(v) Background: The National Institutes of Health (NIH) mission is to seek fundamental knowledge about the nature and behavior of living systems and the application of that knowledge to enhance health, lengthen life, and reduce illness and disability. The National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) mission has expanded to encompass a broad range of studies aimed at understanding the structure and function of the human genome and its role in health and disease. NHGRI supports the development of resources and technology that will accelerate genome research and its application to human health. A critical part of the NHGRI mission continues to be the study of the ethical, legal and social implications (ELSI) of genome research. NHGRI also supports the training of investigators and the dissemination of genome information to the public and to health professionals. The NHGRI Undiagnosed Disease Program (UDP) is a program designed to address the needs of persons with debilitating medical conditions for which no diagnosis has been found despite an extensive workup. The goals of the UDP include finding accurate diagnoses and discovering new diseases that provide insight into human physiology and genetics. The UDP was established to evaluate participants who have undiagnosed medical conditions. Participants in the program have generally received extensive diagnostic workups before traveling to the NIH and often have numerous and/or complex medical problems. UDP Goals seek to (1) provide answers to patients with mysterious conditions that have long eluded diagnosis; and (2) advance medical knowledge about rare and common diseases. Purpose and Objectives: The NVidia 8-GPU/512GB DGX-1 Deep Learning System with 1 year of DGX Support is required by the NIH Undiagnosed Diseases Program for implementation of a computationally intensive genomics analysis server. The server contains core processing arrays that use graphics processors. The NVidia DGX-1 array contains a software stack that includes major dep learning frameworks that consist of the NVidia DIGITS GPU training system, the NVidia Deep Learning SDK, NVidia Docker, GPU Drivers and NVidia CUDA that allows rapid design of deep neural networks (DNN). It is the first system that has been designed with NVidia Pascal -powered Tesla P100 accelerators which increase the processing speed, and NVIdia NVLink which increases the GPU memory capacity of the computational system. Procurement: 1. NVIDIS DGX-1 Deep Learning System (Purpose-built by NVIDIA for Deep Learning Arrives with all hardware and software fully integrated. 2. DGX-1 Support, One-Year.
