Supercomputer Coming To Purdue University

Last updated on Thursday, May 1, 2008

(WEST LAFAYETTE) - Purdue University says it will only need one day to install the largest supercomputer on a Big Ten campus.

The so-called "electronic barn-raising" will take place May 5 and involved more than 200 employees. The computer will be about the size of a semi trailer.

Vice President for Information Technology at Purdue Gerry McCartney says it will be built in a single day to keep science and engineering researchers from facing a lengthy downtime.
