The National Science Foundation Office of Integrative Activities awarded Tennessee Technological University $500,000 on August 1, 2026, under the Integrative Activities program (CFDA 47.083) to acquire a high-performance computing cluster as part of the Major Research Instrumentation (MRI) Track 1 initiative. The instrument comprises six compute nodes integrating three complementary accelerator technologies—accelerated processing units (APUs), data processing units (DPUs), and field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs)—operating in concert to enable research on parallel computing architectures and heterogeneous computational systems. The research objective is to advance science and engineering outcomes by demonstrating enhanced performance from multiple heterogeneous computational elements and networks operating together, with applications including real-time inference and collaborative computing workloads. The instrument will support research and training of undergraduate, master's, and doctoral students at Tennessee Technological University, the University of Tennessee Chattanooga, and the University of Tennessee Knoxville. The award runs through July 31, 2029. Performance takes place in Cookeville, Tennessee.
