Isambard-AI and Dawn AIRR supercomputers: Gateway route

This access route is open to UK-based researchers from academia, industry, and other organisations. It provides flexible computational support for artificial intelligence (AI) related research and development projects, such as first-time users of AI supercomputing resources, testing of novel algorithms, code, and workflows, and benchmarking of algorithms, code, and workflows before applying for larger AI Research Resource (AIRR) opportunities. Each project can access 10,000 graphics processing unit (GPU) hours on the Isambard-AI and Dawn supercomputers, to be used within three months of project start. No funding is provided. The Gateway route is an open and flexible pathway to request computational resources for users across academia, commercial and individual research. Users should be looking to explore novel and developing areas of AI research, as well as supporting upskilling across a wide range of AI-relevant experience. Research topics include development of novel algorithms and software tools, exploring AI-assisted workflow, and AI-driven data collection, production, and synthesis.
