CHAMPAIGN – The University of Illinois plans to build a new facility to house the planned $200 million supercomputer on campus.
In August, the National Science Foundation board recommended the petascale computer system, capable of 1,000 trillion calculations per second, be built at the UI, under the direction of the National Center for Supercomputing Applications. The system, to launch in 2011, would be 500 times more powerful than the supercomputers currently being used.
