WASHINGTON — The U.S. Army has bought two new supercomputers to boost data analytics capabilities in response to customers across the military branches requesting such services.
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers awarded a contract worth nearly $32 million to Colorado-based company Liqid. The computers will be installed at the Army Research Laboratory’s DoD Supercomputing Resource Center at Aberdeen Proving Ground, Maryland, according to an Aug. 11 announcement from the Department of Defense.
Offices across all the armed services primarily came to the resource center asking for help building models, but recently the resource center has received a spike in requests for mass data analytics services, said Matt Goss, director of the center.
