EIDF is optimised for data science and artificial intelligence. We offer a range of compute services from scalable notebooks, through data science desktops to specialist compute platforms, including a large-scale AI engine—the Cerebras. EIDF Cerebras The EIDF Cerebras service gives users access to a Cerebras Waferscale AI-system optimised for training and tuning AI deep learning. EIDF Ultra2 Service Ultra2 is a large, shared-memory, high-performance compute service for the most demanding problems. It is an HPE Superdome Flex with 576 cores and 18 TB of main memory shared across these cores. EIDF Virtual Desktops EIDF provides a range of desktops delivered to your web browser using "virtual desktop infrastructure" (VDI). Choose from a range of pre-configured virtual desktop machines (VMs) ready-built with data science toolkits for a variety of uses. Access via ssh is also available. EIDF GPU Service The EIDF GPU Service provides a containerised processing platform accelerated by NVIDIA GPUs to support scalable data processing and AI workloads. EIDF Jupyter Notebook EIDF offers Jupyter Notebooks through JupyterHub. These notebooks support a range of programming languages including Python, R and Julia. Users in the same project can collaborate on notebooks. The files in notebooks are shared with the virtual desktops of the same project to enable users to switch between notebooks and virtual desktop environments. This article was published on 2023-11-24
