Developing robust algorithms for self-driving cars requires sourcing event data from over 10 billion hours of recorded driving time. CSE worked with Cognata, a startup developing simulation platforms for autonomous vehicles, to build a Jenkins pipeline and Terraform solution that enabled our partner to dynamically scale GPU resources for their simulations.

Microsoft and Land O'Lakes partnered to develop an automated solution to identify sustainable farming practices given thousands of satellite images of Iowan farms. Our primary goal was to reduce the reliance on manual interviewing of farmers and make it more profitable for farmers to follow sustainable farming practices. To tackle this issue our team deployed a highly scalable Batch AI cluster on Azure and then performed distributed deep learning model training with Horovod.

Over the past two years, Microsoft and Webjet have collaborated to build a blockchain-based solution, Rezchain, to help travel companies reduce payment disputes. In this code story, we’ll share the lessons learned in creating the Rezchain consortium. In particular, we'll focus on how we solved the challenges involved with enabling Ethereum nodes to peer across virtual networks.
