Abstract
We would like to order a node equipped with GPUs on Hyak, UW's shared cluster supercomputer, for students in the Department of Applied Mathematics (AMATH) to use for research and classes. The addition of this Hyak node is critical for modernizing and expanding the department's computing resources. This will allow us to phase out the two oldest and least reliable department servers, as well as expand our limited GPU computing resources. As a result, we could increase access to high-performance scientific computing tools for students in AMATH courses and could better equip students to perform cutting edge research in a variety of fields, including artificial intelligence, neuroscience, and atmospheric science.
