Syracuse University researchers have received a grant from the U.S. Air Force Office of Scientific Research to build a distributed graphics processing unit-accelerated platform that can process large datasets.
The $295,000 grant will enable professors Jian Tang, Biao Chen, and Pramod Varshney to purchase nine GPUs built for machine-learning tasks. The units, typically used to process visuals intended for output on personal computers and videogame consoles, will be able to sort through massive datasets to find anomalies or errors.
"Data fusion is coming from multiple sensors in a system, and we find out information from them," Tang says.
Once the work is complete, the Air Force plans to build an application on top of the researchers' GPU platform.
The research will support the U.S. military, but the work also could be applied to commercial applications.
