University of Minnesota researchers say they’re producing more data in a day than computers could hold less than a decade ago, and they’ll soon have extra support analyzing it.
In hopes of accelerating research, the University is establishing a new institute to help analyze the large amount of data coming from faculty labs and research centers. The University of Minnesota Informatics Institute will specialize in big data analysis, which officials said is needed more than ever as computers generate more data than researchers can analyze.
