PSC (Pittsburgh Supercomputing Center)

PSC (Pittsburgh Supercomputing Center) PSC is a joint computational research center with Carnegie Mellon and the University of Pittsburgh.

Pittsburgh Supercomputing Center provides university, government, and industrial researchers with access to several of the most powerful systems for high-performance computing, communications and data-handling available to scientists and engineers nationwide for unclassified research.

In 1995, weather predictions could only warn of dangerous storms about 30 minutes in advance. That year, a team from CAPS - Center for Analysis and Prediction of Storms at The University of Oklahoma used PSC’s Cray T3D supercomputing system to expand warning times from 30 minutes to 6 hours.

"Whether it’s the nature of this field or being a woman in technology, you have to advocate for yourself. Working hard isn’t always enough—you have to ask for opportunities and show people what you and your team are doing."

Chris Csonka sat down with Robin Scibek as we continue celebrating by celebrating the people who make up PSC.

Robin Scibek sat down with Chris Csonka to talk about her journey from Computer Science student at Pitt to Communications Director at PSC.

By 1991, the HPC community had been talking about a high-performance parallel interface for years—and then PSC's network engineers made it work. This led to solutions for problems ranging from chemical process modeling to assigning airline crew to routes, and paved the way for modern supercomputing systems.
