NEWS BRIEFS
Dallas, TEXAS — The Pittsburgh Supercomputing Center research exhibit at SC2000 will feature a reduced-scale, multi-processor version of the new Terascale Computing System. Stop by booth R508 to learn how large-scale users of HPC plan to put the new system to work.
In August, the National Science Foundation awarded the Terascale Computing grant to PSC. The initial phase began operations on October 2. Speakers at PSC’s booth will discuss the new system and how its impact on computational science as well as other PSC activities in HPCC. PSC staff will demonstrate PSC activities related to the Biomedical Initiative, Networking, and Scientific Applications.
