This National Science Foundation (NSF) Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) federal grant award to the University of Texas at Austin is for the "COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: FRAMEWORKS: HPCGPT: ENHANCING COMPUTING CENTER USER SUPPORT WITH HPC-ENRICHED GENERATIVE AI" project. The $357,359 award, which runs from August 1, 2024 to July 31, 2027, will fund the development of an AI-powered question answering service called HPCGPT to enhance the user support capabilities at academic high-performance computing (HPC) centers. By integrating real-time system data, past support records, and external technical expertise using large language model and retrieval-augmented generation techniques, HPCGPT aims to provide high-quality, timely answers to users, reducing the workload on support staff and allowing them to focus on novel issues. This project builds on existing NSF-funded capabilities in large language model hosting and data integration to benefit research groups and computing centers with limited support resources.
