novo g2014

Novo-G Reconfigurable Supercomputer Developed and deployed at CHREC Supports a broad range of apps, tools,

and systems research tasks in CHREC and globally

Most powerful reconfigurable computer in known world For some apps & uses, could be

fastest computer of any kind in world! Yes, 1000s of times less cost, size,

power, cooling, etc. than high-end conventional supercomputers

2012 Schwarzkopf Prize CHREC & Novo-G recognized with

2012 Alexander Schwarzkopf Prize for Technology Innovation @ NSF
