By a News Reporter-Staff News Editor at Robotics & Machine Learning Daily News Daily News-The National Center for Supercomputing Applications was recently awarded $4.9 million of supplemental fun ding from the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF) for Delta and an additional $4.9 million for DeltaAI to expand the potential capabilities of t he soon-to-launch system by nearly 50 percent. NCSA originally received nearly $25 million from NSF in 2023 to dep loy and operate DeltaAI, an advanced computing and data resource that will be a companion system to Delta. DeltaAI will triple NCSA's AI-focused computing capac ity and greatly expand the capacity available within the NSF-funded advanced com puting ecosystem. "DeltaAI will provide powerful capabilities for simulation and data science, wit h a strong emphasis on support for AI, which is in growing demand across many fi elds of science and engineering, said NCSA Director Bill Gropp during the DeltaA I announcement. "This project seeks to expand the use of AI methods in research by providing easier access, training offerings and other support to promote a wi der demographic of researchers. These project goals align with our greater missi on at NCSA and the NSF effort to democratize high-performance computing."
