NERSC
National Energy Research Scientific Computing Center
A world leader in accelerating scientific discovery through computation
Located at the U.S. Department of Energy's Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, NERSC is DOE's flagship center for unclassified high-performance computing and is home to a 2,528-processor IBM SP, the world's most powerful unclassified supercomputer. Since it was established in 1974, NERSC has pioneered the concept of the supercomputing center and developed many of the technologies and practices which have defined high-performance computing. Today, NERSC provides critical systems and services to 2,500 users at national laboratories, universities and research institutions in 41 states across the country. NERSC users are making new discoveries in fields ranging from the fate of the universe to characteristics of new materials, from developing cleaner-burning engines to analyzing climate change, from unraveling the secrets of our genetic makeup to investigating tomorrow's sources of energy.

Cornell Theory Center
The Cornell Theory Center (CTC) is a center of excellence in
high-performance computing and interdisciplinary computational research
located on the Ithaca campus of Cornell University. CTC pushes
technological advances to accelerate the solution of scientific,
engineering, and business problems. A satellite facility, CTC-Manhattan, located at 55 Broad St. in New York's financial district, offers a special emphasis on solutions to problems in computational finance. CTC pioneered the adoption of fully industry-standard high-performance clusters for large-scale computing.
CTC is funded by Cornell University, New York State, a number of federal agencies, and corporate partners.
Pittsburgh Supercomputing Center
The Pittsburgh Supercomputing Center (PSC) is a national resource with major funding from several federal agencies, the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and private industry. Operated by Carnegie Mellon University as a joint effort with the University of Pittsburgh, and the assistance of Westinghouse Electric Company, the PSC facilitates scientific and engineering research requiring high-performance computing, educates and trains researchers in computational science techniques and advances the state of the art in many associated fields, including data storage, visualization and networking. Throughout its fifteen year history, PSC has been widely recognized for its ability to acquire, integrate and deploy very early examples of the most powerful high-end systems, working closely with the suppliers, with the computer science community and with computational scientists to achieve ground-breaking and award-winning scientific results.
Oak Ridge National Lab
ORNL's Center for Computational Sciences is one of two DOE high-performance computing research centers established in 1992 as part of the federal high-performance computing and communications initiative. Goals of the initiative include utilizing and moving to maturity state-of-the-art computing systems, using high-performance computing to help solve "grand challenges" and increasing the use of high-performance computing in the industrial sector.
ORNL's IBM and Compaq supercomputers boast more than 1.5 teraflops (1.5 trillion calculations per second) computing power.
AHPCC
The Albuquerque High Performance Computing Center (AHPCC) provides resources in computational sciences and educational resources. It is associated with the University of New Mexico (UNM).
Users and technology partners often take advantage of the AHPCC´s innovations in Linux Superclusters. We use these resources to promote advancements at UNM, Alliance, and industry.
The High Performance Computing, Education, & Research Center (HPCERC) manages the AHPCC.
Sandia National Labs
Sandia is a multiprogram laboratory operated by Sandia Corporation, a Lockheed Martin Company, for the United States Department of Energy under contract DE-AC04-94AL85000. With main facilities in Albuquerque, N.M., and Livermore, Calif., Sandia has major research and development responsibilities in national security, energy and environmental technologies, and economic competitiveness.
Ohio Supercomputer Center
OSC (Ohio Supercomputer Center) emerged in 1987 to empower Ohio's
researchers, government, and industries with the latest
high-performance computing and networking technology. Its mission is
to make Ohio the education and technology state of the future.
OSC's High Performance Computing Division provides cluster computing,
data storage, and scientific codes to Ohio faculty. Through its
educational outreach programs, OSC trains everyone from middle-school
students to military officers. OARnet, OSC's networking division,
connects more than 90 higher education institutions and the state
government through broadband Internet services and is an Internet2
Testing and Evaluation Center. OSC's Technology Policy Group
addresses the legal and policy challenges embedded in technology use.
Arctic Region Supercomputing Center
The Arctic Region Supercomputing Center (ARSC) is located on the
University of Alaska Fairbanks campus and provides computational
resources to scientists and engineers within the University of
Alaska, the Department of Defense, other academic and scientific
institutions, and government agencies. Founded in 1993, the center
supports a 32-processor Cray SV1ex, a 272-processor Cray T3E and a
200-processor IBM SP. In addition, the center supports a variety of
networking and visualization hardware and software. The ARSC staff
includes experts in high performance computing, networking,
visualization and data storage.
Texas Advanced Computing Center
The Texas Advanced Computing Center (TACC) develops and deploys

Indiana University
An IBM Life Sciences Partner, a Sun Center of Excellence in Chemical Informatics, and home to the nation's largest university-owned computer, the goal of Indiana University to rise to a position of absolute leadership among institutions of public higher education in the creative use and application of information technology. But information technology, though critical, is still just a tool -- it relies on people for its effective utilization, whether they be those who use these tools on a daily basis, those who instruct others how to use them, those who create or design new uses for these tools in teaching and research, or those that ensure they are maintained in good repair. IU recognizes that eminence in the use and application of information technology requires the University to build more effective partnerships with other research institutions as well as with industry and government.
