National Science Foundation Awards $390,000 to Research Computing Initiative
September 3, 2020
The National Science Foundation (NSF) has awarded a grant of $390,000 for a new research computing cluster at Syracuse University. The cluster will be built using graphical processing units (GPUs), which offer significant processing and memory advantages over traditional hardware. The new cluster will significantly increase the computing power available to faculty and students.

Architecture Assistant Teaching Professor exhibits at ACCelerate
Assistant Teaching Professor Daniele Profeta of Syracuse University’s School of Architecture exhibited at ACCelerate: The ACC Smithsonian Creativity and Innovation Festival, which was held April 5-7 at the Smithsonian Institution’s National Museum of American History in Washington, D.C.
Profeta’s interactive exhibit on ARCTIC LiDAR was an immersive 360° Video Installation exploring the quickly expanding logistic landscape of the Arctic coast. Using 3d LiDAR scanning, this 360° video captured the primary nodes of this far reaching infrastructure, ranging from Dry Ports to Ice Breakers and Rail Terminals, and re-assembled them in a composite, speculative landscape.
