Rutgers Teams With IBM to Build Powerful High-Performance Computing Center in New Jersey
Rutgers has formally launched a high-performance computing (HPC) center at the university focused on the application of "big data" analytics in life sciences, finance, and other industries. The center is aimed at improving the economic competitiveness of New Jersey's public and private research organizations.
The HPC center will be part of the newly created Rutgers Discovery Informatics Institute (RDI2) and will utilize supercomputing equipment and software provided by IBM in the project's first phase. Rutgers anticipates future expansion of the center will lead to the university having one of the world's most powerful academic supercomputers.
