The Indian Institute of Technology-Jodhpur will be setting up the industry’s largest Artificial Intelligence (AI) Super computer.
IIT Jodhpur has signed a memorandum of understanding with NVIDIA (US based company) to install NVidia DGX-2, a state of the art machine with 512 GB of GPU memory and an enterprise grade AI infrastructure.
This would be India’s first AI Super computer.
Director of IIT-Jodhpur, Santanu Chaudhury said the AI Super computer would be utilised for solving various national technological challenges related to infrastructure (Tele Communication, Smart Cities), healthcare, scientific research & development, agriculture, education among others.
