JADE2 was an EPSRC-funded Tier 2 regional High-Performance Computing Cluster based on GPUs. It was intended to be used to support Artificial Intelligence Research only. The computing nodes were based on NVIDIA DGX MAX-Q Deep Learning System platform. The cluster had 63 servers, each containing 8 NVIDIA Tesla V100 GPUs linked by NVIDIA’s NV link interconnects technology. Newcastle University was a member of the consortium of institutions sharing this resource.
