Online Learning Update

Earthquake preparedness, violent explosions of massive stars at the end of their lives, effectiveness of climate change response policy and teaching students about high-performance computing: These are some of the 130 projects undertaken in the National Center for Supercomputing Applications at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign this year, tapping into the computing power of Blue Waters, the center’s high-performance computing system. Among all of the research undertaken, at least one percent of them — 60 million core hours of computational capacity — each year is dedicated to “educational work,” projects intended to support the development of a national workforce with expertise in petascale computing.
