Abstract

This project aims to improve the cabling infrastructure of the internal and external data networks at IMECC to support speeds of up to 10 Gbps. In parallel, we also plan to acquire two GPUs to be installed in the IMECC Virtual Laboratory equipment, providing support to faculty, researchers, and graduate students in developing programs and solutions involving machine learning and artificial intelligence.
