LOS
ANGELES, April 30, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- MSBAI,
today announced an award of 75,000 node hours from the Oak Ridge
Leadership Computing Facility's SummitPLUS program to pursue their
proposed Artificial Intelligence research, entitled 'Autonomously
Driven Software – Pursuit of Level 4 Autonomy.'
The Oak Ridge Leadership Computing Facility
(OLCF) launched the 'SummitPLUS' opportunity in late 2023 to expand
access to their flagship supercomputer, Summit, for a broader range
of scientific and research applications.

The goals were to provide additional compute time
on Summit to researchers across academia, industry, and government
who could leverage the system's immense capabilities to tackle
challenging problems in areas like climate modeling, materials
science, energy research, and more with the aim of:
- Fostering collaboration between industry, academia, and
government sectors in scientific research
- Accelerating advancements in open science and high-performance
computing
Bronson Messer,
Director of Science for the OLCF said: "SummitPLUS is all about the
science community wringing the last bit of scientific impact out of
what has been a remarkably successful supercomputer. We are very
excited about the possibilities this short-term access to Summit
will present to researchers.
MSBAI's GURU system is a powerful AI platform
that sets up simulations in minutes (a process that traditionally
takes hours to complete) with an interface users can run on a broad
range of devices from laptops, to smartphones, and Vision Pro or
Quest headsets, a compute deployment system that can run the user's
requests on a variety of commercial cloud services, and modular
skills agents that are trained to accomplish 'hierarchical
planning' to perform work reliably for knowledge workers.
OLCF sought proposals that would push the
boundaries of the possible with Summit's powerful hardware,
including its GPUs, large memory capacity, and fast interconnects.
Gina Tourassi, Director of the National Center for Computational
Sciences at ORNL said: "Summit has been an invaluable resource for
our users and the broader HPC community for the past four years. We
are excited at the opportunity to extend Summit's life and impact
for another year and look forward to the insights from future
projects." Dr. Justin Whitt, OLCF
Program Director, added: "Summit is a world-class resource, and
we're glad to expand access to enable more researchers to push the
boundaries of what's possible in high-performance computing. The
selected projects showcase the incredible potential of this system
to accelerate scientific progress."
