NYU IT’s Director of Research Technology Services, Stratos Efstathiadis, spoke with NYU’s Alumni Magazine about plans for a new supercomputer and network that is targeted for 2020. Efstathiadis hopes NYU IT’s Research Technology Services’ efforts will “attract more funding, enable researchers to apply for bigger grants, attract faculty, retain talented faculty, and attract advanced students.”
The supercomputer will require 1.5 megawatts of power to run all the University’s high-performance computing needs. Efstathiadis said NYU IT is “looking at the latest technologies in CPUs and storage, which may produce the fastest machine in New York City.”
