NSF Transfers Supercomputer Management From NCAR
|
8.1
The U.S. National Science Foundation said Thursday it will transfer management and operations of the Derecho supercomputer, used by more than 4,000 climate and weather scientists, from the National Center for Atmospheric Research to an undisclosed third-party operator. Derecho, housed in Cheyenne, Wyoming, can perform about 19.87 quadrillion calculations per second; researchers warn the move could disrupt high-resolution modeling and institutional synergies.
Scoring Rationale
Strong national impact with official NSF announcement; lack of details about the new operator limits operational clarity and immediate planning.
