The Argonne National Laboratory is seeking information from academia, industry, nonprofit organizations, and other interested parties regarding opportunities to participate in the development and use of a National Genesis Mission Supercomputing Center of Innovation. The center will include AI supercomputing resources and be located on Argonne property. The laboratory is interested in receiving input on two areas: computing and infrastructure capabilities, and use, co-funding, and partnership interest.
Some key points to consider include:
• The center will provide AI supercomputing resources to support research, development, demonstration, and mission-focused applications.
• The laboratory is seeking input on opportunities for organizations to provide equipment, software, services, test beds, infrastructure elements, or other capabilities to support the center.
• The laboratory is also seeking input on models for access, collaboration, governance, and cost-sharing, including concepts that may draw on user facility practices, strategic partnerships, consortia, or other public-private arrangements.
• The center is expected to provide a unique value to complement, rather than duplicate, commercial cloud or privately owned infrastructure.
• The laboratory is interested in innovative approaches or technologies to mitigate the impact on communities and the environment.
