The team is also exploring and developing new parallel-computing paradigms and architectures for researchers who need to process, store, retrieve, analyze, and understand massive data sets, where computation and storage breakthroughs are essential.<\/p>\n<p>With all classes of research, IDSC Advanced Computing strives for synergy and interaction. Over the past decade, the University\u2019s Advanced Computing platform has grown the HPC cyberinfrastructure from nothing to a regional advanced-computing environment supporting 1,700+ users and a very large state-of-the-art data storage system (well over 10 PB current live data).<\/p>\n<p>The U\u2019s latest acquisition,\u00a0<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/idsc.miami.edu\/resources__trashed\/triton\/\">Triton<\/a>,<\/strong>\u00a0a state-of-art\u00a0<strong>IBM power9 system<\/strong>\u00a0was rated one of the\u00a0<strong>Top 5 Academic Institution Supercomputers in the US for 2019<\/strong>, and is UM\u2019s first GPU-accelerated high-performance computing (HPC) system, representing a completely new approach to computational and data science. Built using IBM Power Systems AC922 servers, this system was designed to maximize data movement between the IBM POWER9 CPU and attached accelerators like GPUs. Triton is designed to accommodate traditional HPC, interactive Data Science, Big Data AI, and Machine Learning workloads. This represents a quantum leap in the University\u2019s computing infrastructure, and it is designed to address the ever-expanding needs of data-driven research.<\/p>\n<p>The University\u2019s first Supercomputer\u00a0<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/idsc.miami.edu\/resources__trashed\/pegasus\/\">Pegasus<\/a><\/strong>, an\u00a0<strong>IBM\u00a0<\/strong><strong>IDataPlex system<\/strong>, was ranked at number 389 on the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/top500.org\/lists\/top500\/2012\/11\/\"><strong>November 2012 Top 500 Supercomputer Sites list<\/strong><\/a>.
