<p>“Maintaining its place at the forefront of scientific research, Princeton has brought together three high-performance supercomputers to establish one of the nation’s leading university-based research computing facilities.</p>

<p>“The move comes as research that used to take place almost exclusively in Princeton’s laboratories is moving increasingly toward its computing facilities. </p>

<p>“Cooperation between Princeton’s Office of Information Technology (OIT), the Princeton Institute for Computational Science and Engineering (PICSciE), the School of Engineering and Applied Science and the provost’s office — along with leading computational scientists on campus — has brought together the speed and versatility of high-speed supercomputers nicknamed “Della,” “Hecate” and “Orangena” to respond to these evolving needs.</p>

<p>“With three large central supercomputers dedicated to research computing, Princeton is today a leader among higher education institutions in providing central support for researchers,” said Betty Leydon, the University’s vice president for information technology and chief information officer.</p>
