High-Performance Computing and GPU Acceleration for Mission Workloads
Design and deployment of a high-performance computing cluster with GPU acceleration to support computationally intensive mission applications including AI training, scientific simulation, and signals processing.
Challenge
- Existing compute infrastructure cannot keep pace with growing AI/ML and simulation workloads
- Long queue times and resource contention on shared HPC resources
- Need for GPU-accelerated compute within a secure, accredited environment
Approach
- Profile workload characteristics to determine optimal GPU/CPU ratios and interconnect requirements
- Design dense compute clusters with high-bandwidth, low-latency fabric (InfiniBand/RoCE)
- Implement job scheduling and resource management for multi-tenant usage
- Integrate with existing storage systems and establish data pipeline automation
Typical Outcomes
- Dramatically reduced model training and simulation run times
- Improved researcher productivity through reduced queue wait times
- Scalable platform ready for next-generation AI/ML workloads
Procurement Paths
- NASA SEWP V and SEWP VI for HPC hardware and GPU accelerators
- ITES-4H for Army compute infrastructure
- GSA MAS for integration and professional services
