One of the founders of semiconductor giant Intel, Andy Grove, passed away on the 21st March 2016 at the age of 79.
The CSIRO has teamed up with Dell to deliver a new HPC cluster called "Pearcey" to support research
activities in a broad range of areas such as Bioinformatics, Fluid Dynamics and Materials Science.
"We welcome the naming of the new HPC cluster after Australian ICT pioneer Dr Trevor
Pearcey,"
said Wayne Fitzsimmons, Chairman of the Pearcey Foundation
"We established the Foundation in 1998 in recognition of the work of Dr Pearcey in leading the CSIRO project team that built one of the
world's first digital computers, CSIRAC, which still exists intact and is on display at Museum
Victoria,
making it the oldest surviving electronic computer in the world. It's great to see the latest in HPC at CSRIO continuing his legacy."
