UW-Eau Claire’s new supercomputer is being touted as the next step toward a much stronger research wing at the school.
The university unveiled the computer yesterday. Hewlett Packard Enterprise helped pay for the new 733-thousand-dollar computer. UW-Eau Claire’s Rahul Gomes says the new computer is 10 times more powerful than the old supercomputer and will make Eau Claire a regional hub for research.
