This award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) program (CFDA 47.070) provides $360,000 to the University of Illinois to develop "HPCGPT", a question-answering service that leverages generative AI and integrates data sources to enhance the user support services at academic high-performance computing (HPC) centers. In collaboration with Princeton University and Rutgers University, the project aims to improve the quality, efficiency, and response time of user support by providing HPC users with high-quality, timely answers to technical issues. This will allow the support teams to focus more on novel support challenges. The project combines fine-tuning and retrieval-augmented generation techniques to incorporate recent knowledge, past experience, domain expertise, and real-time system status to benefit research groups and computing centers with diverse application requirements and limited staff. The award period runs from August 1, 2024 to July 31, 2027.
