A grant to develop a Terascale Computing
System was awarded to Pittsburgh Supercomputing Center
(PSC) in August 2000 by the National Science Foundation
following review by the NSB. The final system will serve
U.S. researchers in all science and engineering disciplines
with a peak speed of over six trillion calculations per
second (teraflops).
