The San Diego Supercomputer Center, or SDSC, received a $10 million National Science Foundation award for deployment of Expanse2. This is an award supporting a named supercomputer project, not a report that the system has entered service.

The accompanying excerpt places the project within growing U.S. research demand for high-performance computing, or HPC. It names development of AI systems and data-driven agricultural tools as examples of research activities relying on these resources.

The source also discusses university professors and community-college instructors educating students in the use of computing resources. However, the supplied material does not specify Expanse2’s processor architecture, accelerator count, memory, storage, power requirements, performance, or deployment date.
