Through its Private Sector Program (PSP), NCSA has provided supercomputing, consulting, research, prototyping and development, and production services to more than one-third of the Fortune 50, in manufacturing, oil and gas, finance, retail/wholesale, bio/medical, life sciences, technology and other sectors. “We’re not the typical university supercomputer center, and PSP isn’t a typical group,” Giles says. “Our focus is on helping companies leverage high- performance computing in ways that make them more competitive.”
