Providing technology for research in the field of meteorological science following the typhoon and heavy rain prediction system

NVIDIA is providing the Korea Institute of Science and Technology Information (KISTI), which has demonstrated outstanding technical achievements in the fields of High Performance Computing (HPC) and Artificial Intelligence (AI), with NVIDIA GPUs for testing free of charge and offering remote support for NVIDIA's latest technologies, including the V100.

NVIDIA explained the background, stating that after reviewing the working relationship between the two parties and the collaborative projects between the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) and KISTI, it highly valued the achievements KISTI has demonstrated in the fields of HPC and AI research and decided to support future research activities. In particular, it was highly praised for KISTI’s leadership in the application of HPC and AI in the field of weather and climate prediction research, and for demonstrating the potential of GPUs in the development of high-performance and highly scalable models to cope with extreme weather caused by climate change.

NVIDIA anticipates that parallel computing can bring groundbreaking advancements to the performance, energy efficiency, and cost-effectiveness of HPC, and has been collaborating with various research institutions.

The two achievements of KISTI that NVIDIA noted are demonstrating the potential to actively utilize GPU-based system architectures in real-life applications, and showing the excellence of GPU optimization technology by applying GPU-based systems to the simulation of the Earth system.

The research support provided by NVIDIA to KISTI includes the free provision of four P100 GPUs, remote access to GPU technologies such as the V100 located at NVIDIA headquarters, access to the CUDA software environment, and engineering technical support.

NVIDIA plans to actively leverage the potential of GPU-based solutions in the field of weather and climate prediction research through continuous collaboration with KISTI.
