Blue Waters
From U of I Wiki
Blue Waters is the name of the supercomputer that the Urbana-Champaign campus's National Center for Supercomputing Applications is scheduled to build.
The National Science Board is expected to award the center $208 million to create the supercomputer. It will be capable of calculating 1,000 trillion calculations per second, known as the "petascale barrier". The system will go online in 2011.
Blue Waters is expected to analyze astronomy and biological data.
Dr. Thomas Dunning will direct Blue Waters' operation in conjunction with industry partners in the Great Lakes Consortium for Petascale Computation.
