Texas A&M University is offering researchers a new flagship high-performance computing platform.
Named in memory of programming pioneer Vice Admiral Grace Hopper, the Grace supercomputer, powered by Dell Technologies, will serve as a platform for ground-breaking discoveries and innovations in science and engineering at Texas A&M. The new Grace supercomputer is 20 times more powerful than the Ada supercomputer it will replace, which has served as the lead supercomputer at Texas A&M’s High Performance Research Computing since 2014.
"The Grace system represents the next generation of supercomputing — reshaping how science and engineering are transforming massive data into solutions that address the world’s greatest challenges," said Texas A&M Vice President for Research Mark A. Barteau. "In the groundbreaking research performed today, access to superior high-performance computing is vital to our mission of advancing knowledge and inspiring innovation. Grace will enable researchers in the Texas A&M Institute of Data Science and across the university to tackle problems once thought impractical or impossible."
Funding for the Grace system comes from Texas A&M University and the Texas A&M Research Development Fund with contributions from the Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, the Texas A&M Health Science Center, the Texas A&M Transportation Institute and several individual faculty members in the College of Engineering and the College of Science.
