool for running AI models and massive data analysis. These servers will be set up during 2024 for the development and testing of codes and workflows for the DIADEM community, with a view to their deployment in national centers.
GPU servers also have a much more attractive cost (financial or energy)/performance ratio than purely CPU calculation servers.
