HeavyAI

What is HeavyAI?

See HeavyAI website.

This software was formerly known as OmniSci.

HeavyAI in the FASRC Cannon cluster

HeavyAI is implemented on the FASRC cluster using Singularity.

We recommend carefully reading HeavyAI hardware recommendation as they provide details about number of cores and RAM (memory) that you should request. They also recommend using SSD storage, which is available through local scratch.

You may request specific GPU cards on the FASRC clusters using the --constraint flag. See our Job Constraints documentation for more details.

Examples

Our recommendation is that you use HeavyAI through the Open On Demand interface via a VPN connection.  Also, we have learning sessions for Open on Demand..

Should you need the command line interface, User Codes is an example on how to do so..

Note: You will need to provide your own license key to use HeavyAI. FASRC does not provide a license. You can request a free version on HeavyAI downloads page. Note that the free license only allows limited computational resources.
