How can high performance computing (HPC) help with disaster planning, diagnosing chromosome-related disorders, and improving therapy for cancer patients? Three new Southern Ontario Smart Computing Innovation Platform (SOSCIP) research projects have been approved to take on these tasks, with the end possibility of saving cities and healthcare systems money, and improving the quality of life for both city patrons, and patients with challenging diagnoses.
The Governments of Canada and Ontario, with IBM and a consortium of seven universities led by the University of Toronto and Western University today announced they are collaborating to establish a new Ontario-based $210 million dollar research and development initiative that will create 145 new highly skilled jobs in Ontario and a new economic cornerstone for the country.
Today is an important day in SOSCIP history - it marks the one year anniversary of the research consortium. And we have a lot to show for the last 12 months, including a project portfolio that now include 34 projects. Watch this space for more details on our inaugural first year over the coming days.
