Overview
This programme will seek to train industry in big data techniques for the 4th Industrial Revolution (4IR), and to develop solutions to industry big data challenges, through day to day collaboration in the KREATE lab and organised workshops. Together, members of the centre from industry and academia will work to solve the challenges resulting from large data sets.
Programme outcomes
- Development of hardware to process and store the resulting large amounts of data.
- Design and production of digital backends (GPUs, FPGA boards).
- Development of far reaching Machine Learning (ML) applications and algorithms.
- Creating radio astronomy instrumentation, electronics and manufacturing niche in eThekwini for creation of future work in the SKA era.
- Workforce upskilling in Radio Frequency (RF) engineering and mechanical infrastructure development.
