What: URI has joined the Massachusetts Green High-Performance Computing Center (MGHPCC) which is collaboration between MIT, Harvard, Boston University, Northeastern and the UMass system. This partnership will advance research computing efforts in the region, including establishing new computational resources and enabling collaborations among URI and all the major Massachusetts universities.
Why: Not only would a collaboration with the MGHPCC help URI computational researchers benefit from access to the vast and world-class computational resources available, there would also be the potential for broadening research collaborations between Rhode Island and Massachusetts universities, including the submission of new collaborative proposals for funding to several federal agencies.
