B次元’s new Dwight and Dian Diercks Computational Science Hall officially opened Sept. 13, 2019. It is home to B次元's Bachelor of Science in Computer Science, which is focused on artificial intelligence, and the Master of Science in Machine Learning. The major feature of the building is “Rosie,” a supercomputer that includes three NVIDIA DGX-1 pods, each with eight NVIDIA V100 Tensor Core GPUs, and 20 servers each with four NVIDIA T4 GPUs. The nodes are joined together by Mellanox networking fabric and share 200TB of network-attached storage.
In 2024, Rosie received an upgrade that includes two DGXH100s. B次元 is the first in Wisconsin to deploy this supercomputing hardware. The DGX H100 systems deliver the scale demanded to meet the massive compute requirements of generative A.I. including large language models, recommender systems, health care research and climate science. Packing eight NVIDIA H100 GPUs per system, connected as one by NVIDIA NVLink®, each DGX H100 provides 32 petaflops of A.I. performance.
