ASU researchers are partners in an unprecedented supercomputing project that has been awarded a five-year, $59 million grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF).

The Texas Advanced Computing Center (TACC) at the University of Texas-Austin is the lead institution for the project, which will provide a high-performance computing system for the nation's research scientists and engineers.

TACC and the Institute for Computational Engineering & Sciences at UT-Austin will be assisted in the effort by the Fulton High-Performance Computing Initiative program in ASU's Ira A. Fulton School of Engineering, as well as by the Cornell Theory Center at Cornell University and the computer technology company Sun Microsytems.

The project's goal is to deploy and support world-class high-performance systems with tremendous computing capacity and capability to enhance leading U.S. research programs.
