UNM’s Center for Advanced Research Computing is renovating its principal machine room in order to install a new supercomputer.

The expansion of the machine room will enable the center to complete the installation of all 13 racks of the Ulam supercomputer, a powerful machine that the center received from The New Mexico Consortium, said Susan Atlas, director of CARC.

“The expansion will be complete by the end of February or beginning of March and the Ulam machine will come online about a week after that,” Atlas said.

The New Mexico Consortium donated the supercomputer to UNM with support from its National Science Foundation-funded PRObE supercomputing initiative, which provides repurposed supercomputers from Los Alamos National Laboratory to several universities across the country.
