University of Michigan Looks to OpenPOWER for HPC

The University of Michigan is collaborating with IBM to develop and deliver "data-centric" supercomputing systems designed to increase the pace of scientific discovery in fields as diverse as aircraft and rocket engine design, cardiovascular disease treatment, materials physics, climate modeling and cosmology. "Scientific research is now at the crossroads of big data and high performance computing," said Sumit Gupta, vice president, high performance computing and data analytics, IBM. "The explosion of data requires systems and infrastructures based on POWER8 plus accelerators that can both stream and manage the data and quickly synthesize and make sense of data to enable faster insights."
