The 15-million worth facility, installed by Inventec and the company-branded BESTA team, includes 20 pieces of RTX-8000 high-speed graphic cards and five multi-CPU high pulse computing servers. Each server is equipped with 768GB memories and two Intel Generation. 2 Xeon Gold extendable processors. The embedded Intel Deep Learning Boost function, with 4-times process efficiency than Generation. 1, works best for parallel computing and machine-learning. The donation also includes a hard-disk drive of 60 TB with full flash array and its software authorization.

President Mao-Jiun Wang thanked Mr. Lee for the donation and said that the donation of 8-million worth cloud server from TEEMA seven years ago had paved a sound foundation for the ‘Tunghai Cloud’. The donation this time would certainly elevate the Tunghai Cloud to develop into an ‘AI Cloud’. President Wang also thanked Director Cheng-Ji Lin of the Computer Center and his predecessor Prof. Chao-Tung Yang for their careful inventory-check and confirmation of what we need so as to optimize the donation.

Mr. Lee highlighted the TEEMA core philosophy of ‘environmental protection, sustainability, industrial service and innovation’ which resonates to that of Tunghai University. At this time of the onset of the cloud computing era, to invest in cloud computing would be to invest in the future. He would be happy to contribute to the best of his ability to Tunghai while the university evolves to become stronger in AI domain to embrace the future.

With the donation, Tunghai University will be providing better services with upgraded cloud infrastructure, including cloud classrooms, cloud development platform, and high-efficiency computing platform. Instead of installing individual laboratory. servers, faculty members will be able to develop specific projects with a shared virtual cloud coding environment. Faculty members are encouraged to fully utilize the resource in their research and combine professional internship programs with topic research and problem-solving in industrial implementation. An estimated 15.78 million NTD will be added to the production value of the university with the upgraded cloud infrastructure.
