Abstract

"Focus Technology" piece on the University of Maine's new supercomputer is part of a broader vision to expand Maine's cyberinfrastructure and make Maine a center for high-performance computing. This initiative called CIDER û Cyberinfrastructure Investment for Development û aims to promote the supercomputer to businesses as a cloud resource which could help existing and new Maine companies cut back on costs.
