Description:

The laboratory is focused on Big Data problems research (processing large text corpora focusing on web data, image data analysis, DNA sequencing). The laboratory is equipped with a computational cluster SMART with 128 cores and disk array with a capacity of 48TB. From the perspective of software used by SMART, it currently offers MapReduce technology, which offers effective processing of big text datasets and MPI technology.

Cooperation: The laboratory cooperates with II SAV (Institute of Informatics, Slovak Academy of Sciences), which owns an identical cluster. These may be linked together in order to gain more processing capacity.

Projects:

• SMART: Research and Development Operational Program for the projects Support of Center of Excellence for Smart Technologies, Systems and Services SMART, ITMS 26240120005, 2009-2011

• SMART II: Research & Development Operational Programme for the project Research of methods for acquisition, analysis and personalized conveying of information and knowledge, ITMS 26240220039, co-funded by the ERDF, 2010-2013
