The University of Tennessee (UT) and Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) established the Joint Institute for Computational Sciences (JICS) to advance scientific discovery and state-of-the-art engineering and to further knowledge of computational modeling and simulation by:
- Taking full advantage of petascale and beyond computers housed at ORNL
- Educating a new generation of scientists and engineers well-versed in the application of computational modeling and simulation for solving the most challenging scientific and engineering problems.
The Keeneland Project is a five-year, $12 million Track 2 grant awarded by the NSF for the deployment of an experimental high performance system. The Georgia Institute of Technology (Georgia Tech) and its partners, the University of Tennessee at Knoxville and the Oak Ridge National Laboratory will initially acquire and deploy a small, experimental, high-performance computing system consisting of an HP system with NVIDIA Tesla accelerators attached.
RDAV is the University of Tennessee's Center for Data Analysis and Visualization sponsored by the National Science Foundation as part of XSEDE. The services deployed by RDAV are tightly integrated with UT's National Institute of Computational Sciences (NICS) which is co-located with the Department of Energy's (DOE's) National Center for Computational Sciences (NCCS) on the campus of Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL).
