Industrial Embedded Vision System with AI Monitoring
EFCO introduced Eagle Eyes Embedded Vision Systems, a family of fanless box computers for machine vision applications. The Eagle Eyes series is the first to offer artificial intelligence monitoring and predictive maintenance through the company’s EKit software package, based on EFCO’s propriety artificial intelligence algorithms, that provide all systems monitoring and systems analysis. The Eagle […]
Exercise Your Jedi Powers with “Force Push”
Researchers from Virginia Tech have developed a virtual reality (VR) technique called Force Push. It allows users to move objects just like a Jedi thanks to a VR approach for remote object manipulation. “You basically push the object in the direction you want it to move to, just like in Star Wars when the Jedi […]
HotSpot Episode 289: Researchers Power up Brain-Like Supercomputer
The High-Tech Evolution of Scientific Computing
To leverage emerging computing capabilities and prepare for future exascale systems, Argonne is expanding its scope beyond traditional simulation-based research to include data science and machine learning approaches. Science has always relied on a combination of approaches to derive an answer or develop a theory. The seeds for Darwin’s theory of natural selection grew under […]
New Framework Pushes the Limits of High-Performance Computing
Large-scale, advanced high-performance computing, often called supercomputing, is essential to solving both complex and large questions. Everything from answering metaphysical queries about the origins of the universe to discovering cancer-fighting drugs to supporting high-speed streaming services, requires processing huge amounts of data. But storage platforms essential for these advanced computer systems have been stuck in […]
