Isambard-AI and Dawn AIRR supercomputers: Rapid Access route

The Rapid Access route provides access to 20,000 GPU hours on the Isambard-AI and Dawn AI Research Resource (AIRR) supercomputers for UK-registered micro, small and medium businesses. This access route supports early-stage development of artificial intelligence (AI) products prior to market launch, aimed at start-ups and SMEs to allow them to conduct research and development activities at short notice and respond rapidly to market opportunities. Eligible research and development activities include feasibility studies, industrial research, and experimental development. The GPU hours must be used within three months of project start. No funding is available to successful applicants - this application process is purely for compute resource. While particularly keen to hear from projects contributing to government's five missions (growing economy, NHS, safer streets, opportunity for all, clean energy), this route is open to any eligible business.
