Description
The Holodeck: High Speed Research Network VIP is a research oriented VIP focused on maintaining, improving, and extending the dedicated fiber optic network connecting NYU's Brooklyn, Lower Manhattan, and Midtown campuses.1 Some projects include a custom pub/sub server, a high speed parallel file system, AI-powered network intrusion detection system, and real time AI/VR applications2.
It differs from many other VIPs in that it is research oriented instead of competition based, and it is a good choice to learn more about building software in a research environment.
