New Jersey Launches Supercomputer Initiative to Boost University Research Capacity
What happened
Governor Mikie Sherrill announced the New Jersey Supercomputer Initiative (NJSCI). The program unites government agencies, private technology companies, and eight research universities. The initiative is designed to double the combined supercomputing capacity available at New Jersey's research institutions. This infrastructure will support research into artificial intelligence, healthcare, and environmental challenges.
