The Next Era of Accelerated Computing
Computer scientists in academia, research institutes, government labs, supercomputing centers and in business around the world are looking to solve today's most challenging problems through computationally intensive research. In order to build entirely new algorithmic applications across a range of fields, they require advanced computing systems.
The IPU is a new massively parallel processor with a unique MIMD architecture designed to accelerate the world's most compute-intensive data processing applications with a mature software stack to enable fine grained programming.

Solving New Problems in Computational Research
The Accelerated Computing Academy is designed to support C++ computer scientists build entirely new applications that require highly parallel and high-performance compute.
This programme aims to help researchers advance their projects in new and unlimited directions that transcend AI and machine learning.
Whether it's simulation modelling, structural analysis, video processing, or computational finance, we're looking for new and novel ways to leverage IPUs along with our Poplar Software.
We're open to working with academia across multiple fields such as Computer Science, Mathematical Sciences, Physics, Data Analytics, Finance, Energy, Chemistry, Aerodynamics, Biology, Geographical Sciences, and more.
Benefits
Accelerated Computing Academy members will gain access to a variety of benefits
