The centre will be amongst the top ten supercomputing centres in the world and will be based on the blue gene technology of IBM. The supercomputing centre is going to be used for nanotechnology and biotechnology research.
The Computational Center for Nanotechnology Innovations (CCNI) will focus on reducing the time and costs associated with designing and manufacturing nanoscale materials, devices, and systems. Simulation all the way down to the atomic scale is mandatory. The projects will involve the industry, government and university.
“This new supercomputing center dedicated to nanotechnology will have global impact by finding innovative solutions to the challenges facing the continued productivity growth of the semiconductor industry and enabling key nanotechnology innovations in the fields of energy, biotechnology, arts, and medicine,” said Rensselaer President Shirley Ann Jackson.
