DeltaAI: A National Resource for AI/ML Research

DeltaAI is a new NSF funded resource supporting researchers nationwide via the ACCESS and NAIRR Pilot programs. DeltaAI builds upon the success of Delta and supplants Delta as the most powerful GPU resource available via the ACCESS program. DeltaAI leverages the Delta environment sharing storage and infrastructure resources while offering a more scalable platform capable of scaling jobs up to the full node count of the system. DeltaAI offers the latest NVIDIA H100 GPUs as part of the innovative Grace Hopper architecture. This paper describes the full architecture of DeltaAI and our experiences benchmarking applications and supporting research teams during the acceptance process for DeltaAI.
