CHASS: NCSA and Illinois

CHASS – The Center for Computing in Humanities, Arts, and Social Science at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign. This Center is an interesting partnership between the NCSA (National Center for Supercomputing Applications – the folks that brought you Mosaic) and the University of Illinois. It has the potential, given the partners, to do some interesting stuff with HPC and digital humanities. I am of the belief that we have the most complex data sets and problems for HPC, but need to collaborate with the supercomputing folks to imagine how to tackle the problems.
