This award supports planning for a large-grant project addressing the scalability issue among heterogeneous systems, specifically for big-data and deep-learning applications. This project supports an interdisciplinary planning process, with researchers from computer architecture, high-performance computing (HPC), security and privacy, systems, and algorithms.

This project aims at developing an intelligent bar hanger that intelligently leverages several cloud-point cameras as input and grabs the bar to hang it towards a targeted pin via a Robot Arm. Location identification at mm level, path planning with constraints, real-time control system module integration are the major efforts.
