IRIS Specialist Infrastructure

In addition to capacity CPU, GPU and storage hardware located at Rutherford Appleton Laboratory, GridPP and DiRAC IRIS has access to a variety of more specialist systems.

PEARL

Named after the computational mathematician Judea Pearl, the PEARL system is hosted at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory by STFC’s Scientific Machine Learning Group (SciML), part of the Scientific Computing Department.

PEARL contains two NVIDIA DGX2 nodes, 32 highly integrated GPUs, 3TB of system memory and 1TB of GPU memory, as well as 600TB of high-speed storage, which all are vital components for training complex AI models on very large datasets.

PEARL is already being used to carry out Machine Learning research for a wide array of projects in fields such as materials, environmental and life sciences, and astronomy.
