Starting in January 2022, the Hanlon Lab will have new workstations with 34 inch curved conferencing monitors. These workstations are a great addition to the computing capacity of the Hanlon Lab, especially for students. These machines come with Intel i9-11900 CPU and nVidia GeForce RTX 3070 GPU. This configuration is perfect for developing deep learning projects. Due to current supply chain delay, this is almost every machine learning developer's dream now - not many people have 30 of them in one room. The computers have already been deployed in the lab, and the monitors will be available in the Spring 2022 semester.
