PSC: 40 Years of Powering Discovery

The PSC newsroom brings you the very latest news in high-performance computing and scientific research. And in 2026, we’re also sharing special interviews and retrospectives on the history of computing at PSC, and the people who made it a reality. 

About PSC

Pittsburgh Supercomputing Center is a joint computational research center with Carnegie Mellon University and the University of Pittsburgh. Our mission is to enable the advancement of science and research. We cultivate collaborative partnerships, empower the next generation of researchers, and provide cutting-edge cyberinfrastructure.

Bridges-2

 

Bridges-2 is a petascale resource for empowering diverse communities by bringing together HPC, AI, and Big Data. It provides transformative capability for rapidly evolving, computation- and data-intensive research, creating opportunities for collaboration and convergence research.

Neocortex

A unique high performance artificial intelligence system designed to revolutionize scientific AI research. 

Anton

 

A special purpose supercomputer for biomolecular simulation designed and constructed by D.E. Shaw Research (DESRES).

 

ACCESS

 

ACCESS, the NSF’s Advanced Cyberinfrastructure Coordination Ecosystem Services and Support program, succeeds the XSEDE program, of which PSC was a leading member.

 

Brain Image Library

 Brain Image Library (BIL), a national public resource and collaboration with CMU’s Molecular Biosensor and Imaging Center and the University of Pittsburgh’s Center for Biologic Imaging, enables researchers to deposit, analyze, mine, share and interact with large brain-image datasets.

HuBMAP

HuBMAP (the Human BioMolecular Atlas Program) will create the next generation of molecular analysis technologies and computational tools, enabling the generation of foundational 3D tissue maps and construction of an atlas of the function and relationships among cells in the human body. 

SenNet

The Cellular Senescence Network (SenNet) is funded by the NIH Common Fund and overseen in collaboration with the National Institute on Aging and National Cancer Institute. SenNet will create a navigable, 3D map of the body that offers data and analysis on cellular aging, shedding light on nerve degeneration, diabetes, cancer, and normal tissue functions.

Trusted CI

Trusted CI works directly with the NSF open science community to tackle individual cybersecurity related projects and challenges and to share best practices through in-depth engagement, training, webinars, and publications. Trusted CI also hosts the annual NSF Cybersecurity Summit.
