E-Mail Researchers from Rochester Institute of Technology's Center for Computational Relativity and Gravitation (CCRG) are using the world's most powerful academic supercomputer to perform simulations that will help scientists study eccentric binary black hole mergers. Professor Carlos Lousto from the CCRG and School of Mathematical Sciences secured one of 58 new science projects for 2021-2022 that received time allocations on the Frontera supercomputer at the Texas Advanced Computing Center (TACC). Frontera is a National Science Foundation-funded system designed for the most experienced academic computational scientists in the nation. Researchers are awarded time on Frontera based on their need for very large-scale computing, and the ability to efficiently use a supercomputer on the scale of Frontera.
