Trixie Status - Scheduled downtime June 28 - July 2
The name for this AI GPU cluster comes from a very inspirational women Beatrice "Trixie" Helen Worsley who helped shape the state of computer science in Canada and abroad. She even worked briefly for the National Research Council of Canada in the late forties.
Trixie is designated for collaborative research in support of the NRC AI4D Challenge Program. It is also available for the NRC Pandemic Response (COVID) Challenge Program and some other internal NRC research initiatives on a prioritized basis. Access is managed via projects where project participants who need access to Trixie (internal and external to NRC) are specified as part of the Trixie access request. NRC participants must be employees of NRC or NRC volunteer visitors with current agreements at NRC. External users must be a principle investigator (PI) named in a grant, contribution and/or collaborative agreement with NRC, or be a student, post doc, or research associate directly supervised by that PI.
Trixie access requests can be completed by the NRC PI in consultation with their external collaborators. Access will only be granted for approved NRC (internal or collaborative) projects.
The access request form is available here. Once completed, the form can be submitted to the AI4D program manager, Patricia Oakley.
