ATLANTA — Georgia Tech is preparing to unveil a new artificial intelligence supercomputer Monday that will provide researchers across the country with access to advanced computing resources.
The next-generation supercomputer, known as Nexus, is designed to support scientific discoveries in several fields, including drug discovery, neuroscience, energy, aerospace, robotics and advanced manufacturing.
According to Georgia Tech, at least 90% of Nexus’ computing capacity will be available to researchers nationwide through an open, peer-reviewed allocation process.
The system will use artificial intelligence and cloud computing to provide researchers with access to its computing resources.
The project is supported by a $20 million investment from the U.S. National Science Foundation and a partnership with the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign.
Georgia Tech says the new system will help researchers make scientific discoveries by expanding access to advanced computing technology.
A ribbon-cutting ceremony and official unveiling of Nexus are scheduled for 3:45 p.m. Monday at CODA in Tech Square.
