The fastest supercomputer in New York City
Posted by Dominic Basulto
NYU has installed a new IBM supercomputer, giving it the fastest supercomputer in New York City. All the more remarkable, since the supercomputer (using IBM's blade technology) only occupies a total space of 30 square feet. While the supercomputer is the baddest boy on the block in NYC, it ranks as the 117th fastest supercomputer in the world.
The computing power will help out the university's Center for Atmosphere-Ocean Science, which is developing sophisticated models to study the behavior of the Earth’s atmosphere and oceans. As well, the new supercomputer will be part of a collaborative effort between the Center for Comparative Functional Genomics and the Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences on genomics and bioinformatics.
