Hi ModCon Team & MTs, Two additional systems are now available in the ALCF AI Testbed: Cerebras-CS-3 (CS-3) and SambaNova SN40L (Metis). These systems expand the range of architectures accessible to researchers developing and deploying machine learning and AI workloads at scale. The CS-3 system is designed for large-scale model training and fine-tuning. It consists of four CS-3 wafer-scale engines configured to support models of up to approximately 200 billion parameters. The Metis system is optimized for inference workloads that require high throughput and low latency. It comprises two SambaRacks, each containing 16 SN40L RDU systems. Like all of Argonne's other AI accelerator systems, CS-3 and Metis are open to the research community with proven problems to solve. To Get Started on CS-3: Researchers can now submit project proposals for these systems platforms via the ALCF's Director's Discretionary (DD) program. There is no submission deadline; proposals will be accepted throughout the year. - To submit a proposal: ALCF's DD allocation form<https://urldefense.us/v3/__https://gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https*3A*2F*2Fmy.alcf.anl.gov*2Faccounts*2F*23*2FallocationRequests&data=05*7C02*7Caurora-notify*40alcf.anl.gov*7Cce14dfbc89d24c4bbb8008de16feb06f*7C0cfca18525f749e38ae7704d5326e285*7C0*7C0*7C638973480285667953*7CUnknown*7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJFbXB0eU1hcGkiOnRydWUsIlYiOiIwLjAuMDAwMCIsIlAiOiJXaW4zMiIsIkFOIjoiTWFpbCIsIldUIjoyfQ*3D*3D*7C0*7C*7C*7C&sdata=54tvR5FKCWZrgj35Pd5ZKreNrhVe62D7a*2BF3PYwajms*3D&reserved=0__;JSUlJSUlJSUlJSUlJSUlJSUlJSUlJSUlJQ!!G_uCfscf7eWS!Y4WcigcK2ffMVk5vSwMkHzGGg1TW6sxupy7_4-Axsq4nMWVk611d7YSMd9AcfEqaEpAcdHimcDJmN6uXGZejHNWqNQXDmA$> - For technical details on Cerebras CS-3: CS-3 user guide<https://urldefense.us/v3/__https://gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https*3A*2F*2Fdocs.alcf.anl.gov*2Fai-testbed*2Fcerebras*2F&data=05*7C02*7Caurora-notify*40alcf.anl.gov*7Cce14dfbc89d24c4bbb8008de16feb06f*7C0cfca18525f749e38ae7704d5326e285*7C0*7C0*7C638973480285689105*7CUnknown*7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJFbXB0eU1hcGkiOnRydWUsIlYiOiIwLjAuMDAwMCIsIlAiOiJXaW4zMiIsIkFOIjoiTWFpbCIsIldUIjoyfQ*3D*3D*7C0*7C*7C*7C&sdata=rQ0F0Z1ylGj7m*2Bs*2F8HzkVY7skoqV3YNpYSpsLJahRe4*3D&reserved=0__;JSUlJSUlJSUlJSUlJSUlJSUlJSUlJSUlJQ!!G_uCfscf7eWS!Y4WcigcK2ffMVk5vSwMkHzGGg1TW6sxupy7_4-Axsq4nMWVk611d7YSMd9AcfEqaEpAcdHimcDJmN6uXGZejHNV6XlTMsQ$> To Get Started on Metis: Metis is available as part of the ALCF Inference endpoints service, and all ALCF users have access to the system.
