About the High-Performance Computing Resource Utilization Support Program

Strengthens the competitiveness of the AI industry by providing high-performance computing resources (GPU/NPU).

Program Objectives

  • Strengthen the competitiveness of the AI industry by providing cloud-based high-performance GPU computing resources, supporting large-scale AI model training and research in advanced technologies such as generative AI and physical AI
  • Support the research and development of various AI solutions by providing AI semiconductor–based inference services, while expanding the commercialization and utilization market for domestically developed AI semiconductors and enhancing the competitiveness of the Korean semiconductor industry

Program Details

Implementation Framework and Key Roles
Structure diagram of the implementation framework and key roles, with the Ministry of Science and ICT as the primary supervisory authority and NIPA as the dedicated managing institution. Operating agencies serve as project executing bodies, working through agreements with users and GPU·NPU providers. Users apply for and utilize resources, participate in surveys and performance evaluations, and submit reports. Operating agencies manage providers and users, conduct performance and satisfaction surveys, identify best practices, and handle settlements. GPU·NPU providers supply cloud-based GPU·NPU and other computing resources.
01
User Selection

Users are selected through a comprehensive evaluation of factors such as the likelihood of achieving project goals and expected impact. Agreements are then signed with the selected users to ensure smooth resource support.

02
High-Performance Computing Resource Support

GPU/NPU resources are provided through resource suppliers, along with technical support to help users effectively utilize the resources.

03
Payment of Supplier Rental Fees

Users’ resource usage fees are settled and rental fees are paid to the suppliers.

04
Dissemination of Program Outcomes

Program results are reviewed through user surveys (July) and performance surveys (November), and user performance analysis and performance management are conducted.

05
User Training and Roundtable Meetings

AI training programs are provided to improve resource utilization, and user feedback is collected through meetings to identify areas for program improvement.

About AI Research Computing Support

Contributes to enhancing national AI competitiveness by providing ultra-high-performance GPU resources to leading AI researchers in Korea.

Program Objective

To promote the advancement of innovative AI technologies by identifying providers capable of supplying large-scale computing resources (GPUs) and researchers who require such resources, thereby strengthening national AI competitiveness.
