We complement our data from Compute Canada with available data from the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC). Most Canadian Researchers working in the natural sciences and engineering maintain support for their ongoing research through an NSERC Discovery Grant (DG). In some cases, DGs are used as Read more…
Computer hardware requests for CPU and GPU resources. Many of the new advances in AI and ML require substantial hardwaresupport. Therefore, given the lack of direct measures of disruptionfor research in the area, we examine requests for data science related infrastructure as a proxy. Specifically, we collect data about the Read more…
