Faculty in the College of Engineering and Computer Science have been awarded a $295,000 grant by the Air Force Office of Scientific Research to introduce dynamic data to the design of information fusion systems to accelerate the processing of large amounts of data.
Associate Professor Jian Tang, Professor Biao Chen and Distinguished Professor Pramod K. Varshney will evaluate information fusion, including sensing/data collection, information processing and the fusion objectives, as well as interaction among different layers of the hierarchy. Ultimately, they intend to develop a computational platform that enables scalable stream data processing for real-time information fusion.
The team will combine a custom-built Storm, a widely used distributed computing framework with the powerful processing power of a graphics processing unit (GPU) cluster—creating what they call G-Storm. In doing so, they expect to dramatically increase the system’s speed. They will test, evaluate and report on their findings.
This project represents original research effort on distributed fusion of heterogeneous stream data and will result in a first-of-its-kind distributed GPU-accelerated platform to enable low-latency information fusion.
SyracuseCoE announced that eight research and innovations projects led by its faculty fellows were competitively selected to receive awards totaling $109,368. The new projects engage 15 cross-disciplinary faculty members from Syracuse University, SUNY College of Environmental Science and Forestry (SUNY-ESF),…
Tyler Youngman ’20, G’21 might well be viewed as a Renaissance man in an information age. That assessment matches his capabilities in addition to his high-energy lifestyle, busy campus schedule, and motivated track of coursework and organizational activities at Syracuse University….
For Tripti Bhattacharya, the road to a career in earth sciences has taken a few twists and turns along the way. Bhattacharya, the Thonis Family Assistant Professor of Earth Sciences, first thought she would explore a career in environmental policy…
Albert Einstein first predicted the presence of gravitational waves in 1916 in his general theory of relativity. Fast forward 99 years to 2015, when researchers obtained the first physical confirmation of a gravitational wave generated by two colliding black holes,…
