National Machine Learning eResearch Platform launch

7 November 2023

We are pleased to announce the launch of the Machine Learning eResearch Platform (MLeRP).  The platform is now available to Australian and New Zealand researchers to efficiently allocate compute resources for their machine learning (ML) needs.

The new MLeRP developed by the Monash eResearch Centre with ARDC co-investment through the National Machine Learning Service project combines the interactivity of a notebook and the power of an HPC environment, allowing users to develop and debug their algorithms while processing their dataset.

Users can change compute requirements like RAM and GPU sizes and number of processes without leaving the notebook environment, and when their code is not being executed, compute resources can be released for other users.

The Machine Learning eResearch Platform (MLeRP) creates a middle ground that has the interactivity of a notebook with the power of a HPC environment that can share valuable resources between other users while code isn’t being executed.

MLeRP is available through open beta to all Australian and New Zealand researchers. To gain access to the MLeRP platform or join the mailing list for updates sign up with your institutional email address here.
