Hello, A new project on the LCRC cluster has been requested. Please forward the information on to the LCRC Allocation sub-committee. Applicant's name: Pete Beckman Applicant's institution: ANL Applicant's division: MCS Project Name: waggle Project title: Wireless sensors for Array of Things Associated funding: LDRD, Computation Institute Other Systems: Science: Build standardized machine learning and classification framework for large image and audio data repositories Project description: We will be starting quite small... we first need to develop a toolchain that can run OpenCV and machine learning framework Caffe and TensorFlow. We want to work toward parallel versions, and then train the frameworks up on image data. Initially, the work will need Docker, and we will be integrating other folks code (OpenCV, etc). Later, we will work on parallelizing the toolchain, either as a task farm, or SPMD parallelism. We are still exploring that space. Industry partnership: Project URL: http://www.wa8.gl Requested allocation: 250000 Q1: 50000 Q2: 50000 Q3: 50000 Q4: 100000 Justification: Storage requirements: We may need a couple of TB, since we will be storing large amounts of image data for the machine learning components The requester has used undetermined amount hours of their initial startup project. In addition to approving an initial amount, please specify a Category and Subcategory for this project. For a list of the current selection of approved categories, please see: https://wiki.lcrc.anl.gov/wiki/Processes/Categories Once the Allocation committee has approved the project, please go to the Project Management page to create it: https://accounts.lcrc.anl.gov/projects.php Thank You, The LCRC Accounts System
