NSF NEWS - NSF Awards Research Grant to University of Central Oklahoma Professor The National Science Foundation awarded a $304,745 research grant to University of Central Oklahoma professor of engineering and physics Evan Lemley, Ph.D., and the university’s Center for Research and Education in Interdisciplinary Computation (CREIC). The grant will fund a cluster supercomputer to be named “Buddy,” a nod to the university’s mascot, Buddy Broncho. A cluster supercomputer allows multiple users to work on problems much larger than any one computer or user could handle alone. “Buddy” will support research and education for students, faculty and staff at the university, as well as researchers across the state. “This grant is pivotal in transforming the research computing infrastructure at UCO and meeting the growing needs for high performance computing resources for student-centered research and education at UCO and other institutions in Oklahoma,” said Lemley, who is the director of CREIC and will serve as the lead researcher on the project.
