The Scientific Council of the Paris Observatory has funded an equipment dedicated to Artificial Intelligence. It is made of 3 Nvidia Tesla V100 GPU (total of 375 peak Tensor Tera-FLOPS) that were particularly useful for preliminary studies in the context of the SKA Data Challenge.
In the context of the second SKA Data Challenge, the French National Jean Zay’s supercomputer (rated at 28 hybrid peak Peta-FLOPS and more than 330 peak GPU Tensor Peta-FLOPS), owned by GENCI, hosted and operated by IDRIS/CNRS has allocated 1,000 hours of GPU computing resources (Nvidia Tesla V100 GPUs) to the MINERVA project.
