LSU’s Center for Computation & Technology (CCT) has teamed up with Apple to launch Nemeaux, the newest addition to CCT’s collection of high performance research systems. Nemeaux, a cluster of 24 Apple Xserve G5s, will be used for creative and research projects in the computational arts, as well as in scientific computing. The system was purchased with a US$114,000 grant from the Louisiana Board of Regents. Nemeaux is the only cluster of its kind devoted to computational arts research and “will open new avenues of expression and creativity for artists, musicians and researchers at LSU.”
