The Asian Institute of Management’s (ACCeSs@AIM) Laboratory of Analysis, Computer Science and Complex Systems houses a supercomputer in the Philippines, with computational speeds of up to 1. 2 petaflops. This computer was donated through Stan Shih, co-founder and honorary president of the Acer Group and president of the Stan Shih Foundation, in 2018.
Acer is a Taiwanese tech giant, while AIM is the most productive business school for higher education in the Philippines.
The donation was made for the updating of the educational services and apparatus of the Asian Institute of Management (AIM) in its new Laboratory of Analytical, Computer and Complex Systems, which leads and promotes knowledge science, synthetic intelligence and various computer models to drive innovations.
The donation included 4 High R480 F4 GPU servers equipped with an Intel® Xeon® processor paired with NVIDIA® GTX1080Ti X and 256 GB ddr4-2400 RAM, a 2 TB SG 6 Gb/s 2. 5″ SATA 7200 rpm hard drive and a 480G 2. 5 SATA SSD S3520 series, as well as 8 D280 AST servers equipped with an Intel® Xeon® Cascade 6126 processor, NVIDIA® GTX1080Ti X and 256 GB DDR4-2400 RAM, SG 2 TB 6 Gbps 2. 5″ SATA HDD and 480G 2. 5″ S4510 Enterprise SSD, which greatly increases computing performance.
In January 2020, the supercomputer was upgraded via Acer from 500 teraflops to 1. 2 petaflops, with an additional access of 0. 5 petaflops. Data science scholars had access to and had the opportunity to use aiForge, a software developed through Acer in collaboration with ACCeSs@AIM, which serves as a verification site for the Acer aiForge platform, which directly affects the progression of the software.
The Acer supercomputer, optimized to perform synthetic intelligence calculations, provides academics with the most complex tool for mastering knowledge research, synthetic intelligence, device learning, and computer modeling. courses on device learning, deep learning, big knowledge and cloud computing, programming for knowledge science, mathematics for knowledge science, knowledge mining and disputes, complex knowledge mining, network science, herbal language processing, and advent of symbol processing. Since its launch, AIM’s MSDS program has been identified by Eduniversal in its published rating of the most successful teachers for scientific research in the Far East as one of the 3 smartest Master of Science systems in science ahead of any offerings in South Korea or Singapore, among others.
With the Acer supercomputer, MSDS academics carried out commercial and synthesis projects, such as healthcare call forecasts, local microcredits, and candidate functionality forecasts.
Superpc upgrade and access to aiForge were also used through PhD students for their courses and research, overcoming barriers in fields such as computational linguistics, urban analysis, traffic modelling and optimization, forecasting and the social sciences of computer science.
Thanks to Acer’s donation, AIM was able to attract a Ph. D. Fake candidates and academics while expanding collaborations nationally and internationally. A total of 124 academics use the Acer supercomputer. There are seven courses in the MSDS program that delivered the machine: Data Science Programming, Mathematics in Data Science, Data Mining and Wrangling, Big Data Cloud and Computing, Machine Learning 1, 2, and 3, and Applied Computational Statistics. Two courses (Model Thinking, Algorithms, Computations and Advanced Time Series Analysis) in the doctorate. in DS also benefited from the donation from Acer, specifically for the presentation of their demo meetings and their final projects.
“What is provided through the Acer Foundation has helped and will continue to help promote partnerships between industry, government and academia through education, progress and technological entrepreneurship, which in turn will aim to integrate one of asia’s five most sensible business schools over the next ten years. ” said Professor Chrismost sensibleher Monterola, Aboitiz’s president in data science and CEO of ACCeSs@AIM.
“At Acer, we are in the works of ACCeSs@AIM to teach and advise existing and long-term business leaders in the country and to improve the fields of knowledge science, artificial intelligence and computer modeling in the Philippines,” said Sue Ong-Lim, Managing Director of Acer Philippines.
