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.”
Eventually, the Private Sector Program decided it needed to have its own supercomputer. “We needed an HPC system built purely around the interests, challenges, requirements and desires of industry,” Burness says. “That was going to be the only way we could appropriately serve this community.”
