Re: Request for Feedback on GPSC Services - Visualization nodes

by Stany Nzobonimpa

Unclassified | Non classifié Hello Ting-Yang, This is very timely for us as we have just submitted - today - our first request for ThinLinc to start using VIS! We had previously not been using it because our AI work was almost entirely Python-based. However, we are currently exploring agentic coding and looking to leverage VIS, and likely the GPU accelerator. Ou planned usage will likely be general interactive work – we want to be able to implement AI-powered experimental development work (more to follow on how frequent, etc.). Thanks for keeping us up to date on the ongoing review of services.

We would like to better understand how these resources are being used: 1. Do you use the VIS nodes? 2. If so, do you primarily use them for the desktop environment (for example, file navigation, visualization, or general interactive work)? 3. Do you use GPU acceleration on the VIS nodes? 4. If so, how frequently do you use GPU acceleration? Please reply to this email at your earliest convenience. Thank you for your time and input. Your feedback will help us improve our services and better align them with user needs.
