The Technology Innovation Institute (TII) in Abu Dhabi has integrated its Quantum Computing Cloud Platform with NVIDIA CUDA-Q. This allows global researchers to submit quantum jobs to TII's physical quantum hardware and simulators using the CUDA-Q programming interface. The integration provides a unified "write-once, run-anywhere" experience for quantum job submission. Why it matters: This partnership enhances the accessibility and performance of TII's quantum computing resources, integrating the UAE's quantum capabilities into the global high-performance computing landscape.
G42 and Cerebras, in partnership with MBZUAI and C-DAC, will deploy an 8 exaflop AI supercomputer in India. The system will operate under India's governance frameworks, with all data remaining within national jurisdiction to meet sovereign security and compliance requirements. The supercomputer will be accessible to Indian researchers, startups, and government entities under the India AI Mission.
Team TII EuroRacing (TII-ER) developed a full autonomous software stack for oval racing, enabling speeds above 75 m/s (270 km/h). The software includes modules for perception, planning, control, vehicle dynamics modeling, simulation, telemetry, and safety. The team achieved second and third place in the first two Indy Autonomous Challenge events using this stack.
Researchers introduce TII-SSRC-23, a new network intrusion detection dataset designed to improve the diversity and representation of modern network traffic for machine learning models. The dataset includes a range of traffic types and subtypes to address the limitations of existing datasets. Feature importance analysis and baseline experiments for supervised and unsupervised intrusion detection are also provided.
Researchers in Abu Dhabi developed H-SURF, a swarm of bio-inspired robotic fish for underwater data collection. Funded by the Technology Innovation Institute (TII) and conducted at Khalifa University, H-SURF uses swarm intelligence and optical communication to minimize disturbance to marine life. The project was recently recognized with the Sheikh Hamdan bin Zayed Award for Environmental Research.
