Background

The Analytics, Computing, and Complex Systems laboratory, also known by its short name ACCeSs@AIM, is situated within the Asian Institute of Management (AIM) in Makati.[1] It is designated as under AIM's School of Innovation, Technology and Entrepreneurship.[2]

The facility was launched on March 8, 2018 by the Asian Institute of Management (AIM) and Acer Inc.. Acer founder Stan Shih who is also part of AIM's international board of governors for more than three decades was also in attendance during the launch of the laboratory.[1][3]

Usage

ACCeSs@AIM is meant to be used by the Asian Institute of Management's graduate students, and faculty as well as researchers and its other stakeholders. It is meant to aid the growth of businesses through computing technology. The laboratory is meant to encourage public-to-private partnership between the academia, business sectors and the government in the field of research and development.[1]

It is also specifically meant to complement AIM's Master of Science in Data Science program.[4]

Supercomputer

ACCeSs@AIM's supercomputer is provided by Taiwanese technology firm Acer and was donated by the StanShih Foundation to AIM.[2][5] The supercomputer has a capacity of 500 terabytes and computing speed of 500 teraflops making it the fastest supercomputer in the Philippines[1] and among the fastest in Southeast Asia.[3] It was expected to be fully operational by April 2018.[6]

Acer Philippines described the supercomputer's capability as roughly equivalent to 250 "high end" laptops combined. In terms of storage it described the supercomputer as capable of holding "50 years of movie hours".[7]
