An introduction to the usage of the Hertie School GPU supercomputing server
As part of the expansion of its data science offerings, including the recent additions of a Data Science Lab and the Master of Data Science for Public Policy (MDS) programme, the Hertie School has invested in a state-of-the-art multi-GPU enterprise deep learning server.
The high-performance computing system will allows students and researchers to experiment and build prototypes for data science-based digital products and services. The server offers 4 of the most advanced deep learning accelerators and GPU available on the market (NVIDIA A100) with capacity of 1 PetaFLOPS in computing (the equivalent of 50000 personal computers). It will open up new avenues for scientific exploration in data-driven research at the Hertie School, from Natural Language Processing to Computer Vision, which aims to shed light on major public policy challenges such as climate change or migration.
In this workshop, Reed Garvin, MDS candidate Class of 2023, will introduce on the usage of how to sign into the server on Hertie premise, as well as basic operation to start making use of the computing power on the server.
