NSF awards $12 million to SDSC to deploy 'Comet' supercomputer

The San Diego Supercomputer Center at the University of California, San Diego, has been awarded a $12-million grant from the National Science Foundation to deploy Comet, a new petascale supercomputer designed to transform advanced scientific computing by expanding access and capacity among traditional as well as non-traditional research domains. Comet will be capable of an overall peak performance of nearly two petaflops, or two quadrillion operations per second.
