FAU Purchases Super High-performance computers for their Boca Raton Campus


With the concentration of high tech companies here and moving into the region, including Motorola, IBM and Scripps as well as medium-sized and small technology companies, these computers, purchased from SGI in Mountain View, CA, may be serving the needs of these technology companies. Initially there will be six projects:

… creation and analysis of advanced tools for parallel program development
… biometrics
… experimental mathematics
… solid state physics
… biomedical sciences
… media systems development.


University research and possible future collaboration with Scripps Florida are in the plans.
