Jonathan Appavoo receives MGHPCC seed fund award to support systems research
While it still has yet to have its own home built, the Massachusetts Green High Performance Computing Center in Holyoke is already giving out grants, announcing $600,000 seed grants going to seven research teams.
The seed grants range from $45,000 to $130,000 each, going to multi-university collaborative teams doing research in areas that high performance computing could have an impact – New England coastal ecology studies to medical imaging, the center said in a release today.
A total of 37 applications was winnowed down to the seven winners by a committee of researchers from each of the participating universities, which also funded the seed grants: James Cuff of Harvard, Alain Karma of Northeastern, Azer Bestavros of BU, Jim Kurose of UMass and Chris Hill of MIT. Kurose and Hill are the panel’s co-chairs.
