Cover Story: Use the DEEP-EST prototype!
Early Access Programme Call open until February 28, 2020 (extended Deadline)
The Early Access Programme (EAP) within the EU-funded DEEP-EST project provides academic and industrial users with the opportunities to access and use the DEEP-EST prototype platform. Experienced HPC and data analytic/machine learning users are invited to port/benchmark applications and evaluate the DEEP-EST hardware and software architectures deployed on the DEEP-EST prototype platform through an application for Type1 – Selected Application Access or Type2 – Any Application Access. After the completion of each project a lightweight final report is required to provide feedback.
The DEEP-EST Early Access Programme (EAP) Call for proposals for Type1 Access and Type2 Access will open in January 2020. The single call for Type2 - Any Application Access will close on 28 February 2020. The open call for Type1 – Selected Application Access will close on 15 September 2020.

If there are any questions or support needed regarding the DEEP-EST EAP, please contact our team by email: access@deep-est.eu
Innovation: Accelerating unsupervised machine learning: parallel GPGPU-based clustering with NextDBSCAN

Clustering is a widespread unsupervised machine learning technique whose aim is to group together “similar” data points in any data space. There are many types of different applications where clustering is used to group unlabeled data sets, such as market research, image processing, pattern recognition, etc. In the DEEP-EST project, clustering is used to remove noise and to identify buildings and other structures in a LiDAR point cloud. The picture below shows the result of clustering a LiDAR data set: different colors represent different clusters.
