Center for High End Computing Systems (CHECS)

Virginia Tech has announced the creation of CHECS, lead by professors Srinidhi Varadarajan, the primary architect of System X, and Cal Ribbens.

“Our aim is to build a world-class computer systems research group in the service of high-end computing,” Varadarajan said.

CHECS faculty serve as PI on over $8.35 million in current funding, with support from NSF, DOE, NIH, USDA and AFOSR. Fifteen PhD students and twelve MS students participate in these research projects.
