UW-Madison is at the forefront in Systems Computing applied to Edge Computing architectures. Our multi-faceted approach engages several key disciplines needed to solve open problems with Edge implementations and drive adoption in compelling use cases.
The N+1 Institute enables industry leaders to engage with our pioneering researchers.
Coming soon!
Thanks to a generous gift from Qualcomm, the Institute is launching a brand new Edge Computing Lab. Open to both undergraduate and graduate students, the lab will enable student projects to build AI inference applications optimized to run on Edge devices, such as Qualcomm’s Snapdragon and Dragonwing-based smartphones, laptops, and IoT devices. Stay tuned for more information about launch dates and ways to get involved!
