The VAST AI Operating System is the data foundation for Texas Advanced Computing Center (TACC)'s Horizon, the highest performing academic supercomputer in the world, underscoring a 2 year strategic partnership that spans TACC’s Stampede3 and VISTA.
As the flagship of the National Science Foundation’s new Leadership-Class Computing Facility, the decision to extend VAST to Horizon was based on proven outcomes with Stampede3 and VISTA around performance, scale, resiliency and ease of administration.
The VAST AI OS is designed to converge AI and HPC infrastructure, feeding GPU-dense training and inference side-by-side with traditional simulation workloads, allowing labs to run next-gen AI and classic HPC pipelines without re-architecting data paths, and ultimately unlocking faster time-to-results – with less time moving data and more time running models, training AI, and publishing discoveries:
