The SETI Institute is integrating Nvidia’s new IGX Thor platform into the Allen Telescope Array (ATA) to accelerate its search for extraterrestrial signals. Announced on Tuesday, the collaboration aims to power real-time AI signal detection directly at the Hat Creek Radio Observatory in Northern California.
The ATA, comprising 42 antennas, scans the cosmos for radio signals that could indicate distant cosmic phenomena or potential signs of intelligent life. By incorporating the enterprise-ready IGX Thor platform, the Institute can process and analyse incoming data on-site, drastically cutting down the time needed to identify noteworthy signals.
