Advanced HPC-CI Webinar Series: Using Expanse AI Resource 101
Remote event
The Expanse AI Resource is available under the NAIRR Pilot program. In this talk we will detail the H100 GPU node architecture, provide examples on usage of AI tools and frameworks, and provide information on the storage options. The AI tools examples will use both conda based installs and Singularity containers compatible with the system GPU drivers. Interactive computing on Expanse AI resource using Jupyter and Galyleo will be covered. Storage options including node local NVMe storage, and Ceph filesystem access both via S3 interface and the direct mount will be shown.
