February 6, 2019 by
Professor Michela Taufer from the University of Tennessee has been selected to receive a 2019 IBM Faculty Award. “This $20,000 USD award is highly competitive and recognizes her leadership in High Performance Computing and its importance to the computing industry. As HPC and Ai converge, Dr. Taufer will lead work with IBM to bring the IBM Onsite Deep Learning Workshop to the UT campus.”
Video: How ORNL is Bridging the Gap between Computing and Facilities
September 27, 2016 by
“Starting in 2015, Oak Ridge National Laboratory partnered with the University of Tennessee to offer a minor-degree program in data center technology and management, one of the first offerings of its kind in the country. ORNL staff members developed the senior-level course in collaboration with UT College of Engineering professor Mark Dean after an ORNL strategic partner identified a need for employees who could bridge both the facilities and operational aspects of running a data center. In addition to developing the course curriculum, ORNL staff members are also serving as guest lecturers.”
