Gabriel Wachman
Gabriel Wachman uses the cluster to conduct experiments relating to their work in machine learning. They are in the computer science department. The experiments they have been running have generally been to aid in the comparison of different learning algorithms. By running many experiments over a range of parameters, they can collect data that helps them to draw conclusions on the behavior of the algorithms. Without the cluster, much of the work they have done would have been impossible or at best severely limited.
