Scovazzi’s research focuses on finite element and advanced numerical methods for computational fluid and solid mechanics. High performance computing has accomplished a massive jump in speed in a relatively short amount of time, while drastically reducing energy consumption and the trace on the environment.” “What is impressive about this new cluster is that it is more powerful that the NASA Ames supercomputer I was using towards the end of my doctorate work in 2002. It literally means ‘among the clouds,’” explains Scovazzi. “Nivolet is the name of a mountain pass near Mount Grand Paradiso, in my homeland, Piemonte, Italy. Supported by a Defense University Research Instrumentation Program (DURIP) grant from the Army Research Office (ARO) and the Pratt School of Engineering, the new $300,000 setup dubbed Nivolet will help Scovazzi drastically cut down computing times for his research.
