Top GPU Compute Resources in Canada




1. 

Digital Research Alliance of Canada (formerly Compute Canada)



  • Main Role: Provides national advanced research computing (ARC) infrastructure to Canadian researchers.
  • GPU Resources: Offers powerful clusters with GPU nodes for AI, deep learning, and scientific computing.
  • Major Supercomputers:
  • Niagara (at SciNet, University of Toronto): Large-scale parallel jobs, supports GPU workloads.
  • Beluga (Calcul Québec): Optimized for GPU-intensive AI workloads.
  • Cedar (Simon Fraser University): High memory and GPU capacity.
  • Graham (University of Waterloo): General-purpose and GPU nodes.




2. 

Vector Institute (Toronto)



  • Specialized in AI and deep learning research.
  • Access to high-performance GPU clusters (often via partnerships).
  • Works closely with universities and the private sector (including NVIDIA).




3. 

Mila – Quebec AI Institute



  • Based in Montreal, founded by Yoshua Bengio.
  • Focused on deep learning research.
  • Access to GPU clusters for academic and industry use.




4. 

Private Sector Data Centers



  • Companies like Amazon (AWS Canada), Google Cloud, Microsoft Azure all have Canadian regions with GPU-based services.
  • Canadian firms like D-Wave (quantum computing) and CGI (IT consulting) also invest in cloud and GPU resources.
