Presenters: Ramses van Zon (SciNet)

Funding for a state-of-the-art artificial intelligence infrastructure at SciNet was announced in November 28, 2025 as part of the Canadian Sovereign AI Compute Strategy. This infrastructure is being installed as an expansion of the Trillium GPU cluster, and is one of the resources which can be requested for the 2027 resource allocation competion of the Digital Research Alliance of Canada. In this talk, we will deliver an update on this project. We will present the architecture of the AI expansion, ways in which it will be accessed, how it compares to the existing GPU resources, and what workflows are best suitable for it.
