TACC supports research work on a wide range of machine learning applications with high-performance and scalable infrastructure on both software- and hardware-level. TACC is tailored to the workflow of machine learning application, providing you with a more efficient process of managing, deploying and scaling compute-intensive machine learning jobs in a computing cluster.
Unified Interface
The unified interface processes user job profiles for the machine learning cluster and offers tools for job monitoring, output retrieval, and log streaming. It enables job submission from local environments and incorporates environment provisioning scripts before scheduler submission.
ML Systems
ML frameworks optimize model development with state-of-the-art parallelization and distributed training techniques. These strategies improve data processing and algorithm execution, enabling efficient handling of complex computations and large datasets.
Cluster Scheduler
The cluster scheduler optimizes resource allocation in a machine learning cluster by analyzing job performance factors like completion time, resource utilization, and efficiency. This critical component boosts cluster efficiency and throughput.
AI-centric Networking
Our research enhances AI workloads by efficiently managing the transport of large models and utilizing SmartNICs for compute offloading. This setup optimizes data flow and reduces latency, ensuring high performance and scalability for AI applications.
