 http://www.governor.virginia.gov/news/viewRelease.cfm?id=796

  "Governor Bob McDonnell today announced that Noblis, a nonprofit
   science, technology and strategy organization that helps clients
   solve complex scientific, systems, process, and infrastructure
   problems in ways that benefit the public, and Cray Inc., a global
   leader in supercomputing, will invest $2.5 million to establish
   the Center for Applied High Performance Computing (CAHPC) in
   the City of Danville.


   The CAHPC will be a world-class center for high-performance
   computing that accelerates the development and commercialization
   of applications requiring graph analytics for the benefit of
   the U.S. The Center will purchase the first next-generation
   Cray XMT supercomputer in the U.S. outside of a federal laboratory
   or academia. CAHPC will use this high-performance computer to
   solve complex problems requiring access to large amounts of data."

 "The mission of the Center is to:
  *)Promote the development of high-performance applications to
    solve problems of national importance
  *)Enable U.S. competitiveness and create sustainable high-tech jobs
  *)Enable small businesses to innovate using high performance
    computing (HPC) capabilities
  *)Train the next generation of developers to create new HPC
    applications
  *)Promote interoperability of HPC architectures and middleware and
    enhance access to legacy systems and data
  *)Reduce the cost barriers to entry to HPC
