A new supercomputer run under a partnership between IBM and Brown University will be used to tackle "grand challenges" facing the state of Rhode Island, including health, education, energy and climate change.

The multimillion dollar supercomputer will be the most powerful computing system in the state, according to developers, and will be hosted at the university. Brown and IBM will hold a series of discussions between global scientific experts over the next several months to discuss potential research topics for the supercomputer.
