What is SDSC?
SDSC was one of the original five academic supercomputing centers funded by the NSF in 1985 (four from 1990-7), operated by General Atomics.
In 1997, things changed:
- SDSC became a UCSD Organized Research Unit and is now operated by UC.
- SDSC became the leading edge site for the National Partnership for Advanced Computational Infrastructure (NPACI), one of two partnerships funded by NSF.
- SDSC still has partnerships with California universities, through NPACI and otherwise.
