Not directly related to PC issues, but … the Pittsburgh
Supercomputer Center (PSC) is losing its federal funding. It was somewhat expected, and it
happened. The National Science Board voted to end the 11-year funding of the PSC, and the
supercomputer center at Cornell in Ithaca, NY. That leaves just two supercomputer centers:
San Diego, CA and Urbana-Champaign, IL. The PSC will receive $11M over the next two years
from the NSF to phase out its operations. Its current budget is approximately $15M a year.
About 100 folks at the PSC---right next door to us at CMU/SEI--- will be affected by this. |
