Animal activities and behaviors provide significant insights into the mental and physical well-being of poultry, serving as a key indicator of their health and subjective states. For instance, predicting indoor particulate matter concentration in poultry houses can be informed by broiler activity and ventilation rates. Additionally, locomotor activity acts as a proxy for the gait …
The University of Georgia is enhancing its AI research capabilities with a $2.4 million upgrade to its High-Performance Computing cluster. This summer, the Georgia Advanced Computing Resource Center will add 26 new Graphical Processing Unit compute nodes and three high-RAM nodes to the Sapelo2 cluster.
