More muscle for SSC supercomputer

STENNIS SPACE CENTER, Miss. -- One of the Defense Department's most powerful supercomputer centers will more than triple its computing power this summer when it adds three new supercomputers. The more powerful Navy Department of Defense Supercomputing Resource Center will be operational in the fall, and will put South Mississippi’s supercomputing capabilities back in the world's top 100, according to the deputy/technical director of the Naval Meteorology and Oceanography Command. The Navy DSRC is one of five DoD supercomputer centers that Navy, Army and Air Force scientists and researchers use to design new aircraft, ships and military equipment; model and simulate weather and oceand conditions; and for a wide range of other DoD missions.
