Multicore Computational Center
Multicore Computational Center
To revolutionize the productivity of computational applications by
taking advantage of multi-core parallel processing software and hardware
technologies in collaboration with industry, government and universities.
To evolve to a leading national center in providing service oriented
computational solutions employing multi-core technologies for the
optimization of problems in the fields of environmental and geophysical
sciences, chemical, aerospace, defense, bio-medical informatics,
financial, and event driven simulations and visualizations.
MC2 Directors Blog- 6-15-08 This blog report concludes our extremely successful first year of research accomplishments and evangelism efforts of the staff of the Multicore Computational Center. Successful in terms of the many awards, gifts, publications, system hardware and software installations and national recognition gathered by the MC2 staff which in actuality was only a gestation period of nine months. Equally noteworthy is our identification and planning of exciting new initiatives for the coming year, which hopefully will be part of a second year IBM extension of MC2.
Let me now share with you some of the past accomplishments by citing some in a random order of importance: Read more
BALTIMORE - The University of Maryland, Baltimore County (UMBC) and IBM today announced a new collaboration to create The Multicore Computing Center (MC2), a unique facility that will focus on supercomputing research related to aerospace/defense, financial services, medical imaging and weather/climate change prediction. IBM awarded UMBC a significant gift to support the development of this new center, which researchers describe as an "orchestra" of one of the world's most powerful supercomputing chips.
