Cosa fa Expanse

Expanse unlocks wasted GPU capacity. We recover idle compute through three capabilities: resource prediction (right-sizing job submissions before they reach the scheduler), optimisation suggestions (code and config changes researchers can apply themselves), and failure prediction (catching jobs that will fail before they consume hours of GPU time). We’re four engineers. We ran HPC and GPU training workloads at the largest quant funds and national supercomputing centres. We faced this problem first hand and the only fix was to over-provision and burn millions. Ismaeel built the first multimodal HPC resource predictor as research at EPCC (Edinburgh’s Parallel Computing Centre), which beat every published baseline. This is the tool we wish we had.

Unlock wasted GPU capacity

What is your company going to make? Please describe your product and what it does or will do.

We built a platform that recovers idle GPU compute time by predicting resource needs before jobs hit the scheduler, suggesting code and configuration optimizations for researchers, and predicting failures to avoid wasting hours of GPU time. It's tailored to HPC and AI workloads run by large organizations who currently over-provision GPUs to avoid slowdowns and wasted money.

Where do you live now, and where would the company be based after YC?

We live in San Francisco, and the company will be based here after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

We are based in San Francisco because that's where we all live and work. Being here keeps us close to the tech ecosystem, early customers, and talent.
