UT-Austin to Get Large NSF Grant for Supercomputer

Via Technology News Daily.

The University of Texas at Austin’s Texas Advanced Computing Center will host and manage one of the world’s most powerful computers with a $59 million, five-year grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF), the largest single NSF grant in the university’s history.

The computer will significantly increase the computing power and time available to academic researchers around the country who conduct research on subjects ranging from the birth of the universe to the workings of molecules inside the body.

The NSF grant will pay for the acquisition of the computer and its operation.
