Encyclopedia : P : PI : PIT : Pittsburgh Supercomputing Center
The Pittsburgh Supercomputing Center (PSC) is a joint effort between Carnegie Mellon University, University of Pittsburgh, and Westinghouse Electric Company. PSC was founded in 1986 by it's two Scientific Directors, Dr. Ralph Roskies of Carnegie Mellon University and Dr. Michael Levine of the University of Pittsburgh. PSC is a leading partner in the TeraGrid, the National Science Foundation’s cyberinfrastructure program.
Mission
"The Pittsburgh Supercomputing Center provides university, government, and industrial researchers with access to several of the most powerful systems for high-performance computing, communications and data-handling available to scientists and engineers nationwide for unclassified research. PSC advances the state-of-the-art in high-performance computing, communications and informatics and offers a flexible environment for solving the largest and most challenging problems in computational science. As a leading partner in the TeraGrid, the National Science Foundation’s program to provide a coordinated national cyberinfrastructure for education and research, PSC works with other TeraGrid partners to harness the full range of information technologies to enable discovery in U.S. science and engineering." -- [Pittsburgh Supercomputing Center Website]
Partnerships
"PSC is a leading edge site in the National Science Foundation's Shared Cyberinfrastructure program, providing U.S. academic researchers with support for and access to leadership-class computing infrastructure and research.
The National Resource for Biomedical Supercomputing, sponsored by the National Institutes of Health, develops new algorithms, performs original research, and conducts training workshops, in addition to fostering collaborative projects and providing access to supercomputing resources to the national biomedical research community.
In partnership with the DOE National Energy Technology Laboratory, Carnegie Mellon University, the University of Pittsburgh, West Virginia University, the West Virginia Governor's Office of Technology, the Institute for Scientific Research, Duquesne University, The Pennsylvania State University, and Waynesburg College, PSC provides resources to the SuperComputing Science Consortium, a regional partnership to advance energy and environment technologies through the application of high performance computing and communications.
PSC also partners with the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania to offer free grants of supercomputing time to researchers in Pennsylvania. " -- [Pittsburgh Supercomputing Center Website]
