With the speed and power of HiPerGator3 AI, researchers at College of Agriculture and Life Sciences can run algorithms to review all the image data to quickly detect specific problem areas in the crop fields allowing farmers to address issues immediately. Collecting satellite and drone images results in massive amounts of crop data that farmers could not possibly sift through – and even if they could, they wouldn’t be fast enough to take action to resolve issues to prevent crop loss.


HiperGator3 is the high-performance computing cluster run by the team at the University of Florida Information Technology Research Computing center.

Our team stepped up to the challenge and helped to put the power of AI in the hands of researchers in areas as diverse as dentistry, agriculture and precision medicine and generated immediate and impressive results. Not only would this put additional demands on our technology resources, but we were also working with areas of study that had never used a supercomputer before. We were challenged by the University of Florida’s provost, with a clear standard – that everyone, from chemists and engineers to business and social sciences students, will leave the University as a knowledgeable Artificial Intelligence (AI) citizen with at least an understanding of what AI is, how to use it, and how to do so ethically.
