NCAR Wyoming Supercomputing Center: Real Experience in Public-Private Partnerships
Speaker: Jeff Reaves
In 2005, NCAR began looking for a new home for its supercomputing center that had been located at the NCAR Mesa Laboratory for the past 40 years. The Mesa Lab was space and power limited and could no longer accommodate NCAR’s growing supercomputing capabilities. As part of NCAR’s search, a coalition from Wyoming, including the State, the university and private sector parties, came together to make a proposal to locate the new supercomputing center in a new business park west of Cheyenne. This presentation outlines the Wyoming proposal and explains the mutual benefits derived from the NCAR-Wyoming partnership.
