<p>Florida State University has long been at the forefront of computational research, and new high-performance technology is ushering in a whole new level of problem solving.</p>
<p>"Our new High Performance Computing Cluster really represents a substantial level of improvement over the capacity of the previous system, which was already recognized among the world's most powerful university-based supercomputing facilities. It's twice as powerful," says Jim Wilgenbusch, associate director for computing at FSU's School of Computational Science. Along with director SCS Max Gunzburger and a host of FSU faculty, Wilgenbusch opened the facility in September.</p>
<p>The new technology will provide multidisciplinary research programs throughout the university with the infrastructure needed to compete in innovative research areas. The Dell-based system supports the university's Pathways of Excellence initiative, with its emphasis on interdisciplinary research.</p>
<p>The new high-performance computers will allow for study on a host of cutting-edge research topics like weather predictions and climate modeling.</p>
