Where do you get access to those as a member of the general public?
It also says commercial orgs can get access via negotiation, I expect a random member of the public would be able to go that route as well. I expect that there would be some hurdles to cross, it isn't really common for random members of the public to be doing the kinds of research Gadi was created to benefit. I expect it is the same way in this case in Canada. I suppose the argument is if there weren't any gatekeeping at all, you might end up with all kinds of unsuitable stuff on the cluster, e.g. crypto miners and such.
Possibly another way for a true random person to get access would be to get some kind of 0-hour academic affiliation via someone willing to back you up, or one could enrol in a random AI course or something and then talk to the lecturer in charge.
In reality, the (also taxpayer-subsidised) university pays some fee for access, but it doesn't come from any of our budgets.
It's pretty meagre pickings!
> 160 nodes each containing four Nvidia V100 GPUs
and two, well, it's a CPU-based supercomputer.
These resources aren't available to the public, but if I were king for a day we'd increase science funding such that we'd have compute resources available to high-school students and the general public (possibly following training on how to use it).
Making sure folks didn't use it to mine bitcoin would be important, though ;)
I wish that wasn't the case though!
