Description

The government department of science innovation and technology (DSIT) and the UK science funding council (UKRI )have kick started a large scale AI national service called the AI Research Resource AIRR. This sovereign AI capability will launch in early access mode in early 2025, and consists of two AI systems an HPE NVIDEA GPU system at Bristol University and a Dell Intel GPU system at Cambridge. These two systems are to be run as a single service and accessed via a single federated access mechanism. Todays talk will outline these systems and describe some early pioneer projects that have been run on the Cambridge system as the system part of the system bring up process.
