Elevating AI Research at Cognitive Agents and Interaction Lab: A Technical Report on High-Performance Computing Infrastructure

Abstract

<p>The Cognitive Agents and Interaction Lab (CAIL) at the University of Dhaka has strategically developed a focused High-Performance Computing (HPC) facility, underpinning its niche in artificial intelligence (AI) research, with a special emphasis — but not limited to — deep and reinforcement learning within the context of multi-agent systems. This technical report outlines the HPC resources at CAIL, highlighting a number of advanced GPUs that drive our research forward. The facility, supported by multiple grants, exemplifies a model for small-scale, high-impact computational research environments. We detail how these resources empower our team to achieve significant strides in AI, despite the challenges of scale, and set a precedent for innovation in the field.</p>
