In my experience, the latter was usually missing in most universities. However, when I asked to test Palmetto before deciding to join Clemson, I quickly realized that Palmetto had both, and both were very topnotch. That definitely put Clemson on top of my list as future destinations. In the last 8 months at Clemson, has further reinforced the impression, and the synergistic interactions between computational materials scientists, computer scientists and CITI that I have observed is simply exemplary. Most importantly, I have been able to focus on science, rather than worrying about overheating of my cluster, that too without the hassle of waiting forever on queues - for once, I am having my cake and eating it too!”-Sapna Sarupria – Chemical EngineeringFormer Faculty at Princeton University34HPC: Research ImpactsFunding• $96.8 M – awards to Clemson HPC users since 2009• $15.5 M – awards to Clemson HPC users in FY14Degrees Conferred• At least 36 PhD degrees produced from research groups that make use of the Palmetto Cluster Publications• At least 115 publications made possible because of Palmetto Cluster (since FY10)*• Majority (~90% +) of these are refereed journals 35Center of Excellence in Next Generation Computing & CreativityPartnership with IT and Faculty• Working collaborations between faculty, staff and students, the Center seeks to have a transformational impact on research and education. • Academic interests driving IT prioritiesFocus Areas• Security, Identity, and Privacy• Advanced Computing• Next-Generation Networking• Data Science• Digital Humanities• Creativity (cross-discipline)Funding• Private Sector/Industry Partnerships• Federal Grants• Clemson University36Center of Excellence in Next Generation Computing & Creativity• Partnered with Faculty in Electrical & Computer Engineering, Arts, Architecture & Humanities, and Athletics with focus areas in:• Advanced Networking and Software Defined Networking• Information Security and Assurance Research• Digital Literacy & Creativity• Dell, BigSwitch, Adobe, & Clemson Partnership on Next-Generation Tools & Technologies37Door to Humanities:   Adobe PartnershipMajor gift ($11.3M) to the University which enables:• Creative Cloud access for all Clemson faculty, staff, and students• Access to Digital Publishing Suite• Training Opportunities• Student Competitions• Adobe Digital Studio in Cooper Library• Access to Adobe Marketing Cloud & Anywhere in Progress38Social Media Listening Center(s)• Reps from other universities and industry continue to visit the SMLC.
