Dear researcher,

We appreciate your understanding if you receive multiple copies of this
message.

The AI and Big Data team at the Pittsburgh Supercomputing Center is pleased
to announce that the Neocortex Spring 2023 Call for Proposals is now open.
Proposals are welcomed for access to Neocortex
<https://www.cmu.edu/psc/aibd/neocortex/index.html>, an innovative and
exciting NSF-funded AI supercomputer. Neocortex features specialized
Cerebras hardware technologies to accelerate AI and HPC research in pursuit
of science, discovery, and societal good. We are accepting and reviewing
applications on a rolling basis until April 12th. Applications will be
reviewed as they come in.

There are four tracks of project proposals:


   1.

   ML workflows leveraging models as-is from the Cerebras Modelzoo using
   PyTorch and TensorFlow.
   -

      Supported models include Transformer style models such as BERT, GPT,
      Transformer, T5, and ViT. 2D UNet models are also supported with limited
      functionality.
      2.

   ML workflows leveraging models similar to those of the Cerebras Modelzoo
   using PyTorch and TensorFlow.
   3.

   General purpose projects leveraging the Cerebras SDK and CSL (the
   Cerebras equivalent of CUDA).
   4.

   Domain specific programming on structured grids leveraging the
   specialized WFA API <https://dirk-netl.github.io/WSE_FE/>.


Before applying, we encourage interested researchers to view the slides and
recording from our informational webinar
<https://www.cmu.edu/psc/aibd/neocortex/2023-02-webinar-overview-cfp-spring-2023.html>
and review the call for proposals guidelines
<https://www.cmu.edu/psc/aibd/neocortex/2023-03-cfp-spring-2023.html>.
Questions regarding Neocortex or the application process are welcomed at
neocortex at psc.edu.

If your proposal is successful, we expect your team would be granted access
around mid-May. As a friendly reminder, there is no cost to access and use
Neocortex for open research.

We look forward to your application!


The Neocortex team
