STEPHENVILLE, Texas \u2014 <\/em>An anonymous gift to <\/em>Tarleton State University\u2019s College of Science and Mathematics has created a fresh research opportunity for graduate students interested in high-performance computing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The High-Performance Computing (HPC) Graduate Research Fellowship in Mathematics is the college\u2019s first since Tarleton earned the elevated designation of Doctoral Universities: High Research Activity<\/em> by the Carnegie Classification of Institutions of Higher Education at year\u2019s end 2021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe are extremely grateful for the visionary friends who invest in Tarleton, publicly or anonymously, to create opportunities that promote interdisciplinary discovery,\u201d said Dr. Diane Stearns, Provost and Executive Vice President for Academic Affairs. \u201cGraduate research fellowships like this will bring even more talented students to Tarleton and propel our reputation as a leader in innovation.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Opened a dozen years ago with grants from the NVIDIA Corp., Mellanox Technologies and the Provost\u2019s Office, the university\u2019s High-Performance Computing Lab is a collaborative research hub for all Tarleton researchers \u2014 faculty and students. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

HPC has the ability to process data and perform complex calculations at high speeds. For perspective, a laptop or desktop with a 3 GHz processor can perform around three billion calculations per second. While much faster than any human can achieve, it pales in comparison to HPC solutions that can perform quadrillions of calculations per second. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

More than 400 national presentations have come from work done in Tarleton\u2019s HPC lab. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHPC is transforming every aspect of our world,\u201d said Dr. Michael Huggins, Dean of the College of Science and Mathematics. \u201cIt is the foundation for scientific, industrial and societal advancements \u2014 everything from streaming a live sporting event, tracking a developing storm or analyzing stock trends. This new fellowship takes our STEM discovery to the next level.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to mathematics, the college offers degree programs in biology, biomedical sciences, biotechnology, chemistry environmental science, geoscience, physics and statistics. Learn more at www.tarleton.edu\/cosm<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
