University of Rochester Unveils Cutting-Edge Technology

The Laboratory for Laser Energetics at the University of Rochester is marking a significant achievement. A ribbon-cutting ceremony was held on Friday to inaugurate “Conesus”, a new supercomputer. Leveraging artificial intelligence and machine learning, Conesus will aid in advancing the university’s research.

Stephen Dewhurst, Rochester’s vice president for research, stated: “The Laboratory for Laser Energetics is an extremely productive and high-energy-density physics research facility conducting thousands of experiments for hundreds of scientists each year. The advance in computing power Conesus provides will allow the lab and its collaborators to better analyze existing data as well as plan new experimental campaigns more effectively. Our partnership with DOE/NNSA, Dell, Intel, and New York State have been invaluable, and I look forward to the future discoveries this new system will enable.”
