I'm curious, what university has a $200MM super computer?
I know governments have numerous Supercomputers that blow past $200MM in build price, but what universities do?
- sophacles 3y agoUniversity of Illinois had Blue Waters ($200+MM, built in ~2012, decomissioned in the last couple years). https://www.ncsa.illinois.edu/research/project-highlights/blue-waters/ https://www.ncsa.illinois.edu/research/project-highlights/bl... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue_Waters https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue_Waters They have always had a lot of big compute around.

Even when individual universities don't-- governments have supercomputing centers that universities are a primary user of and often charge back value of computing time to the university or it is a separate item that is competitively granted. Here we're talking about Jupiter, which is a ~$300M supercomputer where research universities will be a primary user.
