- Laying the Groundwork for Future Medical Imaging Technology Innovation and Contributing to the Expansion of Infrastructure at the KAIST Jae-Cheol Kim Graduate School of AI
- Successful deployment of top-of-the-line NVIDIA HGX H200 servers funded by the DRGEM Development Fund
DRGEM attended the “AI Star Fellowship High-Performance GPU Server Opening Ceremony” held at KAIST on May 13. This event was organized to express gratitude to the stakeholders who contributed to building the AI research infrastructure at the KAIST Kim Jaechul Graduate School of AI. Moreover, it aimed to jointly support the future growth of the AI Star Fellowship project.
DRGEM’s Preemptive Donation Fruitioning into Global Top-Tier Ultra-High-Speed AI Research Infrastructure
DRGEM previously donated 300 million KRW in development funds in September 2024 to foster a high-performance research environment at the KAIST Kim Jaechul Graduate School of AI. The high-performance GPU server introduced this time has finally come to fruition through DRGEM’s preemptive support. It is combined as part of the “AI Top-Tier Young Researcher Support Project (AI Star Fellowship Support Project)” hosted by the Ministry of Science and ICT.
This equipment was successfully installed in March this year after undergoing review processes by the National Research Facilities & Equipment Center (NFEC) and the Institute of Information & Communications Technology Planning & Evaluation (IITP). In particular, the introduced server is configured with the highest-specification “NVIDIA HGX H200 (141GB).” It boasts an innovative computational performance up to 3.17 times faster than the existing A100. Furthermore, it is scheduled to be utilized as a core hub infrastructure for large-scale AI model training and super-gap technology research in the future.
Concurrent Hosting of the Ministry of Science and ICT AI Star Fellowship Plaque Unveiling Ceremony and Expectations for Bio-Medical AI Innovation
At the event on this day, the plaque unveiling ceremony for the Ministry of Science and ICT’s “AI Star Fellowship” was also held concurrently. The “AI Star Fellowship,” hosted by the Ministry of Science and ICT, is a national talent cultivation project that discovers top-tier young researchers in the AI field with global competitiveness. Additionally, it supports next-generation infrastructure. This project (Project Name: AIRBAK) promoted by the KAIST consortium aims for the ultimate goal of developing AI inference models capable of knowledge system expansion. It also intends to apply them to the bio-medical field. The GPU infrastructure, strengthened to the highest level, is gathering high expectations for providing an optimal environment. This environment is where young researchers can immerse themselves in research.
Attendance of Key Stakeholders from Both Institutions and Commitment to Leading Future-Oriented Medical Convergence Technology
At the venue, key stakeholders from both institutions attended in large numbers to grace the occasion, including KAIST Professor Yejong Chul, Professor Ju Jae-gul, and Associate Professor Park Chan-young, alongside DRGEM CEO Park Jung-byung, Executive Vice President Kim Jong-sung (Head of R&D Center), and Principal Engineer Jang Woo-jin (Head of Imaging Technology Development Team, IMS Business Division). DRGEM CEO Park Jung-byung stated, “I hope that the high-performance GPU server built through DRGEM’s support will serve as a powerful catalyst to vitalize the next-generation AI research ecosystem and accelerate technological innovation in the bio-medical field.”
Moving forward, DRGEM plans to continue close cooperation with top research institutions to advance global medical imaging technology and support innovative research.
