The San Diego Supercomputer Center deals with the ever evolving Research areas in Computer Science and is one of the most important Research areas in Computer Science, dealing with data management, bioinformatics and so on.
Origin of San Diego Supercomputer Center
The Origin of San Diego Supercomputer Center was in the year 1985 when it was founded with the aim of enhancing the engineering and science discoveries around the world. It began its journey with a grant of $170 million from the National Science Foundation's Supercomputer Centers program.
Research works at San Diego Supercomputer Center
San Diego Supercomputer Center controls potent high-end computing resources which includes Data-Star, with total collective memory of 7.3 terabytes. Data-Star is considered to be one of the best supercomputers in the world which is used for data-intensive scientific research applications on a large scale. Apart from that, San Diego Supercomputer Center was the pioneer among all educational institutions in installing an IBM BG/L eServer, named BlueGene Data.
