A project of PacketFive, bringing university-grade AI and HPC training within reach of any laptop.
PacketFive Academy exists to close the access gap in AI and high-performance computing education. The hardware required to learn modern GPU clusters and high-speed fabrics now exceeds the budgets of most universities, research groups and independent learners.
By pairing open-source course material with the PacketFive Cnuas Virtual AI HPC Infrastructure, an open-source, fully software-emulated OCP Open Rack v3 structured GPU cluster you can run on-premises, we give every student access to the exact APIs, fabrics and behaviours of a production AI cluster.
PacketFive Academy is built and operated by PacketFive (Packet Five Networks Limited), an Irish R&D start-up focused on the AI/HPC datacenter space.
Course content, the LMS platform and the underlying Cnuas labs are all open-source under permissive licences.
Material is built on the same primary sources used in graduate-level networking and systems courses, and is peer-reviewable.
From self-taught engineers to formal university programmes, PacketFive Academy content is licensed for free educational use and welcomes collaboration.
The fastest way to see what PacketFive Academy is about is to sign up and try a course.
