The Joint Academic Data Science Endeavour (JADE) is an EPSRC funded Tier 2 facility supporting world-leading research in machine learning. The computational hub harnessed the capabilities of the NVIDIA MAXQ Deep Learning System and is comprised of 63 servers, each containing 8 NVIDIA Tesla V100 GPUs linked by NVIDIA's NV link interconnect technology. The JADE facility aims to address the gap between university systems and access to national HPC services. This will drive forward innovation in machine learning and molecular dynamics, identifying new applications and insights in to research challenges.
The following timetable has been agreed for the phased withdrawal of the “JADE” service:
Please be advised that vendor-based support for JADE’s hardware components, including its primary storage appliance, is subject to a series of end dates from October 2024. Although it is intended that the system remains on-line through January 2025 for the retrieval of data, users are strongly encouraged to take copies of required files to a secondary location outside of JADE before [the end of] October and to consider the service “at risk” from October in the event that issues arise with JADE that we are then unable to resolve.
This timetable has been agreed between University of Oxford (Professor Wes Armour), STFC Hartree Centre and representatives for the JADE community.
Please note following the closure of the original "JADE" system (also referred to as "JADE-1" following the introduction of the "JADE-2" system) in 2021/22, the newer "JADE-2" system became the only system providing the "JADE" service. Across the community, the newer system and overarching service have since been commonly and interchangeably referred to as "JADE".
