For the past two years, the U.S. National Science Foundation’s National Artificial Intelligence Research Resource (NAIRR) pilot program has driven innovative research across the U.S. for over 700 projects — spanning protein prediction and infectious disease outbreak management.

NVIDIA contributed to the NAIRR pilot through a cloud-based resource that gives researchers dedicated access to a minimum of four NVIDIA DGX nodes for at least a month. NVIDIA also provided technical support to onboard and assist the researchers throughout their projects.

With NVIDIA’s AI infrastructure support and DGX reference architecture providing dedicated resources, researchers have collapsed workflow timelines and uncovered groundbreaking technologies that will reshape and advance industries such as healthcare, agriculture and energy.

The potential for scientific exploration and discovery across the nation through NAIRR is boundless. Learn more about a few NAIRR projects below.

Simulation-to-real pipelines are becoming increasingly common across industries as a safer, more cost-efficient deployment method.

Polymathic AI — a coalition of international scientists from Flatiron Institute, Cambridge University and Lawrence Berkeley National Lab — with the help of NVIDIA GPUs and NVIDIA NVLink interconnect technology, is strengthening physical, fluidlike simulations with its large-scale dataset called the “Well.” The dataset will be used to train the largest and most broadly applicable foundation model for fluidlike behavior to date.
