A next-generation Cray XMT supercomputer has been delivered to the Noblis Center for Applied High Performance Computing (CAHPC) in Danville, Va. The CAHPC is the first facility in the United States, outside of a federal laboratory or academic facility, to house a Cray XMT supercomputer.
The CAHPC, a collaborative effort between Noblis and Cray, a global leader in supercomputing, was created to accelerate the development and commercialization of applications requiring graph analytics and to increase U.S. competitiveness and create sustainable high-tech jobs. The Center will promote the development of High Performance Computing (HPC) applications and train the next generation of developers to innovate using HPC.
Former Governor George Allen toured the CAHPC as part of a City of Danville-organized tour of renovated buildings and local economic revitalization projects. Gil Miller, Noblis Vice President and CTO, and Will Mitchell, Noblis’ Danville site leader, led the tour. Noblis President and CEO Amr ElSawy and Allen spoke by video teleconference between the CAHPC and the Noblis Innovation and Collaboration Center in Falls Church, Va.
