The Cerebras CS-1 system will deploy on-site in late summer 2019. The goal of this workshop is to support researchers to be ready to use the system when it arrives. The registration form provides opportunities for researchers to give talks. The workshop is open to all Argonne personnel. Also, Rick will be giving an update on AI Initiatives at Argonne on Wednesday, May 22, 9am - 11am in 362 Auditorium. Part of the presentation will focus on requirements for running on CS-!, so that groups can determine their state of readiness. Mark your calendars to attend Rick’s presentation on Wednesday, May 22 to get more details about the Cerebras Workshop as well an update on AI Initiatives at Argonne. Thanks, Valerie --------------------------------------------- Cerebras CS-1 Workshop Goal Argonne is leading high-impact opportunities to use advanced hardware for deep learning in mission critical areas. One of these new systems is the Cerebras CS-1 which will deploy on-site in late summer 2019. To ensure that Argonne project teams are ready to use this advanced architecture the moment it's deployed, CELS is initiating a series of events to support researchers across the Lab. ALD Rick Stevens will provide a 2-hour kick-off talk on May 22, 2019 to outline the opportunities, anticipated activities, and schedule. Using knowledge gained from this event, Laboratory researchers who believe their projects meet the deep learning criteria and want to use the CS-1 machine are strongly encouraged to complete this SurveyMonkey Registration and participate at the Argonne Workshop for CS-1: Open Forum for Application Selection event hosted on June 7, 2019. Groups that meet the criteria will then be invited to a hackathon to get them fully ready for immediate work on the CS-1. Registration and Participation To attend the Argonne Workshop for CS-1: Open Forum for Application Selection and be considered for an application project with access to the CS-1, you must: · Register via SurveyMonkey: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/ApplicationEvaluationWorkshop · Complete the entirety of the SurveyMonkey pre-questionnaire form · Present at the workshop using the provided PPT slide deck during your designated speaking slot The workshop is open to all Argonne personnel.
