Dell has won CSIRO’s $15 million contract to replace the science agency’s GPU cluster to better handle artificial intelligence and machine learning. The new cluster is expected to be operational by the end of the year and eventually be used across multiple research areas.
Under a five year deal revealed last week, Dell will build, manage and support a high performance computer featuring hybrid direct liquid cooling technology at a Canberra Data Centre.
Dubbed the Advanced Scientific Accelerator Cluster (ASAC), the new machine replaces the ageing ‘Bracewell’ cluster that launched in 2017 and is also based on Dell hardware. The CSIRO began a search for its replacement in November last year.
