The Information Sciences Institute (ISI) is a world leader in research and development of advanced information processing, computing, and communications technologies — one of the nation’s largest, most successful university-affiliated computer research institutes. ISI’s Video, Image, Speech and Text Analytics (VISTA) lab makes extensive use of machine learning in a variety of application areas such as facial identification, natural language processing, and handwriting recognition.
VISTA selected Altair® Grid Engine® to manage growing infrastructure and accelerate its machine learning research. Key contributing factors for VISTA’s decision to transition to Altair Grid Engine over other vendors included built-in advanced GPU support, detailed documentation, ongoing product upgrades, and expert support.
